Growing season — sugar beet

Beta vulgaris Sugar Beet Group

This is the period from mass emergence to the attainment of technical root maturity, usually ranging from 150 to 220 days. The duration of this stage is the determining factor for biomass accumulation and sugar content.

In the reference 58 varieties crop Sugar beet, where this is mentioned in the description.

The growing season of sugar beet is measured in days and covers the plant's development time during the first year of life, necessary for root crop formation. Standard values range from 150 to 170 days, however, modern breeding hybrids require a period of up to 220 days to fully realize their biological potential.

The duration of the growing season directly affects yield and sugar content. Early sowing allows for the most efficient use of this period for biomass accumulation. If the growing period is shortened due to adverse weather conditions or premature harvesting, the plant does not reach the stage of technical maturity, which leads to sugar deficiency and a decrease in root weight.

The duration of the growing season is also influenced by the agro-climatic conditions of the region and the intensive technologies applied. The use of high fertilizer doses can extend the active growth phase, which requires adjustment of harvest dates to achieve maximum crop productivity indicators.
