Sugar beet is grown primarily as a raw material for sugar production. On a smaller scale, sugar beet is also used for ethanol or biogas production. The beets are planted using single grain sowing, with 45-50cm row spacing. A maximum of 9-12 grains per m² are sown. The emergence of the seedlings can be hampered by adverse soil structure, slurry and incrustation, and also pests such as flea beetles or clouded drab moths which can decimate plant stocks. Missing seed dressings must be compensated for by applying the relevant insecticide. As cultivation starts early, there is a risk of frost at the time of emergence. The complex weed control process begins with sowing. Herbicide application is particularly important due to the lengthy juvenile development stage. In later stages, abundant leaf growth is important; leaves need to be kept healthy with the use of sugar beet fungicides. Particularly, the treatment of Cercospora contributes to strong and productive stocks until the harvest.

Single dose of total nutrient requirements:
Sugar beet needs its nutrients concentrated at the beginning of growth. Except for a possible fertilization of potassium in the autumn or the soil preparatory liming, all of the fertilizer is applied in the spring right before sowing. Nitrogen levels exceeding 90-100kg N/ha should be split into two doses, mainly on light soils. Boron and other relevant trace elements are continuously supplemented during plant protection measures.
Use NutriGuide to find the best product for your conditions.
The second nitrogen dose (if N fertilization is split) is applied at the four-leaf stage with 40kg N/ha using a rapidly effective N-form.
