Sugar Fertilizer for Crop Cultivation 

The Role of Sugar in Crop Cultivation

For decades, farmers across the Midwest have used sugar to fertilize their crops, with the popularity of its use only becoming more prevalent as years pass. Farmers who tried using a sugar-water solution or adding sugar to fertilizer have overall seen a higher yield in their corn and soybean crops. In reality, sugar offers many of the same benefits for plants and crops as it does for humans. Sugar gives plants the necessary nutrients to receive energy, so you can see a boost in growth potential. While scientists and agriculturists are still performing studies on the direct impact of sugar, many already boast an increase in production when using sugar.


Sugars in crop cultivation also provide similar benefits for the agricultural industries as they do for the food and beverage industry. Just like adding sugar increases the shelf life of food and beverage products, it can also prevent the decomposition of soil. Some farmers are weary of using a messy substance like sugar for their crops, but the benefits are numerous and intriguing enough for most to try using it.

The Best Sugars for Crop Cultivation

Farmers and scientists experiment with all different kinds of sugars to test for changes in results. Farmers have tried sugarcane, beet sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and brown sugar, just to name a few. Namely, any naturally occurring sugars can serve a purpose in crop growth and protection.


In recent years, there has been a resurgence of using molasses as a sugar fertilizer for crop cultivation. You will likely notice molasses as the most commonly used sugar product for fertilization. Molasses, like many other naturally occurring sugars, are non-toxic, high in carbohydrates, and provide many necessary vitamins and nutrients to the soil and crops. Derived from the extraction of sugar from sugarcane, molasses is the resulting product with a smooth, liquid-like consistency, making it convenient to use on its own or as an ingredient in sugar-based fertilizer formulas.

How Sugar Helps with Plant Defense

More than aiding the growth of crops themselves, sugar really comes in handy when trying to protect crops. Adding sugar to the soil of rooted plants helps the plants build up defenses against pathogens that make crops sick and die.


The other thing more studies agree with is adding sugar to crop fertilizer almost immediately invites beneficial insects to the farmland. Sugar attracts "good" insects which help fight off pests and can even help with crop growth by providing nutrients.
