In Polish field production, beetroot is still in the yield-building phase in the second half of August, alongside carrots, parsley and cabbages. The condition of vegetable plantations is described as varied, depending on planting conditions, soil, water availability and the current development stage of the crop.
Weather has been a direct factor for beetroot plantations in recent days. Periods of high temperature were followed by storms, rainfall and cooling. High temperature combined with low air humidity and strong sunshine increased water loss from plants, while later changes in humidity and temperature were also noted in the field situation.
The effect of the August weather on beetroot depends on how long the heat lasted, whether water was short in the root zone, and how quickly moisture and temperature conditions changed after the hot period. Reports also mention local risks connected with intense rainfall, wind damage and hail in vegetable crops.
