The sugarbeet is an important commercial crop for temperate region and long back tropicalized sugarbeet varieties have been emerged out in the country due to the effort of plant breeders. The cultivation of tropical sugarbeet in India is not a new practice but not yet popularized still; the southern states such as Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu have been already succeeded in its cultivation. The cultivation of sugarbeet requires a sound knowledge of sugarbeet agronomy and one should know the agro-techniques to obtain higher yield and sustain the productivity of sugarbeet. Considerable research efforts made by researchers worldwide in developing the production packages and these agro-techniques may motivate the new researcher to think new areas of research in India. Hence, considerable effort has been made here to review the various agro-techniques of sugarbeet with respect to growth, yield, economics and quality and it is the key subject, reviewed and presented below.
