"In sugar beet, which has a large leaf area, foliar sprays with three per- cent N, P, K increased the fresh weight of roots and sugar yield by 31 and 40 per cent, respectively."

So I guess what you're saying is, it might be a good idea, at least for people who foliar feed, to try and grow varieties that are known for larger leaf area. More mouths to feed, I know but it shouldn't be that much more expensive. I'm thinking, would a leaf twice the size of another bring in twice as much nutrients when fed? If so, this would have to be good, right?
