Book Description
This book is a compilation of advancements and achievements in the field of sugar beet cultivation. It covers recent research and up-to-date information on this crop. It discusses essential aspects for high production and good yield, development and crop management, such as origin, breeding, seed production, physiology, pathology, entomology, biotechnology, and post-harvest technology. Sugar beet is known as an alternative crop for sugar production. A versatile crop having numerous uses, besides being raw material for sugar production, its molasses contain high amount of betaine which is used as a feed supplement. Due to its value profile it has attracted the millers and farmers alike. This book is of interest to teachers, researchers, agriculture scientists, capacity builders and policymakers. Also the book serves as additional reading material for graduate students of agriculture, forestry, ecology and soil science. National and international agricultural scientists, policy makers will also find this to be a useful read.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Sugar Beet: Culture, Seed Development, Manufacture, and Statistics The mean summer temperature of these localities is about the same, but the continuation of a semisummer temperature through the winter in southern California greatly favors the growth and manufacture of the beets. In northern Nebraska and South Dakota the beets, which are to be manufactured during the winter time, have to be protected by expensive silos. In southern California and other places similarly situ ated the beets can be protected without any covering, or at most with only a slight covering of leaves or straw. The season for planting in a mild climate is also longer. For instance, in southern California plant-a ing can commence as early as January and continue till June, thus giv ing a beet crop coming continuously into maturity from the 1st of August to the lst of December. In other. Localities the planting must be accomplished in a short time, say from the l0th of May till the 1st of June. Before the first of these dates the ground will be too cold for planting and after the second the season will be. So late as to prevent the maturity of the beets before frost. When the field is properly plowed and subsoiled in the late autumn the farmer will be able to take advantage of the first favorable opportunity in the spring to pre pare the surface of the soil and plant the seed.

Nutrients for Sugar Beet Production
Author: Arthur Philip DraycottPublisher: Woodhead Publishing
ISBN: 9780851996233
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
This book provides an up-to-date review of research on sugarbeet nutrition, including topics not covered in a similar work published in the early 1970s, such as soil and plant analyses, organic farming, sustainability, satellite mapping and remote sensing. Chapter 1 provides an overview of sugarbeet production, the nutrient content and fertilizer requirements of sugarbeet, and yield responses to fertilizer application. The following 5 chapters include nutrient availability, nutrient uptake, nutrient transport, sources of fertilizer, fertilizer recommendations based on soil/foliar analysis, and effects of fertilizers on physiology and yield (chapter 2 for nitrogen; chapter 3 for phosphorus and sulfur; chapter 4 for potassium and sodium; chapter 5 for calcium and magnesium; and chapter 6 for boron, manganese, copper, zinc and iron). Chapter 7 focuses on nutrient deficiencies, whereas chapter 8 discusses organic manures and green manuring as sources of nutrients under organic farming. Chapter 9 reviews research on nutrient reserves and residual effects in crop rotations. Chapter 10 covers the effects of soil physical conditions on sugarbeet performance, whereas chapter 11 discusses the time, form and method of fertilizer application. Chapter 12 reviews the interactions between nutrients, water supply, pests and diseases, and agronomic practices. Chapter 13 discusses the effects of fertilizers on sugarbeet quality. Chapter 14 covers the nutrient requirements of fodder beet and the beet seed crop.
Root Zone Water Quality Model
Author: Lajpat AhujaPublisher: Water Resources Publication
ISBN: 9781887201087
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
This publication comes with computer software and presents a comprehensive simulation model designed to predict the hydrologic response, including potential for surface and groundwater contamination, of alternative crop-management systems. It simulates crop development and the movement of water, nutrients and pesticides over and through the root zone for a representative unit area of an agricultural field over multiple years. The model allows simulation of a wide spectrum of management practices and scenarios with special features such as the rapid transport of surface-applied chemicals through macropores to deeper depths and the preferential transport of chemicals within the soil matrix via mobile-immobile zones. The transfer of surface-applied chemicals (pesticides in particular) to runoff water is also an important component.
