Solution(By Examveda Team)

The optimum seed rate for beetroot is 10 - 12 kg/ha. Seed rate may be defined as the amount of seed required for a unit area of land to grow any crop successfully.
Beetroot is the second largest sugar crop. It is a short-duration crop that can be harvested in 6 - 7 months.
Beetroot can be grown on many types of soils; however loamy soil is considered the best out of all the varieties. Anything between 6.3 to 7.5 pH levels is considered good for growing beetroots.
Garden beet is primarily a cool-season crop but grows well in warm weather and hence can be grown during winter all over the plains.
