1.Propagation Beetroot is propagated by seed.

2. Bed preparation The seedbed should be well prepared by

ploughing 15 to 30 cm deep to break up clods.

The soil should also be as level as possible, enough moisture and be free of unrotted plant material.

BED PREPARATION

3. Sowing Date of sowing:10/07/2013

Line sowing

Depth of sowing is 1.5 – 2cm.

The sowing times differ with production areas.

Seed rate : 20gm/25sq.m

Spacing : 30 10cm.

Date of germination:17/07/2013 to 24/07/2013

Page 9: Beetroot ppt

4. Manure & fertilizers Vermicompost : 2kg/25sq.m

FYM : 2kg/25sq.m

N:P:K 40:120:70kg/ha

But we applied 575gm combinely (100gm urea, 300gm SSP & 175gm MOP)

“N” is split into 2(1/2 as basal dose & remaining ½ as top dressing after 3-4 weeks of sowing)

Page 10: Beetroot ppt

5. Irrigation The soil should never be allowed to become dry

and it should be kept moist to a depth of 20 to 25 cm.

Irrigate the field immediately after sowing for better germination.

Subsequent irrigation is done once in two days for better growth.

IRRIGATION

6. Weed control All weeds between the rows must be

removed by hand to avoid damaging the roots.

1st weeding is done 3 weeks after planting.

2nd is at the time of earthing up.

Weeding is done to avoid the competition with crop.

WEEDING

7. Thinning Thinned to a spacing of 10cm at the stage of 2-3

leaves to maintain the proper spacing.

It helps to increase the size of the beetroots.

To remove the diseased plants.

Page 15: Beetroot ppt

8. Earthing up It is done to avoid the exposure of roots.

And also to avoid weeds.

To give support to the plant.

Promoting the desired growth, this may encourage the development of roots.

PEST AND DISEASES

9. Pest

1.Web worm:

Controlled by spraying

chlorpyriphos @ 2.5 ml/lit of

water.

2.Semi looper:

It is a minor pest so we

neglected it.

3.Defoliator:

Controlled by natural fungus.

10. Physiological disorder

1.Heart rot:

It is notified minorly, so not taken any measurement.

11. Harvesting

Maturity of the crop is indicated by colour of leaf.

Done after 70 days.(16/09/2013)

Before harvesting light irrigation is given.

Harvested manually.
