AGROCLIMATIC ZONING OF SUGAR BEETS IN WESTERN SIBERIA

Abstract

One of the primary tasks in sugar-beet production is to study the natural resources for the purpose of introducing sugar-beet growing in new areas and to increase the yield and sugar content of the beets. This especially concerns Siberia where sugar beet production is just beginning in many areas, and in other areas sugar beets have been cultivated for a relatively long time (Altai), but not all sugar-beet growers have secured rich and stable yields. Due to these facts, a consideration of climatic conditions in organizing sugar- beet production in Siberia presents one of the most important links in economic zoning of this crop as a whole. Principally, agroclimatic zoning can be reduced to establishing the presence of climatic conditions determining a certain level of yield, then to mapping these conditions and to outlining on this basis agroclimatic areas for sugar-beet production.
