Sugar beet is one of the main crops with root vegetables, rich in carbohydrates, of which later get sugar.It contains 16 to 20 percent sucrose.A high yield of beet root crops (40t / ha and more), getting sugar from them can be more than 8 tons / ha.
Sugar beet in agriculture holds considerable areas that are located in Russia, Ukraine, China and Poland.In general, European countries produce up to 80 percent of the total sugar beet collection worldwide.
Growing sugar beet seed
first agrotechnical methods is packing of soil ring-toothed rollers after seeding considered culture.This technique facilitates the uniform of their installation, crushes large clumps of soil and prevents the evaporation of moisture from it.
On the fifth day after sowing harrow loosen the soil perpendicular to the crop.By this time the seeds of beets has not yet gone into growth, and weeds have come into the phase of seedlings.As a result, harrowing destroyed 80 percent of the weeds and the soil is saturated with oxygen, thereby accelerating the process of emergence.
After sugar beets has thrown out the first pair of leaves, make harrowing re already sprouting.At the initial stage of development of the vegetable intake it is very effective in the fight against weeds.
the presence on the surface of the soil solid crust, producing its loosening using a rotary hoe.
density beet plants formed by different puncturing schemes depending on the degree of clogging of fields, and the condition of germination.Buketirovku (mechanical thinning) is carried out perpendicular to the rows cultivators under the scheme, which should ensure the preservation of a number of bush plants in rows at the same distance.Thinning beet spend three days later, leaving in each bush a few plants.
Growing sugar beet under irrigation
Farming thus has some features.The irrigated crop rotation plays out as a method of regulating water balance.Thus several times increases its value in preventing Agrophysical reduce soil composition, but also in preventing the development of mass diseases, pests and weeds.
quite important factor for the cultivation of sugar beet irrigation method is the presence in the rotation perennials and grasses.The best predecessor sugar beet Winter wheat is combined with the herbs.Managed soils are usually improved or poluparovymi methods.When plowing is recommended indentation in the soil up to 35 cm.
for weed enforce effective herbicides such as Betanal and Lontrel.In autumn you can spend an additional provocative watering, which causes the appearance of weeds.They were subsequently destroyed by the loosening.Applying the method of irrigation is necessary to provide high power plants with efficient fertilizing.Irrigation sugar beet needs careful mechanized maintenance.
inter-row hoeing (depth of about 10 cm) should be an order of magnitude higher than in conventional cultivation.When watering should be carried out between the rows slotting.Sugar beet will grow more intense when the humidity of the arable land cover not less than humidity rupture of capillaries.
In order to better beet sugar is accumulated, it will take about 14 days before harvesting stop watering it.
Intensive technology of cultivation of sugar beet
main condition for intensification in the cultivation of this crop is the elimination of manual labor in all processes of production and its replacement machinery.
