Comparison of Nitrogen Recommendation Strategies in Northwest U.S. Sugarbeet Production
Introduction Nitrogen (N) management is important in sugarbeet production because it can affect both yields and quality (Stout, 1960; Tarkalson et al., 2016). Under supplying N can reduce yields while over supplying N often results in decreased root sucrose content and increased root impurities which decreases sucrose extraction efficiency (Carter and Traveller, 1981; James et […]
Variety Tolerance to Late Root Rot Complex in the Imperial Valley of California
Sugar beet is planted in the Imperial Valley during September and October each fall and harvested during the April – July timeframe. During the last half of June and all of July, daily high temperatures in the Imperial Valley often exceed 110 degrees F. This extreme heat, in combination with anaerobic conditions following furrow irrigation […]
Managment of New Cercospora Leaf Spot Tolerant Sugar Beet Varieties
Research Objective Evaluate new Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) tolerant sugar beet varieties to determine the appropriate fungicide spray program. Methodology Four similar trials were conducted as randomized complete block with four replications at two sites in 2020 and two sites in 2021. In both years, one site was located near Clara City, MN and the […]
Letter from the Editors
Dear Readers of JSBR, On behalf of the Journal of Sugar Beet Research (JSBR), we are pleased to welcome our new and expanded editorial board for the journal and pleased to announce our new format. We wish to ensure authors that the JSBR will continue to publish peer-reviewed manuscripts. In addition, the journal will now […]
Effects of Sugarbeet Processing Precipitated Calcium Carbonate on Crop Production and Soil Properties
Precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) is a byproduct of sucrose extraction from sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.). Other commonly used terms for PCC are beet lime and spend lime. The PCC is the by-product formed as a result of impurity removal during the purification of the sucrose. Impurities that need to be removed include organic molecules, phosphorus, […]
Cover Crops and Strip Tillage had no Effect on Yield in Production-scale Sugarbeet Fields
Introduction Sugarbeet production in Minnesota is concentrated on flat, fine-textured soils in the Western and Northwestern part of the state, where wind erosion rates are estimated at between 10 and 11.6 Mg/ha/yr (Soil Survey Staff, NRCS, 2015, USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service, 2018, Erosion by State NRI 2017). Standard sugarbeet management practices in Western Minnesota […]
