Hey Trava, have you tried a 4‑phase crop rotation for your beet beds? It can cut pest pressure by a third and keep the soil from getting too dense, which is a win for both yield and efficiency.
That sounds like a solid plan. I’ve been mostly sticking to a three‑phase rotation with beets, peas, and a cover crop, but adding a fourth crop might help keep the soil fresher and reduce the beetworm problem. I’ll try it next season and see how the yield compares. Thanks for the tip!
Good idea. Keep the schedule tight, record the results, and you’ll see a clear improvement. Good luck!
I’ll keep the calendar tight and jot everything down. Looking forward to seeing the difference—thanks for the encouragement!
