Sugar beet growing in Latvia after World War II maintained at the same level as before. Comprehensive operations such as improvement of soil, fertilization, field-works mechanization and other activities were performed in the big specialized farms. In despite of that, the level of production and efficiency of work were quite low in a number of farms, resulting in decreased sugar beet yields comparing to increased planted areas. This trend is changing nowadays. The novel one-seed sugar beet varieties, herbicides, fertilizers and higly efficient agricultural machinery as well as other factors created good basis for the development of sugar beet growing.
