Some summer residents believe that beets do not "deserve" their special treatment and close attention, so they spend little time on care and observing agricultural practices.
Culture reacts badly to such dismissive attitude.
For example, beets begin to grow greenery, not roots, notes landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert for the online publication BelNovosti.
What shortcomings could be the most serious?
Lack of help in hot weather
It is worth remembering that the crop reacts poorly to overheating, so the quality of the harvest may decrease. It is not necessary to use covering material.
Regular mulching will be enough. This trick will also provide the root crop with the required level of moisture.
Volumetric irrigation
Not everyone knows how much beets appreciate water. It is important to add water in large volumes at once. With the right approach, it is worth using about fifteen liters per square meter.
Timely cleaning
Some summer residents are in a hurry to harvest early, but this is not worth doing. Not everyone knows that the most suitable time for this event is the second month of autumn.
