“…Red beet plants that lack water will become stressed and produce higher levels of secondary metabolites than those with sufficient water (Dewi et al, 2022). The wavelength of light received for the photosynthesis process can influence the accumulation of sugar in red beet tubers (Oh et al, 2022).…”

Silica protects plants from abiotic stress. Planting media provides a place to grow and nutrition for plant growth. The research aims to study the effect of bamboo leaf silica dosage and growing media on the yield of red beets cultivated in the lowlands. The research was designed using a completely randomized factorial design (CRD) with two treatment factors. The first factor is the dose of bamboo leaf silica fertilizer (0 ppm, 0.15 ppm, 0.30 ppm, 0.45 ppm, 0.60 ppm). The second factor is the growing media (soil growing media; soil growing media + goat manure, and soil growing media + goat manure + husk charcoal). Research results: bamboo leaf silica dosage (0.3 ppm, 0.45 ppm and 0.60 ppm) affects the chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll. Growing media soil + goat manure + husk charcoal affects the length of red beet plants, number of leaves, diameter and length of red beetroots, wet weight and dry weight of red beetroots. Combination of growing media treatment (soil + goat manure + husk charcoal) with all doses of bamboo leaf silica increased the chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll. The sugar content of red beetroots was not influenced by the dose of bamboo leaf silica or the growing medium. Keywords: Chlorophyll, Husk Charcoal, Manure, Soil.

“…In the roots, sucrose was the most commonly identified sugar (94.8%), followed by glucose (3.3%) and fructose (1.9%). However, glucose was the major sugar in the shoots [89]. Red beetroot can be considered as a part of a healthy diet for diabetic patients.…”

Beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) is a vegetable that is consumed worldwide in the form of juices, soups, or salads. It is also known for its high content of biologically active substances such as betalains, polyphenolic compounds, vitamins, carotenoids, and other nutrients including, sodium, potassium, and magnesium. The distribution of these compounds in the plant is diverse, some occur in greater amounts in the leaves (e.g., vitamin A, B6) and others are in the tubers (e.g., folate, lycopene). The concentration of bioactive compounds in beetroot also depends on its variety and growing conditions. Recent studies have reported on the beneficial effect of beetroot juice and beetroot products on the body’s efficiency during prolonged physical exercise. The purpose of this review is to discuss the content of biologically active compounds in beetroot and the impact of beetroot product consumption on the human body, based on the latest literature.

Higher seeding densities can negatively affect the yield of microgreens. We quantified the effects of supplemental light quality and seeding density on the yield of microgreens. Seeds of red beet (Beta vulgaris L. ssp. esculenta) were grown in a greenhouse and provided with a narrow‐spectrum (or “purple”) and broad‐spectrum (or “white”) supplemental lighting at nighttime. Purple spectrum contained 90% red, 0% green, 10% blue, and 0% far‐red (R90: G0: B10: FR0) light, and white spectrum had 35% red, 42% green, 23% blue, and 0% far‐red light (R35: G42: B23: FR0). Each light quality treatment contained seeding densities of 50, 150, 300, and 450 g m−2. We measured fresh weight (FW) and dry weight (DW) on days 8, 10, 12, and 14 after sowing, relative growth rate (RGR), canopy area (CA), and chlorophyll (chl)a, chlb, betacyanin, and betaxanthin pigments. The optimal seeding density in the white treatment was 300 g m−2, whereas FW increased even at the seeding density of 450 g·m−2 in the purple treatment. The RGR of seedlings decreased with increasing seeding density but was higher by 27.8% in the purple than white treatment. The slope of the relationship between DW and CA (related to photosynthetic efficiency) was higher for the purple than white treatment (0.012 vs. 0.008 g cm−2). The ratio of chla to chlb (related to photosynthetic reaction center activity) increased by 15% in the purple than white treatment. Therefore, higher optimal density in the purple than white light quality treatment is likely due to increased photosynthetic efficiency of seedlings.
