The aim of the current research is to show the potential areas for autumn sugar beet cultivation in Golestan province according to temperature and precipitation parameters. For this purpose, temperature (daily) and precipitation (annual) statistics were used for a statistical period of 15 years (2006-2020). In order to analyze the data, the methods of thermal potential diagrams, deviation from optimal conditions, phenology and zoning of Golestan province in terms of the amount of irrigation during growth were used from the annual rainfall data. The results of temperature evaluation using the thermal potential method based on the thermal threshold showed zero, 4 and 10 degrees Celsius at the level of stations in Golestan province; Inche Brun station has the highest cumulative thermal unit and Aliabad Katul station has the lowest cumulative thermal unit. Examining the date of the probability of late spring frost at the level of 95% showed that due to its occurrence at the end of April in the center, east, north, northeast and west of Golestan province, it coincides with the phenological stage of root bulking and sugar accumulation. Also, based on the deviation from the optimal conditions in Golestan province, Inche Brun station was calculated to have the lowest deviation (-20.64). Also, in terms of phenology, in the stage of budding, six leaves, root bulking and sugar accumulation and full ripening of the autumn sugar beet plant in Golestan province, the favorable areas for autumn sugar beet cultivation in Golestan province were determined, including Gonbadkavus, Bandar Turkman, Kalaleh, Inche Brun and Bandar Gaz. Also, the evaluations in terms of rainfall according to the annual rainfall zoning map of Golestan province, it can be concluded that in terms of rainfall and water supply required for autumn sugar beet, there is not much limitation towards Golestan province, however, considering the recent multi-year droughts, the cultivation of this plant in the province needs additional irrigation for growth.
