Early development is important for a high yield, and establishment should be done as soon as the soil is manageable, usually late March or start April (when the ground temperature is between 5-6 °C) .

# data[].attributes.body
Powdery mildew may develop in July or August - in which case fungicide should be applied.

# data[].attributes.body
Sugar beets should not be planted after crops like:

legumes

oilseeds

vegetables

...

with a minimum of three years between sugar beet production. These plants have the same diseases as sugar beets and they affect the soil and so the sugar beet later.

# data[].attributes.body
The best crops before sugar beets:

Wheat

Barley

sorghum

find a location that will receive at the amount of 6 hours of full sun each day. Because Sugar beet is best grown in full sun.

Control of plantgrowth and amount (around may), a lower amount then 35.000 plants evenly spread, can result in reseeding.

# data[].attributes.body
Sugar beet can be used for the production of sugar, animal feed, as fresh beets from Nov-April the following year or in forms of beet pulp, biofuel and manure (leafs).

# data[].attributes.body
Before sowing there will be the tillage. Forms such as conservation-orientated or careful tillage.

# data[].attributes.body
Adding manure or compost to the soil

# data[].attributes.body
Watering them when the soil is dry, consistently. It is better to only water the root, watering the leaves of plants regularly may cause fungal diseases.

# data[].attributes.body
If soil was well prepared beforehand, no extra fertilizer should be necessary. And in poor soil condition, applying a fertilizer low in nitrogen is better. Sucrose concentration decreases with increasing nitrogen input.

The plant density should be of 8-10.000 plants/ha. It's done with precision seeders that implant the seed at a depth of 2-3 cm (with a layer of soil on top).

# data[].attributes.body
Provide sufficient nutrients in the form of fertiliser if needed (ex N, P, K, M).

# data[].attributes.body
Removal of weeds, usually with the use of herbicides 3-4 times, supplied with mechanical weeding.

# data[].attributes.body
Removal of flowering or weed beets, to avoid wild beets growing in the field as weeds, in future sugar beet production.

# data[].attributes.body
If the roots were harvested too late they can be tough and not tender.

# data[].attributes.body
When harvesting, the leafs are chopped off and left on the soil as green manure, while the beets are removed from the soil mechanically.

# data[].attributes.body
For the storage of beets, the beets are collected in piles on the field and covered with a fiber "blanket".

# data[].attributes.body
The longer the crop can stay in the field during the autumn, the higher the yield and sugar content will be, unless frost destroys the leafs.
