- Observation Both cultivation systems yielded sugar beet roots 25–30% above the Polish average.
- Observation Root yields were higher at Płonne than at Bałcyny.
- Observation White sugar yields were higher at Płonne than at Bałcyny.
- Intervention effect Compost produced the lowest organic beet root yield at Bałcyny, 66.1 t per ha.
- Intervention effect Compost produced the lowest organic beet root yield at Płonne, 78.13 t per ha.
- Intervention effect FYM reduced the organic versus conventional root yield difference to 7.7% at Bałcyny.
- Intervention effect FYM reduced the organic versus conventional root yield difference to 2.1% at Płonne.
- Recommendation The authors found no need to convert cattle FYM to compost.
- Intervention effect Bioilsa N 12.5 with Patentkali yielded 78.1 t of roots per ha at Bałcyny and narrowed the gap to 1.4%.
- Association Variety choice affected root and pure sugar yields in both farming systems.
- Observation Eliska gave the lowest yields.
- Intervention effect Replacing Eliska with Jampol at Bałcyny increased organic root yield from 68.8 to 76.0 t per ha.
- Intervention effect Replacing Eliska with Jampol at Bałcyny reduced the organic root yield gap from 10.1% to 2.2%.
- Intervention effect Replacing Eliska with Jampol at Płonne reduced the organic-conventional root yield gap from 6.6% to 0.3%.
