Lycium barbarum is suitable for interplanting with beet, because Lycium barbarum is too big to interplant with tall crops, and Lycium barbarum likes cold climate and has strong cold tolerance. Beet is also a crop with strong cold tolerance and is more suitable for interplanting.

Lycium barbarum likes cold climate and has strong cold tolerance. When the temperature is stable at about 7℃, seeds can germinate and seedlings can resist the low temperature of -3℃. When the temperature is above 6℃ in spring, spring buds begin to sprout. Lycium barbarum overwinters at -25℃ without freezing injury. Lycium barbarum has developed root system and strong drought resistance, and can still grow in arid desert. In order to obtain high yield in production, it is still necessary to ensure water supply, especially in the flower and fruit period. The low-lying land with long-term water accumulation is not conducive to the growth of Lycium barbarum, and even causes root rot or death.

With sufficient light, the branches of Lycium barbarum grow healthily, with many flowers and fruits, large fruit grains, high yield and good quality. Lycium barbarum mostly grows in alkaline soil and sandy loam, which is most suitable for cultivation in deep and fertile loam.

Beets grow well in deep soft soil rich in organic matter; The effect of applying chemical fertilizer and organic fertilizer is better.

Irrigation can tolerate high saline-alkali soil, but it is sensitive to strong acid soil and low boron. Boron deficiency inhibits growth and leads to black heart disease in roots. Beets are widely planted in temperate and cold temperate regions, while in warm regions, they are planted in cool seasons. Under suitable climatic conditions, the growth period of vegetable beets is 8 ~ 10 weeks, and some feed beets are as long as 30 weeks.

The growth of 1 year is mainly vegetative growth, which can be divided into four stages: seedling stage, leafy stage, root sugar growth stage and sugar accumulation stage. The growth in the second year is mainly reproductive growth, which can be divided into four stages: leaf formation, bolting, flowering and seed setting. Beet is a warm crop, but it has strong cold tolerance. During the whole growth period, the accumulated temperature should be 2800 ~ 3200℃ above the base temperature of 10℃. The suitable average temperature of root tuber growth period is above 65438 09℃. When the temperature of 5 ~ 10 cm soil layer is above 15℃, the root tuber grows fastest, and it almost stops growing when it is below 4℃.
