Before sowing beets, gardeners needserious knowledge in its cultivation. Even the shape of the root depends on some characteristics of the culture. The flat form indicates that this is an early ripe variety, the growing season of which lasts 70-80 days. In round beets, the growing season lasts up to 100 days, it belongs to mid-season varieties. The root crop, which has a conical shape, ripens the longest and belongs to late-ripening varieties. Naturally, the later the harvest is harvested, the more suitable are the grown and harvested products for winter storage. On the question of how to plant beets, there are two main answers - sowing with seeds and sowing seedlings. The approximate seed sowing algorithm consists of the following steps:
- pre-sowing of seeds prior to sowing (about a day);
- timing of sowing.If it is desirable to obtain early production, it is best to sow the seeds before winter or in early spring. At the same time, they begin to germinate at 3-5 degrees Celsius and, depending on the further temperature, shoots may appear in the range of 12-20 days. To harvest the winter, seeds are planted at the beginning of summer;
- непосредственный посев семян в заранее prepared soil to a depth of about 4 centimeters. The main attention of the gardener in the preparation of the soil should be paid to how to plant beets with a low level of acidity. To eliminate this scourge, you should make ash or better lime.
Beetroot - relatively cold-resistant culture,seedlings can transfer frosts up to three degrees. However, there are agricultural areas of risk farming, in which it is advisable to grow beet seedlings. These are mainly the northern ranges of the country. In this case, the seedlings of the beets are planted in the ground about thirty days after the end of frost, which is stable in the area, and about 4-6 leaves will form on the plant.
BUCKET CARE
The first thinning in technology, how to plantbeets should be carried out when 3-4 full leaflets are formed on the sprout. Thinning step between shoots of about 3-4 cm. During this process, the most viable shoots are left, and retarded ones are removed. During the second thinning, a similar procedure is carried out, only the gap between the plants should increase to 8-10 cm, and the root crop by this time should reach several centimeters in diameter. After each thinning, it is recommended to apply organic matter in the form of slurry, or fertilize with fertilizers at the rate of 30 - 50 g / sq m. shaded places, but very demanding on the light.
As evidenced by the advice of experienced gardeners,if the beets are grown for domestic needs, it is most effective to plant them around the perimeter of the potato field. Then the family is guaranteed not to be left in the winter without such a generally recognized and useful product, which is extremely necessary not only for the preparation of borscht, but also all kinds of snacks.
