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 […]
Effects of Sugarbeet Processing Precipitated Calcium Carbonate on Crop Production and Soil Properties

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, […]
