The effects of deficit irrigations and nitrogen rates on the yield and size distribution of 'Detroit Dark Red' table beets were investigated during 1985 and 1986. Beets were grown on a Chehalis silty clay loam (fine-silty, mixed , mesic Cumulic Ultic Haploxeroll) (7.5 cm of available water per 30 cm...
Yield, occurrence of root canker (B deficiency), and leaf nutrient concentrations of the Morse strain of ‘Detroit Dark Red’ table beet (Beta vulgaris L.) as influenced by combinations of lime and N, B, and P fertilizers were evaluated in three studies. Greatest total yields and most favorable distribution of root...
Weed management is a continual challenge to Oregon table beet growers. Research over the last several years has documented that s-metolachlor (Dual Magnum) will substantially improve weed control and crop yields when applied alone or in concert with other registered herbicides such as Roneet and Pyramin, with the potential to...

Projects evaluated the potential of controlling hairy nightshade with tankmixes of ethofumesate and s-metolachlor and determined table beet tolerance to s-metolachlor in a commercial production system. Hairy nightshade control with Dual Magnum improved nearly linearly as the rate of Dual Magnum increased. Hairy nightshade control improved significantly when Dual Magnum...
