Biostimulants for sugar beet
Only beets with upright leaves produce sugar
Sugar beets have particularly high requirements when it comes to soil quality. Healthy and well-formed leaves with an optimal photosynthesis rate and a well-functioning metabolism are essential for high yields. boncrop flow provides crucial support here.
Here, we explain how biostimulants support metabolic processes and root development.
Advantages of boncrop flow in sugar beets and your benefit
Advantages
|
Benefits |
|---|---|
| Strong leaf apparatus | More leaf area and maximum photosynthetic performance |
| Optimised sugar production | A vital metabolism ensures efficient sugar production and storage |
| Greater stress tolerance | Reduced reactions to heat and drought, plants remain vigorous for longer and recover more quickly |
| Improved root growth | Efficient water and nutrient uptake for vital crops |
| Simple application | Optimum application in combination with the last NAC treatment before row closure |
Practical demonstration - boncrop flow in sugar beets
The right control clearly shows that a treatment of boncrop flow results in a significantly larger beet body with well-defined root growth at the root tip. The untreated control (the sugar beet on the left) has a significantly smaller beet body.
Where boncrop flow has been used, the sugar beet crop appears significantly more vigorous. The plants have stronger leaves and bodies. During periods of heat and drought stress, the plants exhibit slower leaf wilting and recover more rapidly, due to greater stress resilience.
This guarantees a greater sugar beet yield with optimal sugar content at harvest!
Controlled trials – Higher beet yield with boncrop flow
In precision trial 2025 on sugar beets (location: Weeze, North Rhine-Westphalia), the use of boncrop flow resulted in a significant increase in yield compared to the untreated control.
The beet yield in fresh mass increased to 113.37 t/ha with boncrop flow, while the control only achieved 108.42 t/ha. This corresponds to a yield increase of +4.6%.
In a controlled trial at the Elstorf site (Lower Saxony), the use of boncrop flow showed a clear increase in yield compared with the untreated control.
With a sugar beet yield of 171.1 t/ha (fresh weight), the treatment with boncrop flow was around +16.2 % higher than the control (147.3 t/ha).
In addition to the beet yield, the sugar yield was also recorded at the Elstorf site. Here, too, a clear advantage was evident: at 26.1 t/ha, the treatment with boncrop flow was 23.7 per cent higher than the untreated control (21.1 t/ha). This confirms the positive effect not only in terms of fresh weight, but also in terms of the crucial sugar yield per hectare.
The results underscore the potential of its use under field conditions: boncrop flow supports the performance of sugar beet and makes a measurable contribution to higher yields – a solid foundation for greater profitability in sugar beet cultivation.
Perfect timing and quantity
We recommend using boncrop flow on sugar beets:
- Recommended application rate: 2 l/ha from BBCH 15 (with the next NAK treatment)
