The trial was planted May 5, 1997 on the farm of the American Crystal Sugar(ACS) research center in Moorhead, Minnesota. Single 25 foot row plots were arranged in a ramdomized complete block design with three reps. Four checks were included, two diploid pollinators and two tetraploid pollinators, all from the ACS breeding program. Beets were hand harvested on Sep. 24. 1997. Root yield, sugar content, impurities(Na+, K+. and amino-N) and tare were evaluated in the ACS research center.
