The research carried out in the Vinnytsia region involved the pre-sowing treatment of sugar beet seeds with the fertilizer “Leonardite” at the rate of 1.0 l/t and its foliar fertilization in the amount of 3 times at the rate of 0.2 l/ha. The results of the research showed an increase in the mass of the root crop, its length and diameter, sugar content, protein, as well as an increase in yield by 13.8% compared to the control.
