Fodder beet yield is assessed by the mass of root crops, as well as the dry matter and feed unit harvest per hectare. This indicator is critically dependent on moisture availability, plant stand density, and mineral nutrition management.

Fodder beet yield accounting is conducted by establishing test plots and harvesting root crops from trial plots. The primary units of measurement are centners or tons per hectare. In professional practice, in addition to the gross mass of roots and tops, it is mandatory to determine the harvest of dry matter and feed units, as these indicators most accurately reflect the nutritional value of the crop.
Typical yield indicators under rainfed conditions range from 45–50 t/ha. With intensive cultivation technologies, the use of irrigation and growth regulators, performance varies in the range of 50–70 t/ha, reaching 85 t/ha and higher under favorable conditions. The potential productivity of the crop under irrigation can reach significant levels; however, the realization of this potential is directly linked to the optimization of plant stand density before harvest and the balance of mineral nutrition, where an excess of nitrogen can negatively affect root quality.
