Sugar beet fertilizer needs and application tips
Michigan State University soil scientists advise sugar beets require phosphate and potash in balanced amounts varying by soil type. Recommendations include 2-16-8 or 4-16-4 grades for humus-rich soils and 3-12-12 for lighter loams, with careful drill placement to avoid seed damage and a total of 400 to 500 pounds at planting. Include a legume hay crop to supply nitrogen. Money invested in Victory Bonds will help bring the boys home.
