Determining the optimal population density of sugarbeet crops in England
(2011-02)
Eleven experiments were conducted at seven sites in England from 2006 to 2008 to investigate the sugarbeet yield response to plant populations resulting from different seed rates. Experiments were made on loamy sand, sandy ...
Capture and use of solar radiation, water, and nitrogen by sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.)
(2009-05)
Sugar beet is spring-sown for sugar production in most sugar beet-growing countries. It is grown as a vegetative crop and it accumulates yield (sugar) from very early in its growth cycle. As long as the sugar beet plants ...
Using multi-environment sugar beet variety trials to screen for drought tolerance
(2006-02-15)
Drought is a major limitation to sugar beet yield in many rainfed areas. Varieties with increased drought tolerance would improve productivity, but breeding specifically for drought tolerance is time-consuming and expensive. ...
