Field experiment reveals dairy manure can enhance sugar beet yield in an 8-year study, indicating nutrient uptake challenges.

Sugar beet yields improved significantly with dairy manure application compared to synthetic fertilizers, enhancing profitability.
Higher rates of manure increased soil nutrients but also raised soil salinity levels, which may hinder future growth.
An 8-year field experiment tested different manure application frequencies and rates, measuring yield and quality outcomes.
Recoverable sugar remained stable despite variations in sucrose concentration due to increased soil salinity from manure.

Leytem et al. (2025) studied this question.
