Abstract
Currently, imports remain an important source of fresh vegetables to Russian consumers. In conditions of import substitution in the agro-industrial complex, cultivars and hybrids of vegetable crops should be considered as one of the means of agricultural production. At the same time, the Astrakhan region has the potential to increase production of melon vegetables and can export vegetables to other Russian regions. For several years, the Precaspian Agrarian Federal Scientific Center of Russian Academy of Sciences has been studying beetroot cultivars and improving methods of cultivation. The object of the study was Russian beetroot cultivars: Matrona, Madam Ruzhett, Bagrovy shar. According to the results of the research held in 2018...2020, the studied cultivars showed high potential productivity, plasticity and technicality. Cost effectiveness of cultivating beetroot cultivars using plant growth stimulants (Agat25-K, Izabion, Agricola) was estimated. During the research years, the highest water consumption was recorded in control variants. This was especially evident in Madam Ruzhett cultivar which had the lowest yield (224.4... 25.7 t/ha). After calculating economic efficiency, beetroot cv. Azhur treated with Agat-25K showed the highest profitability. In all studied variants, this cultivar resulted in maximum net income (1271.5 to 1486.2 thousand rubles/ha) and maximum profitability of production (404.9 to 471.4%) with a yield of 105.7... 120.1 t/ha.
