Abstract

Sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris spp. rapacea (Koch) Döll) are grown in many countries, mainly in temperate and Mediteranean climates (Table 1). In most of the regions the sugarbeet are sown in early spring. In some countries winter beet production (sowing in autumn) is quite common (e.g. Spain) and under very favourable conditions sugarbeet are drilled nearly throughout the year (e.g. California with the exception of July and August). In only a few cases sugarbeet are transplanted (e.g. Japan). Under dry conditions sugarbeet are irrigated (e.g. Western USA, Spain, Turkey). Therefore, due to these circumstances, weed infestation in sugarbeet and weed control strategies are quite different in each area. The weed flora is also influenced by crop rotation, soil type and other factors.
