Sugar Beet Trial — 4+ Tons Per Acre Yield Jump

Trial Overview:

Commercial sugar beet operations in Southern Alberta implemented OA-Ag products as a supplement to their existing conventional fertility program. The goal was to test the yield response to carbon-based nutrition without disrupting the existing input program — a low-risk introduction to OA-Ag technology.

‍

Program Applied:

OA Liquid NPK was applied through the existing fertigation and foliar program at key growth stages. The carbon-based liquid formulation was compatible with existing tank mixes and required no equipment modifications.

Key Results:

• Nearly 4 additional tons per acre of marketable sugar beets
• Improved brix levels in treated plots
• Reduced symptoms of salt stress in high-EC field zones
• +30% carbon added to soil with each application
• Grower reported ROI positive in first season

‍

Takeaway:

The sugar beet trial demonstrated that OA-Ag products can deliver significant yield improvements even when used as a complement to an existing conventional program — making the ROI case straightforward for growers who aren't ready to transition their full fertility program.
