Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate some physical and mechanical properties of table beet plants, such as the root length, diameter of root, height of leaves, rosette width, diameter of leaf cluster, weight, volume, density, angle of friction between roots and both steel sheet, rubber, plastic and plywood. The positions of tablebeet in the soil. The pulling force required to pull up the table beet root by hand. The tensile force required to strip the top < /em>.
