Beetroot planting time and method planting technology and key points

Beetroot planting time

Beetroot can only be planted once a year. The suitable sowing period is the middle half of April in Northeast China, the first half of April in Inner Mongolia, and the first half of April in Xinjiang. Appropriate early sowing can extend the development period of beetroot and help increase the sweetness of beetroot.

Beetroot planting methods and key points

1. Growth environment

Beetroot grows well in most containers and its leaves are dark green and very ornamental, so it can also be grown as a potted plant. It likes sunny places, so it is suitable to be grown on the sunny side without affecting its ability to receive light.

2. Planting

Beetroot seeds germinate relatively slowly, so they can be soaked in warm water for about four hours before sowing. A relatively high temperature is required when sowing beetroots, and they must not be allowed to freeze. Special attention should be paid to this when planting in the north.

Beetroot planting precautions

Beetroot requires a lot of water to grow. We can water it more frequently, but we must not allow water to accumulate. Water accumulation will cause the roots of the plant to rot and die directly. Therefore, we must also pay attention to drainage after watering. In addition, we also need to pay more attention when harvesting to avoid damaging the skin, as this will be detrimental to preservation.
