for Beetroot
PRESENTED TO:
DR. Nirmala. K. S.

Dept.of Horticulture
Agricultural college, Hassan
Scientific name: Beta vulgaris
Common names: Beetroot, table beet,
garden or common beet
Family: Chenopodiaceae
Origin: Europe and Africa
General aspects Cultivation
practices 1. Propagation & Soil preparation
2. Planting .
3. Fertilization & Irrigation
4. Weed control & Pest control
5. Disease control & Other cultivation practices
6. Harvesting
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
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)
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.
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.
EARTHING UP
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.
Affected leaves
Defoliator
10. Physiological disorder
1.Heart rot:
It is notified minorly, so not taken any measurement.
HEART ROT
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.
12. Yield : 32kg/25sq.m
13. Marketed rate : 8Rs/kg
14.Income : 32 8 256Rs
