The influence of liquid mineral fertilizer from the series of preparations "Megamix" ("Megamix-seeds" and "Megamix-profi") on the inheritance of varietal traits of uterine roots of table beet variety ʻBordeaux 237ʼ was studied. contributed to the reduction of interphase periods and, in general, the growing season according to the variants of the experiment by 4-9 days. In the population of ʻBordeaux 237ʼ variety, the rounded shape of the root crop prevailed. The maximum amount of such root crops was obtained by joint treatment of seeds "Megamix-seeds" and seedlings "Megamix-profi" - 84.0%, with 72% in the control. Root shape index was 0.9 - 1.1. The use of "Megamix" in the technology of growing table beets in vegetable crop rotation had a positive effect on the growth and development of plants. Biometric measurements showed that, on average, the weight of the root crop varied from 234.0 to 248.4 g. the formation of the economic part of the crop was higher than in the control by 0.01-0.04 g/cm2. The maximum yield of table beet 28.4 t/ha was obtained by joint treatment of seeds and seedlings with Megamix-seeds and Megamix-profi, which is 6.2 t/ha higher than in the control. Evaluating the effect of the use of "Megamix" fertilizer, its influence on quality indicators, namely the marketability of 96-99%, was established.
