FOLIAR FEEDING OF SUGAR BEET
An important element of the crop growing technology that helps to increase the yield and sugar content of sugar beet is the optimization of mineral nutrition taking into account the situation in the fields. For the second half of the sugar beet growing season ECOORGANIC offers the following foliar feeding programme:
- From leaf closure within the row to closure between rows: to strengthen sugar accumulation and prevent physiological diseases – ECOLINE Boron (Premium) 1.5 l/ha + ECOLINE Copper (Chelate) 0.5 l/ha.
- After row closure: to increase plant resistance to diseases and enhance photosynthesis – ECOLINE Magnesium (Chelates) 2.0 l/ha + GROS Phosphito-NP 1.5 l/ha.
- Last fungicide application: to increase sugar content, strengthen sugar synthesis and its flow into the root and improve the technological quality of the sugar raw material – ECOLINE Phosphite (K-Amino) 1.5–2.0 l/ha.
