Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is monogerm, which simplifies sowing and crop care by eliminating the need for seedling thinning. The roots are round in shape and red in color; the foliage height ranges from 30 to 38 centimeters.

The variety has historically been used in breeding research as source material. In professional publications and seed catalogs, the full name Mono King Explorer is used to identify this beet variety to avoid confusion with other vegetable crops named Explorer.
