I would think they would be ok in a trough but allow at least 6" depth.
Excerpt from BBC Gardening:
If you have a small garden, beetroot are easy to grow in pots.
To grow in pots (ideal for round varieties, not long cylindrical ones), choose containers that are 20cm (8in) in diameter and at least 20cm (8in) deep.
Fill loosely with multi-purpose compost leaving the compost just shy of the top.
Tap the pot gently to settle, and firm with your finger tips aiming to leave a 4cm (1.5in) gap between the surface of the compost and the top of the pot.
Sow seeds thinly across the surface and cover with 2cm (0.75in) of compost.
Water and thin out seedlings when they're about 2cm (0.75in) tall, leaving 12cm (5in) gaps between them.
