Monogerm table beet from the perspective of economic efficiency

Abstract

Abstract Garden beets are one of the most popular vegetable root crops, which are grown everywhere. The existing commodity production in Russia is not able to provide the population’s need for fresh vegetable products. In this regard, attracting the attention of large farms to the culture of garden beets, as one of the economically viable among the group of garden root crops, is an actual task. In connection with the intensification of agricultural production, the cultivation of single-seeded (single fruit) varieties and hybrids suitable for mechanized cultivation is an important direction in the selection of garden beets. The article provides a comparative analysis of economic efficiency in the cultivation of multi-seeded and single-seeded varieties of breeding of the Federal Scientific Center for Vegetable Growing (Russia). The calculations were carried out on tariffs and prices relevant in 2017. It is proved that in the production of single-breed varieties, the total amount of production costs decreases by 19.4%, compared with the multi-seeded standard variety. The high marketability of the products obtained in the context of lower production costs determines an increase in net income from sales, as a result, the profitability of production increases, which makes it possible to introduce single-fruited varieties in crop rotation without risking profit.
