In cases of poor crop establishment of sugar beet, the grower may consider resowing. In these considerations, the differences between the actual and the optimal plant densities and their effects on yield and quality must play an important role, A module to describe these effects is presented. The later in the growing season the decision has to be taken, the lower the plant densities for which resowing is profitable.
