IMPROVEMENT of the rapidity, percentage and uniformity of sugar beet seedling emergence in the field is at present one of the most important needs in sugar beet production. The grower is well aware of a great deal more variation in rate and percentage emergence of sugar beets than of beans, corn, or small grains. In addition to the positive effect on beet yields, the improvement of seedling emergence in the field is necessary before complete spring mechanization can be accomplished.
