Best Answer

Heavy frosts will stop sugar beets from growing, so plan around the weather in your area. In northern climates, you should plant sugar beets in late spring, whereas in southern climates, you can plant in late winter or early spring.

It's recommended you plant seeds 1 inch apart in rows. When the plants have 4 to 6 leaves, thin them out, leaving 10 to 12 inches between your plants, with 18 to 24 inches between the rows.

It's very important to keep the weeds out of your sugar beet crop, as they do not complete well with weeds.

Sugar beets mature in 90 to 95 days with temperatures between 60 and 80 degrees F during the day and 40 to 50 degrees F at night.

However, this is not always true, because on other sites i found out that sugar can greatly effect the growth of plants in a positive way; in many experiments, people discovered that the plants with the sugar added to them did the best.
