SUGAR BEET

Sugar beet is a biennial plant closely related to the red beet. Sugar beets are white-colored. They have high dry-matter content; their sugar content along amounts to from 13 to more than 20 per cent of their weight.

Sugar beet cultivation has now extended to every country in Europe, to America and many other temperate countries throughout the world. Although the main object of growing beet is the production of sugar, the by-products, tops and pulp, are important to many growers, especially dairy farmers.

The best soil for best is a deep free-working loam, but the crop has been grown quite satisfactorily on well-drained soils of practically all types. Stony soils are unsatisfactorily, because they cause the roots to fork. Best cannot be grown profitably on land, which enquires liming. The highest sugar content is obtained when the best is grown on light land and the lowest on peaty soil. Owing to infrequency of hard autumn frosts in Britain, the roots do not require elaborate storage precautions; but it is necessary that the roots be protected in really hard weather.

The ploughing should be as deep as the nature of the soil will permit, and in some cases it may be profitably accompanied by sub-soiling; it should be done early so that the furrow slices get the benefit of long exposure to winter frosts. A full germination of the seed depends on an adequate moisture supply and this is best secured by consolidating the surface soil with rollers both before and after sowing.

The yield of the crop depends very largely on the number of beets that can be grown to the acre and experience has shown that on the average land an endeavour should be made to produce at least 30,000 plants on this acre.
