Abstract

Soil treatment with twenty gallons of D-D or Telone in combination with 40 pounds of Temik 10G per acre gave 28 tons of sugar beet root yield per acre versus 7 tons from non-treated plots. The cost of applied materials and gross return per acre was approximately $90 and $1064, respectively.
