Sugar beet is one of the main sugar crops and an important cash crop in three northern regions China (Northeast China, North Northwest China). As arid region, Xinjiang lacks water resources. The establishment a reasonable drip-irrigation system for can not only achieve goal high quality yield, but also crucial efficient utilization fertilizer. This research was implemented experimental field Ac...

The development of bioenergy in Ukraine requires the cultivation energy crops as renewable sources energy. Sugar beet hybrids created using valuable sterile and fertile forms can have a breeding perspective raw material for production biofuel. Therefore, goal is to create experimental sugar beets with high output, suitable obtaining alternative types biofuel, select best them. When creating hyb...

In a four-year experiment, five nitrogen rates (0, 60, 120, 180 and 240 kg N ha-1) were tested over irrigated sugar beets grown on clays, underMediterranean conditions, in centralGreece. There, sugar beets are commonly grown under water shortages, high temperatures and high soil Na concentrations. Contrary to previous reports, N rates did not affect significantly population density (as asse...

Rhizoctonia solani causes crown rot of sugar beets, a severe disease that has destroyed up to 60% of the plants in a test field in western Nebraska. Laetisaria arvalis, a natural hyperparasite of Rhizoctonia spp., was isolated from fields in western Nebraska. To test for the potential for biological control of R. solani, in November 1980 (following harvest) we applied various combinations of a ...

BACKGROUND Intermediates from processing sugar beets are considered an attractive feedstock for ethanol fermentation due to their high fermentable sugar content. In particular, medium prepared from raw sugar beet juice seems to be suitable for use in fermentation processes, but it is microbiologically unstable and requires sterilization. RESULTS This study investigates the effect of ozone tre...

Definitions There are many, sometimes confusing, terms used in the literature. Simple carbohydrate (sugar) refers to monoand disaccharides; complex carbohydrate refers to polysaccharides such as starch. Common disaccharides are sucrose (glucose fructose), found in sugar cane, sugar beets, honey, and corn syrup; lactose (glucose galactose), found in milk products; and maltose (glucose glucose), ...

Germination in Sugar Beets R. R. WOOD Introduction The development of varieties of sugar beets capable of germination from seed at low temperatures, together with the ability to withstand frost after establishment of the plant in spring and resistance to early freezing damage in fall, now appears to be entirely possible. The apparent advantages of such types in temperate climaxes is fairly obvi...

Purification E. A. H A A G E N S E N 1 The process for recovering sugar from sugar beets has existed in its present form substantially unchanged since its inception over 100 years ago. There have been many improvements in technique and equipment but the essential methods have remained relatively the same. Now a new process of juice purification has been developed that promises to remove most of...

A model SUBEMOpo, to simulate sugar beet growth and sugar accumulation for potential production conditions has been evaluated. Given initial conditions, the growth, development and sugar accumulation of the model are driven by observed weather (i.e. maximum and minimum temperatures, rainfall, wind speed, relative humidity and solar radiation). Soil water and nutrients are considered as non limi...
