Different planting areas or different plots in the same area, due to climate, soil, species, cultivation techniques and other conditions, the maturity period of sugar beet is not consistent. According to the specific conditions of each plot of sugar beet, the harvesting period should be reasonably determined and the order of harvesting should be arranged, so that a higher sugar yield can be obtained. Early harvesting is not only low yield, but also low sugar content in the tuberous roots, and the non-sugar substances ? The sugar content of tubers is also low, and the non-sugar substances are widely available and of poor quality. On the contrary, if the harvest is too late, sugar beet is susceptible to frost damage, which increases the content of transformed sugar and reduces the sugar yield of sucrose, and the tubers are not resistant to storage. Sugar beet is suitable for the northeastern planting area. The harvest period is from late September to early or mid-October, mid-October in North China, and mid- or late-October in Northwest China. region for the middle and late October. Of course, the specific harvest time should also be based on the actual situation of the year's sugar beet growth to determine. In line with this, China's sugar beet sugar plant from the middle and end of September each year, the next year in February to stop squeezing (sugar cane season for October to the following year in April).
