Among the ways to increase the yield of beets, you can find many different methods.
Some of them are really effective and affordable.
However, sometimes we have false information regarding this or that recommendation. A striking example of this is the advice to feed beets with salt, says landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti.
Many are convinced that it is this trick that allows beets to grow sweet, tasty and healthy.
Is it really possible to feed beets with salt?
If you want to be sure that the harvest will really grow high-quality, then it is better to abandon such an idea. Most often, salt is used only as a budget analogue of fertilizers, which contain sodium.
However, it is better to give preference to industrial drugs that do not have side effects.
Salt can have a negative impact on the development of the crop. Instead of large and high-quality beets, you can get not the most impressive root crops.
Therefore, this procedure should be abandoned.
