Phosphate Boosts Beets and Yields In South Dakota Fields
On 6.83 acres in Lawrence county South Dakota test plots compared phosphate treated sugar beets with unfertilized ones. Fertilized beets yielded nearly eleven tons per acre versus seven on unfertilized plots. At $7 per ton contract price, phosphate lifted revenue about 28 dollars per acre. Wheat and corn follow ups showed earlier maturity taller plants and potential higher yields.
