Methodology
Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) variety BTS 2523 in Nampa, Idaho. Randomised complete block design with 5 replications, 4 rows per plot, 22-inch row spacing. Planted 1 April 2022, harvested 5 October 2022. Three treatments: untreated control; ECOGANIC NITROTECH 10 at 32 fl oz/acre; and ECOGANIC NITROTECH 10 at 32 fl oz/acre plus ECOGANIC K-FLOW at 64 fl oz/acre. Single foliar application six days before harvest, CO₂ sprayer with TP 1102V6 nozzles, 60 °F, 39% relative humidity, no wind or cloud cover. Parameters: root yield (tons/acre), sucrose (%), brei conductivity and nitrates, purity of thick juice (PTJP) and estimated recoverable sugar (ERS, lb/A). The report does not include a statistical significance test.

Trial conclusions
The most rigorous trial in the series: randomised complete blocks with five replications, named researcher and company. The combination of ECOGANIC NITROTECH 10 and K-FLOW raised root yield from 54.41 to 60.44 tons per acre — six tons more — and estimated recoverable sugar from 15,155.74 to 16,756.64 pounds per acre, up 1,601 pounds. NITROTECH 10 alone already added 4.56 tons/acre and 1,573 lb/acre, plus a slight improvement in sucrose content, from 16.72% to 16.99%. All from a single foliar application six days before harvest.
