Beetroot is one of the most unpretentious garden crops.

However, gardeners want not only to harvest, but also to get large, juicy and sweet root crops.

To ensure that the results of plant cultivation do not disappoint the gardener, he must perform several simple procedures.

Recommendations were shared by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

Loosening

Before the seeds sprout, the soil in the beet bed should be loosened.

After the seedlings appear, the soil between the rows must be cultivated.

This must be done very carefully: the sprouts must not be damaged.

A correctly performed procedure is a guarantee of improving the condition of the roots of the garden crop.

Proper watering

Beets respond well to a certain method of watering.

We are talking about sprinkling, which is irrigation that resembles rain.

It is with this method of watering that the chances of increasing the beet yield will be maximum.

Use of salt

The condition of the plant also improves thanks to a procedure called “salty” watering.

Add 1 tbsp of salt to a bucket filled with water.

The result will be a liquid that should be used to water the bed. Thanks to this "processing" the root vegetables should become sweeter.
