Variety description

10 August 2026

The Hercule variety demonstrates high resistance to the leaf miner Pegomyia mixta, which is confirmed by low rates of larval infestation and the number of spots on leaves during conducted trials.

In comparative studies, the variety was evaluated by parameters such as root mass and length, juice purity level, and sugar content, which allowed it to be included among the studied genotypes for productivity analysis.
