use to cultivated new areas with sugar beet. Thus, the total cultivated area cultivation on raised beds and application of deficit irrigation will be the same as the current cultivated area, but its total production was increase to 11,949.3 and 11,396.3
million tons, respectively or by 10% and 5%, compared to the value of sugar beet
under traditional cultivation.
