| | Sugar beet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Straw bales are used to shield the beet from the weather. | | | Beets are planted from a small seed; 1 kg of beet seed comprises 100,000 seeds and will plant over a hectare of ground (1 lb will plant about an acre). | | | The sugar beet is directly related to the beetroot, chard and fodder beet all descended by cultivation from the sea beet. |

| | Sharma and Sharma (1968) reported that honey bees were "prominent" on sugar beet flowers. | | | Treherne (1923) considered syrphids the most prevalent cross-pollinating insects present on beet flowers, but honey bees, solitary bees, and various Hemiptera were also important. | | | The finding of numerous honey bees or wild bees on beet flowers in the United States is unlikely if there is other pollen available in the area. |

| | Sweet Success . . . The Story of Michigan's Beet Sugar Industry, 1898 - 1974 - Background Reading |
| | Regarding the state's sugar beet farmers in particular, the declining number of farms, beet producing counties and acreage devoted to sugar beet production,were met with significant increases in yields per acre and greater acreage harvested per farm. | | | As regular as clockwork, the harvest of the state's sugar beet crop is a sure sign of the onslaught of winter. | | | Although the cultivation of sugar beets and factory locations during this early period were widespread throughout the state, the primary activity for the industry was in the southern two-thirds of the Lower Peninsula. |

| | Beets are a cool-season crop and grow well in the cool temperatures of spring and fall. | | | Keep the beet plants free of weeds which use nutrients and moisture. | | | Beets can be planted in partial shade, but their roots reach depths of 36 to 48 inches, so don not plant where tree roots will compete (Figure 4). |

| | Beets are planted from seeds, are frost tolerant and produce the best commercial quality when grown during cool temperatures (50° to 65°F [10o to 18.3°C]). | | | Even though the root develops in the soil the best part of the beet from a nutritional point of view may be the beet tops. | | | The tops are also an excellent source of vitamin A. A comparison of the various nutrients found in beet root and beet tops shows that, on a per weight basis, the tops have a higher nutritional value that the roots. |
