Soil Temperature Guide for Drilling Sugar Beet Seed
Monitoring soil temperature is a vital parameter to consider when planning to drill sugar beet seed. Planting into a warming seedbed will help to optimise field emergence and promote strong establishment. In addition to ensuring a level seedbed and good soil structure, the British Beet Research Organisation (BBRO) highlight that “seed germination will start where soil temperatures are above 3°C but will be slow below 5°C” (BBRO SB Reference Book, 2019).
