Sugar beet: products indicated and the dose in each data sheet

Sugar beet spends months forming a root that stores sugar, and the cycle has two stretches with opposite logics: first the plant covers the ground with leaf, and then it thickens the root and stores sugar, a point at which it is best not to prolong leaf growth. Fertilisation is split between sowing and top-dressing and, in irrigated crops, spread across the cycle. It is a crop with its own needs for secondary nutrients and micronutrients, watched throughout the whole cycle.

On this page we bring together the products in our catalogue whose data sheet names sugar beet in its list of crops. In the dose line, our data sheets do this in two ways: some write sugar beet by name within the list of arable crops, and most publish a dose for arable crops —alongside vegetable crops, or for fruit trees, vegetable crops and arable crops at once—, almost always with two routes, foliar and fertigation, and often with two regimes, maintenance and severe deficiency. Some data sheet names sugar beet but does not publish a dose for arable crops: in that row we write nothing and refer you to the data sheet.

The table has three columns: the product, linked to its data sheet; the family it belongs to; and the doses the data sheet indicates for arable crops. Each dose line starts with the use exactly as the data sheet writes it —the route, the regime and the crops it refers to— and continues with the quantity. What is not in the table is in the data sheet: the application timing, which every data sheet publishes in its dose block, the precautions and the mixing incompatibilities. We do not order the products by crop stage because our data sheets do not publish the dose by stage, and here we do not write what the data sheet does not say.

If the question on your farm is which of these data sheets fits the soil, the water and the state of your sugar beet crop, the technical enquiry exists for that: we reply with the data sheet in hand.
