Beta vulgaris sp vulgaris TYPE evaluation 2016 Date: 12/28/2016

Every accession in the Beta vulgaris sp vulgaris collection (1,816 accessions) as of 12/28/2016 was given a TYPE designation based on previous evaluation data, passport data, information from the International Database for Beta (managed by the IPK, Germany) or other information found on the internet.
