INCREASE MARKETABLE YIELDFour years of university and independent replicated trials conducted in multiple growing regions show Crystal Green Blends increase yield as compared to the grower standard practice.

Crystal Green maintains sugar content giving growers the benefit of an increased yield without impacting sugar content.

SEASON-LONG PHOSPHORUS TO MEET DEMANDSugar Beets are a phosphorus hungry crop. In many soil types, the use of traditional fertilizer programs will cause phosphorus to tie-up in the soil and be unavailable when your beets need it most.

With its unique Root-ActivatedTM release of nutrients, Crystal Green is a superior fertilizer blend partner providing season-long phosphorus through all stages of beet growth.

HOW CRYSTAL GREEN WORKS

Crystal Green has a unique Root-Activated™ mode of action; when the plant exudes organic acids Crystal Green releases nutrients. This continuous release of nutrients allows for increased efficiency of phosphorus uptake by the plant. This also helps to minimize the phosphorus tie-up that is common in soils of extreme pH.

WITH CRYSTAL GREEN, SUGAR BEETS THRIVE

When sugar beets get the phosphorus they need from one season-long application of Crystal Green, nutrient demands are met. Even in high P soils, Crystal Green showed a positive yield response, optimizing nutrient uptake by remaining plant-available. Phosphorus satisfied sugar beets produce higher yields while maintaining sugar content.
