A method is provided for operating a machine for harvesting root crops and/or for separating root crops from further additionally conveyed material that includes at least soil in the form of loose earth and/or soil aggregates, and also, if applicable, leaves and/or stones. By means of at least one electromagnetic, in particular optical, or acoustic image capturing unit, at least one inspection image is captured of at least one portion of the material, moved relative to a machine frame of the machine by at least one transport element, in particular a screen belt. On the basis of at least one inspection data set generated using the inspection image and/or formed by this image, an evaluation device generates an adjustment signal for adjusting at least one operating parameter of the transport element and/or a further transport element of the machine. At least one feature for describing the ability to be screened of the additionally conveyed soil is determined by the evaluation device and is used for adjusting the operating parameter. The invention also relates to a machine for harvesting root crops and a computer program product.
