Temperature dependent effects of insecticides on sugar beet weevil - Bothynoderes punctiventris Germ

Area-wide mass trapping by pheromone-based attractants for the control of sugar beet weevil (Bothynoderes punctiventris Germar, Coleoptera: Curculionidae).

BACKGROUND Owing to the changing climate, narrow crop rotation, and changes in insecticide application practice, sugar beet weevil (SBW) (Bothynoderes punctiventris Germar) has become the most important economic pest in sugar beet. To develop alternative control methods, an area-wide (AW) control program using aggregation pheromones was implemented over 4 years on an area of 6 and 14.8 km2 in e...

Effect of Storage Temperature and Light on the Freeze-Dried Amino Acids from Sugar Beet and Sugar Cane Molasses

Molasses is a significant by-product of sugar beet or sugar cane refining industry. In this work, the effects of storage temperature and packaging on the contents of free amino acids (AAs) in sugar beet and sugar cane molasses after freeze drying were inquired. The effect of different variables such as, temperature (4 and 25˚C) and light (Metallized polypropylene container and Normal polypropyl...

Residual effects of sugar beet vinasse on plant growth

Residual effeet of a eoneentrated and depotassitied beet vinasse on growth and mineral eomposition of taH feseue (Festuca arundinacea) was studied. Results were compared with those obtained for a mineral fertilizer treatment and a control. Vinasse and inorganie fertilizer had been previously applied to two different soils at two rates for tive years. High doses of vinasse produeed the highest y...
