Better Sugar Beet Nitrogen Requirements Set
Published Thursday, May 14, 2009 at 05:00 AM
In the study researchers at the ARS’ Northern Plains Agricultural Research Laboratory in Sidney, Montana found there are very minor differences in how eight sugar beet varieties commonly grown in northern Wyoming and southern Montana respond to nitrogen fertilization. Therefore, growers do not have to further complicate their fertilizer-management decisions by adjusting nitrogen applications for individual varieties. Growers should continue to choose appropriate varieties based on their overall management objectives.
Also, the study's updated nitrogen-response information can improve recommendations for sugar beet, regardless of the grower's production objectives or the variety being grown. Using the updated information tables found in the study's manuscript growers can increase the efficiency of fertilizer applied in their operations, thereby improving net returns through increased sugar and/or tops production.
