Sažetak
One of the most important agrotechnical measures in sugar- beet production is sowing and the selection of varieties. Foreign varieties, i.e. sugar- beet hybrids of five breeding institutions from Western Europe, are sown in Croatia. The most represented varieties in the production nowadays are those varieties of Z-type which are tolerant to Cercospora, Rhizomania and/or Rhizoctonia. Sugar- beet seed which has been finally processed with high quality and pelleted is used for sowing. Some varieties’ seed has been finally processed by specific methods (EPD, Energ hill, Start up, 3D plus) which enable a quicker and more balanced germination. Sugar- beet sowing term in Eastern Croatia is from the second ten- day period of March to 5th April, depending on the soil and weather conditions. The sowing is done in the final plant density in the way that sowing distance in the row is from 17 to 21 cm. The sowing distance in the row should be chosen in such a way to ensure plant density of 90.000 to 100.000 plants/ha during harvest.
