All plants need some sunlight, and Beta Vulgaris is no exception.
The part of the sugar beet that is harvested and used for sweet purposes is the root. However, the root is mostly used for storage, so the products of photosynthesis are first taken to the leaves and other parts of the plant, and only excess carbohydrates are stored in the taproot. For this reason, sugar beets need longer periods of sunlight to produce more sugars to store in the taproot. Sunlight is a reactant, and sugars are the product of the photosynthesis reaction, so as reactants increase, products increase.

12. Carbon's Journey from Organic to Inorganic

Carbon constantly cycles through the earth through photosynthesis and respiration. Heterotrophs, such as humans, only complete cellular respiration, so plants pick up the slack by absorbing the carbon dioxide back into their system and producing sugars as a result.
In Beta Vulgaris, or any plant, carbon dioxide is taken in from the non-living, inorganic atmosphere and transformed into an organic material that is essential to all life on earth. Carbon dioxide enters the photosynthesis process in the Calvin Cycle,  and through Carbon Fixation, rubisco fixes carbon with RuBP,  eventually creating an organic sugar that can be consumed later by the plant itself or a heterotroph.

This study from Michigan Sugar Beet REACH illustrates the sugar beet's specific need for potassium, phosphorous, and nitrogen (at the right time in the growing cycle). Sugar beets do not thrive in especially rocky soils, so would not grow abundantly in southwest Missouri.

Sugar beets have large amounts of foliage, as shown here. If it is not removed properly, the foliage will regrow while the beets are in stock piles. However, if a heavy frost occurs before harvest, foliage removal is much more difficult. Thus, harvesting in September is easier.
