Abstract

The yield of sugar beet depends not only on soil and climatic conditions, but also on the quality of the distribution of plants along the sowing series of these plants. The maximum yield is obtained with the optimal value of the average interval between plants, and all intervals should be the same with a coefficient of variation close to zero. A computer program has been computed for the relative yields, depending on the precision of the sowing and the germination of the seeds. The harvest is calculated in relative terms to exclude the influence of soil and weather conditions. For a maximum, the harvest is taken with the exact location of the optimal number of plants under the same germination conditions. The article contains a calculation program and a graphical representation of the results for sugar beet. This will help determine the rational limits of the number of plants per hectare and the accuracy of their distribution. The accuracy of the distribution of plants is estimated by the coefficient of variation of the intervals between them, which can take values from 0.2 to 1.0. The loss of yields from inaccurate distribution of plants along the row may reach 21%.
