Although, past research has been critical to improving sugarbeet nitrogen nutrition, continued research is needed to evaluate evolving varieties and management practices. From 2005 to 2010, studies from 14 locations were conducted by agronomists from The Amalgamated Sugar Company and scientists at the USDA-ARS Northwest Irrigation and Soils Research Laboratory to evaluate the effect of N supply (fertilizer N + N in soil) on sugarbeet production in the Pacific Northwest. At each location, the effect of various levels of N supply on estimated recoverable sucrose yield, root yield, sucrose concentration, brei nitrate concentration, and nitrogen use efficiency were assessed. Nitrogen supply significantly affected estimated recoverable sucrose yield for 6 of the 14 locations. For the 8 non responsive sites, the maximum estimated recoverable sucrose yield was assumed to be the lowest N supply. The average nitrogen requirement at maximum estimated recoverable sucrose yield across all site-years was 2.25 kilogram nitrogen per megagram of beet yield and ranged from 1.4 to 3.7. Thirteen of the 14 locations had a nitrogen requirement at or below 2.8 kilogram nitrogen per megagram of beet yield, substantially less than current recommendations of 3.5 to 4.0. Nitrogen requirements can be reduced in the Pacific Northwest sugarbeet production area compared to past recommendations resulting in reduced N fertilizer applications and significant cost savings.","PeriodicalId":403165,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sugarbeet Research","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123071217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined the impact of nitrogen fertilizer rates on changes in processing quality during storage. Based upon averages over three environments, seven fertilizer rates, and two storage intervals (30 and 90 days), each additional 43.2 kg ha-1 of nitrogen fertilizer reduced recoverable sucrose concentration by 5 kg Mg-1.

This study was conducted to assess differences in drought tolerance among a group of genetically diverse sugarbeet hybrids. The study was conducted over three consecutive growing seasons (2008-2010) at the USDA Northwest Irrigation and Soils Research Laboratory in Kimberly, Idaho on a Portneuf silt loam soil (coarse-silty, mixed, superactive, mesic Durinodic Xeric Haplocalcid). Drought tolerance was evaluated by measuring sucrose yield production of six breeding hybrids of Klein Wanzlebener Saatzucht (KWS SAAT AG) and one commercial hybrid (Betaseed Inc.) under six water input treatments. Hybrid drought tolerance was evaluated by linear regression analysis (slope and intercept) of yield versus water input, calculation of a drought stress index (DSI), and comparison of yield potential under full irrigation. The water input treatments were based on a percentage of estimated crop evapoatransipration (ETc). Water input treatments were 125% ETc (W1), 100% ETc (W2), 75% ETc (W3), 50% ETc (W4), 25% ETc (W5) and rain-fed (W6). Irrigation was applied three times a week to meet the desgnated rate. There were significant differences in overall yield potential and in the sucrose yield response to water among hybrids. Greater drought tolerance or greater difference in sucrose yield between hybrids was seen at the lowest water input treatment (intercept difference). Greater drought tolerance was observed for the KWS-05 hybrids compared to the commercial hybrid. Based on these results there exist genetic diversity among existing sugarbeet breeding hybrids.","PeriodicalId":403165,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sugarbeet Research","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117315412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Four cycles of mass selection for low amino-nitrogen concentration resulted in a 29% reduction; whereas, selection for high amino-nitrogen concentration increased the concentration by 50%, compared to the parental source. The line selected for low amino-nitrogen concentration had higher concentrations of two other impurity components, sodium and potassium, and a lower sucrose loss to molasses than the line resulting from selection for high amino-nitrogen concentration.

Split blocks with conventional and strip tillage as main plot treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Within main plots, there were seven treatments (non-inoculated check and six R. solaniAG-2-2 IIIB strains). Regardless of tillage, the roots responded in a similar manner for fungal rot (conventional 8% versus strip 7%), bacterial rot (26% versus 34%), total rot (33% versus 41%), neighboring roots infected (1.7 roots versus 1.5 roots), distance spread (15.7 cm versus 15.0 cm), and the number of dead plants (12% versus 14%).

The effect of tillage method (ST, moldboard plow [MP] system, and chisel plow [CP] system) and N supply (5 levels) on sugarbeet production factors were investigated in Kimberly, ID from 2008 to 2010 on a Portneuf silt loam soil with barley as the previous crop.
