Early harvest starts before optimum sugarbeet yield and quality are achieved, so practices which increase yield or quality of early harvested sugarbeet are valuable. Nitrogen (N) management is an important component of sugarbeet production that may be a way to improve yield and quality of both early and late harvested sugarbeet. Yield and quality of sugarbeet to three rates of fertilizer N were evaluated when harvested at different dates. The study was conducted under furrow fl ood irrigation from 1992 to 1995 at the Eastern Ag ricultural Research Center in Sidney, Montana. AppJied N was based on a budget that considered residual soil N to 120 cm, N expected to be mineralized from organic matter, and expected yield. Three rates of N, 75%, 100%, and 125% of the recommended N rate (5 kg for each Mg of expected root yield ) were applied in random strips through the field prior to planting by knifing liquid N (28-0-0) between rows. Four harvest dates were the beginning of early harvest, the begin ning of main harvest, a date midway between the first and third dates, and a date near the end of the main harvest cam paign. The lowest N rate usually resulted in greater sucrose content, and greater extraction than the recommended and increased N rates. Economic returns for sugarbeet fertilized with each N rate varied from year to year, but on average, the recommended N rate resulted in greatest income per acre at the earliest harvest date and the latest harvest date, the low est N rate resulted in greatest income at the later date of the early harvest period, and increased N rate resulted in the","PeriodicalId":403165,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sugarbeet Research","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128533981","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}

ABF from cane sugar is caused when a negatively charged cane polysaccharide forms a colloidal network with protein under acid conditions. Our investigations show that isolation and test procedures for saponins, as reported in the literature, are actually for oleanolic acid. ABF from beet sugar is proposed to have a two factor basis: a negatively charged component and a positively charged component interact at acid beverage pH, forming a coacervate and subsequently coagulating into a floc.

Experiments were done to determine if biological control of the pathogen was responsible for the reduced disease severity. Highly susceptible to highly resistant sugarbeet lines were planted in the established nursery and in adjacent fields with no prior history as sugarbeet root rot disease nurseries. In each of 3 years, the disease was more severe at the new sites than in the established nursery. The weight of non-inoculated roots was similar at the two sites. Microbiological assays of soil from the sites revealed no quantitative differences in populations of microorganisms antagonistic to R. solani that were consistent with biological control of disease. Greenhouse experiments revealed no difference in seedling growth as a result of the site of soil origin, andautoclaving of soil did not produce the increase in disease severity that would be anticipated with biological control of the pathogen. Soil analyses of likely disease suppressing edaphic factors revealed no consistent differences between sites. Thus, artificial epiphytotics of crown and root rot caused by R. solani were more severe in new sites than in an established disease nursery, but the reasons for this difference remain obscure.","PeriodicalId":403165,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sugarbeet Research","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129242169","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}

A greenhouse study showed that post planting chlorpyrifos application did not damage sugarbeet as much as similar applications at planting. The lack of differences in sugarbeet injury between the placement of chlorpyrifos in the furrow (T-band) and on the surface indicates that surface applications can cause significant damage. In two field studies we found that insecticide placement was an important factor in determining the potential for insecticide phytotoxicity on sugarbeet. The greatest injury was obtained when chlorpyrifos, fonofos, and terbufos were placed behind the furrow openers and in front of the press wheel. This placement would be the most likely to result in closer association between the insecticide granules and the seed. Both the modified in-furrow chlorpyrifos treatment and the band in front of the press wheel resulted in substantial sugarbeet damage, even at the lower rates. Insecticide bands ahead of the planter unit resulted in intermediate damage. Band applying the insecticides to the rear of the press wheel resulted in the least phytotoxicity. Apparently, the sealing action of the press wheel reduces the contact with the seed and prevents the insecticide from mixing in the upper layers of the soil. Insecticide placement behind the press wheel provided the best protection from phytotoxicity ; however, even this placement did not eliminate the potential for phytotoxicity.","PeriodicalId":403165,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sugarbeet Research","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128346372","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}
