Sugar Beet - Deformation

Symptoms
The leaves are cupped upwards and the whole plant has an upright appearance. Younger leaves show chlorotic leaf blades, while the leaf veins and a small margin around them remain green.

Reasons
Manganese deficiency. Iron deficiency symptoms start like manganese deficiency as intercostal chlorosis on younger leaves, but only the veins remain green then, and not a margin around them. A lack of Magnesium and Zinc causes similar symptoms, but occurs on older leaves first.

Manganese deficiency made worse by

  • Organic soils
  • Sandy soils
  • High pH
  • Cold wet periods
  • Fluffy soils

Manganese is important for

  • Promotion of healthy foliage
  • Increases beet yields
  • Increased sugar levels
