The effects of various fertilizers on three red beet varieties were investigated in this trial. It was observed that, in this case, the yield did not depend upon the variety characteristic but upon the type of fertilization applied. It was not observed that there was any causality between the realized yield and the chemical composition of red beet roots. It was found out, however that the ratio between the mineral matter of a ram red beet and daily nutrient requirements of a human organism are as follows; there are 2.5 times more potassium and sodium in a red beet, 1.5 times more phosphorous, 4 times more iron, about 40% more calcium, about 50% more magnesium and 60% more copper than it is sufficient to meet the maximum nutrient requirements of a human organism per day.
