The yield gap in some sugar beet producing countries
(2012-07)
The efficiency of an arable crop production system can be expressed as the yield gap, the difference between the potential yield and the actual yield. The larger the gap, the less efficient the system. One way to assess ...
The yield gap in some beet producing countries
(2012)
The efficiency of an arable crop production system can be expressed as the yield gap, defining the difference between the potential and the actual yield; the larger the gap the less efficient the system. One way to assess ...
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 ...
A meta-analysis of sugarbeet yield responses to nitrogen fertilizer measured in England since 1980
(2009-06)
The data from 161 experiments testing the response of sugarbeet yield to nitrogen fertilizer were assembled in a database. Three commonly used N response models (Mitscherlich, linear plus exponential and bilinear) were ...
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 ...
