BEETS BOTANY Present day use is as a garnish rather than as a primary component of the diet. Nomenclature Family - Chenopodiaceae Related Species Beet - Beta vulgaris Other common vegetables in the Apiaceae family are celeriac and parsnip. This family also contains many Origin important herbs and spices including cilantro and fennel as Beet is native to areas of Europe, the Near East, and well as some ornamentals. Africa adjacent to the Mediterranean Sea. Leaves and roots (enlarged hypocotyl) are the consumed plant parts. VARIETIES Related Species Spinach and Swiss chard are the only other vegetables Common Florida beet, carrot, celery, and parsley variet- of significance in the Chenopodiaceae family. The most ies are listed in Table 1. important crop plant in this family is sugar beet.

Celery - Celery water requirements (see Chapter 3, DISEASE MANAGEMENT Principles and Practices of Irrigation Management for Vegetables, Tables 4-6) during rapid growth are similar to Information on managing diseases affecting beet is carrots (105% of ETo) with a slightly lower demand for given in Table 10. water during the final stages of growth and development (95% of ETo). (See also Chapter 3, Table 3) Information on managing diseases affecting carrots is given in Table 11. Parsley - Because parsley is produced for its vegeta- tive growth, initial water requirements (see Chapter 3, Information on managing diseases affecting celery is Principles and Practices of Irrigation Management for given in Table 12. Vegetables, Table 4 to 6) will increase from 20% to 30% of ETo to 100% of ETo (see Chapter 3, Principles and Information on managing diseases affecting parsley is Practices of Irrigation Management for Vegetables, Table given in Table 13. 3) at complete canopy or foliar coverage through harvest. Water stress will reduce leaf growth and development resulting in reduced yields. INSECT MANAGEMENT
