The theoretical foundations of programmatic control of root crops, implemented on a daily time scale during a specific period of vegetation, have been developed. The programmatic control level is crucial, as it is through it that the set control goal is achieved for the adopted crop cultivation conditions. The sequence of technological actions generated by this control level is called a control program, or simply a program. Therefore, this type of control is programmatic. If crop cultivation conditions remained unchanged, the control programs obtained in advance would remain unchanged in real time. Therefore, changing conditions require adjustments to the control programs, which is a real-time task. The sequence of technological operations at this control level includes the application of mineral fertilizers and irrigation at pre-selected points in time. To date, results have been obtained on programmatic control only for crops with above-ground commercial biomass (grass, grain). A theoretical basis for root crops has not yet been developed. This article presents the results of programmatic control of the condition of root crops whose commercial mass is located in the soil. They were obtained using the example of sugar beet management.
