The growth process of sugar beet

Seedling stage (within 30 days after sowing)
Goal: Keep the soil moist and promote seedling emergence.
Irrigation amount: The soil moisture content is maintained at 60% -70% of the field capacity.
Attention: Avoid waterlogging that can cause root rot.
Rapid growth period of leaf clusters (30-60 days after emergence)
Goal: Promote leaf growth and establish a photosynthetic system.
Irrigation amount: The water demand increases while maintaining soil moisture at 70% -80%.
Suggestion: Based on rainfall conditions, irrigate every 7-10 days.
Root swelling period (60-120 days after sowing)
Critical period: the core stage that determines yield and sugar content.
Irrigation amount: The maximum water demand is required, and the soil moisture is stable at 75% -85%.=
Attention: Avoid sudden dryness and wetness to prevent cracking of the root tubers.
Sugar accumulation period (30 days before harvest)
Goal: Reduce water content and promote sugar conversion.
Irrigation amount: gradually decreasing, soil moisture drops to 60% -70%.
Suggestion: In case of heavy rain, timely drainage is necessary to prevent sugar loss.
