Plant Density, Plot Types, and Replication. Plant density for commercial sugar beet production is designed to maximize sucrose yield, not total plant yield. In Europe and North America, for practical reasons including irrigation and cultivation, seedis planted in rows spaced 50 to 80 cm apart, with final plant densities between about 50,000 and 80,000 plants per hectare. Beds are used to facilitate furrow irrigation in those areas where irrigation is practiced.
