Fertilizer must then be supplied in a timely manner. On clay soils, crust formation hinders a smooth field emergence. As a result, some of these plots have varying positions and relatively low plant numbers, Cosun said. Growers try to limit the damage with special crust breakers or sprinkling, in order to get even more plants. The national state of sugar beets is variable because the earliest sown beets in the four-leaf stage are with plant numbers of 80,000 to 90,000 per hectare. Cosun also reports that more than 500 hectares of the beet have been sown in the Netherlands so far. Overseeding The main causes of overseeding are frost damage, hail damage, and crust formation. In East Brabant, night frost in particular causes damage to young beet plants. 240 hectares of sugar beet have already been sown in this region. The northern part of the Noordoostpolder has been particularly affected by hail. 87 hectares have now been sown there.
