Variety description

10 August 2026

The Menhir variety is classified in official catalogs as a fodder beet. In some cases, the name is mistakenly associated with other crops or companies due to naming coincidences with varieties of other plants, in particular a tomato hybrid.

Current agricultural crop registers contain no data on the existence of a sugar beet variety named Menhir. Mentions of this name in the context of sugar beet in market databases are considered erroneous.
