[QUOTE="robbie, post: 6488053, member: 7037"] My take on beet N from a light land point of view is, first N of about 1/3 of total after drilling. Tiny little seedlings 20 inches apart arnt going to find and make use of huge amounts of N as they just haven't got the root structure. 2nd N which is the balance of the artificial N I apply at about the 6-8 leaf stage. By then the beet plants have the roots to capture the available N and have used the first dose. Then from about full canopy I recon the beet have then got onto the applied muck and the muck has broke down enough to become available to the plant and this keeps them going through the rest of the season. In the absence of muck id do three equal splits at the above timings. Obviously all N max, rb209 and Nvz rules are followed and the amount of artificial N is reduced to allow for N from organic manures. I would go as far as saying I agree with [USER=2119]@DrWazzock[/USER] that the 120 kgN/ha limit isn't enough for light land, you've only got to look at what the potential is from beet planted on top of old muck heaps to see what is possible even with a full plant and no gaps the beet are huge.
