Description
Overview
Cassius is a globe-shaped table beet hybrid characterized by a smooth, dark-red exterior and an intense deep-red interior. It combines uniform maturity, high yield potential, a refined taproot and shoulders, and medium soluble solids (Brix). Medium tops and clean foliage make Cassius well suited for the bunch market as well as fresh and processing uses. This variety provides a broad disease resistance package and is widely adaptable to continental, temperate, sub-tropical and Mediterranean climates.
Key Features
Disease Resistance
HR: Rs IR: Cb / Ss
Characteristics
Disease Key
BNYVV — Rhizomania (Beet necrotic yellow vein virus)
Cb — Cercospora leaf spot (Cercospora beticola)
Ps (Pfb) — Downy mildew (Peronospora schachtii / Peronospora farinosa f. sp. betae)
Psa — Bacterial blight/leaf spot (Pseudomonas syringae pv. aptata)
Rs — Rhizoctonia crown & root rot (Rhizoctonia solani)
Resistance terminology
HR = High resistance: strongly limits pathogen development compared with susceptible varieties.
IR = Intermediate resistance: reduces pathogen impact but symptoms may be present.
T = Tolerance: ability to endure abiotic stress without severe loss of yield or appearance.
