the cost and negative aspects of soil tare. Highest soil tare occurs in beet lots harvested out
of wet clay soil. The main problem is that commonly-used share lifters press the soil against
the beet. Thereafter, the wet clay soil adheres strongly to the beet and is difficult to be
removed. The objective of the research was to analyse and improve the uprooting process of
sugar beet, in order to reduce soil tare during harvest on wet clay soil.
