When cultivating sugar beet in the southern forest-steppe zone of Bashkortostan, there is a shortage of soil moisture for 23-64 days. To optimize the water regime of the soils under sugar beet crops, it is required to carry out 3-4 irrigations with a norm of 200 to 700 m3/ha (the irrigation norm is 1150-1650 m3/ha). The highest yield (72.1 t / ha) and the gross sugar harvest (10.67 t / ha) were achieved when irrigation was combined with fertilizers at a dose of N220P240K220, but the highest payback of the active substance of fertilizers and net income were obtained when applying N165P180K165. Production experiments in the steppe zone of Bashkortostan (Buzdyaksky district) they also showed high efficiency of irrigation of sugar beet, the yield of which was 2.4 times higher compared to non-irrigated36
