Banded P Increases Sugarbeet Yields Drs. Jason Ellsworth and Bryan Hopkins Idaho studies show deep-banded APP produced the most significant increases in sugarbeet production. Issue 51, Vol. 14, No. 1 - Winter 2006 - Pages 14-16 (PDF, 2 pages, 88 KB)
Starter Applications of APP Show Positive Response in Sugarbeet Trials Drs. Bryan Hopkins and Jason Ellsworth Surface banding APP (10-34-0) did not show increased sugar percent or yield; at one site it significantly reduced sugar yield. Issue 48, Vol. 13, No. 2 - Early Spring 2005 - Pages 20-23 (PDF, 3 pages, 590 KB)
Using Starters to Reduce Broadcast Applications of P in Sugar Beets Drs. Albert L. Sims and Larry J. Smith Studies show P starters produced yields equal to or exceeding those produced by larger rates of P applied through broadcasting. Issue 42, Vol. 11, No.  3 - Late Spring 2003 - Pages 8-10 (PDF, 2 pages, 20 KB)
Point Injection Of N Shines In Sugar Beet Trials Drs. L.W. Van Tassell, A.D. Blaylock, Bozheng Yang Wyoming researchers provide economic analysis comparing broadcasting with point injection and knife banding. Issue 20, Vol. 6, No. 1 - Winter 1998 - Pages 24-26 (PDF, 2 pages, 129 KB)
Multi-crop Responds To Starters Vary Drs. Paul E. Fixen and Raun D. Lohry Researchers report on yield responses to starters applied on soybeans, canola, sorghum, potatoes, and sugar beets. Issue 5, Vol. 2, No. 2 - Winter 1994 - Pages 14-16 (PDF, 3 pages, 19.2 KB)
