A starter fertilizer can get the sugarbeet crop off to a fast start. Nutrien Ag Solutions product manager Paul Detloff says the return-on-investment can be seen with the tons per acre and the sucrose per acre piece. ‘Riser is a nutritional 7-17-3 product with a micronutrient package and it has the zinc ammonia acetate component to it,” said Detloff. “That’s really different than anything else in the industry, allowing that product to have that zinc available for the plant.” The nutrient release begins in the early spring when the microbes aren’t active. It goes on to release those nutrients throughout the entire growing season.
