Owners of country plots rarely encounter problems when growing beets.
The garden crop is unpretentious and does not require serious care.
However, the plant’s “undemanding nature” does not give the gardener the right to completely relax.
There are several important rules to remember. Following the recommendations listed below will significantly increase your chances of getting a bountiful beet harvest.
Choosing the right "neighbors"
Experienced gardeners have long noticed the following fact: placing beets next to tomatoes and potatoes helps to improve the quality of the root crop harvest.
It is possible that this is due to one interesting property of nightshades: they are believed to protect members of the amaranth family from fungal diseases.
Action after transplantation
Planting beetroot seedlings is a popular procedure. It allows you to get a harvest earlier than usual.
However, it is important to consider the following: immediately after transplanting the plant, fertilizers must be added to the soil. And specifically mineral ones, not "organic" ones.
Proper watering
Beets respond well to such an irrigation method as sprinkling.
If water hits the plant in the form of numerous drops, the chances of a high yield increase.
