宁夏灌区(引黄灌区)是糖用甜菜的种植区。其基本气候特点是:干旱少雨,风大沙多,蒸发强烈。但日照充足,热量丰富,有效积温高,昼夜温差大,无霜期较长,自然灾害少。灌区大部分土壤偏碱性为淡灰钙土。又有黄河水自流灌溉之利,所以甜菜生产是宁夏灌区的一大优势。 Ningxia irrigation area (Yellow River Irrigation Area) is a sugar beet plantation. Its basic climate characteristics are: drought, rainy, sandy and more, strong evaporation. However, adequate sunshine, rich heat, effective high temperature, large temperature difference between day and night, longer frost-free period, less natural disasters. Most of the soil in the irrigation area is alkaline with light gray soil. Another advantage of gravity irrigation of the Yellow River, so sugar beet production is a major advantage of Ningxia irrigation area.
