Extract

Although the experiment described in this paper was undertaken in the first instance to obtain information on local conditions, the results are of general interest as an experiment in the effects of cultivation on the yield and returns of the sugar beet crop. The objects of the experiment were:

(a) To make a comparison of the effect on yield of growing the crop on the ridge with growing on the flat.

(b) To obtain data on the effect of spacing on the yield.

(c) To endeavour to give a financial expression to the results.
