An increasing demand for food together with a growing demand for energy crops result in an increasing demand for and competition over water. Sugar cane, sugar beet and maize are not only essential food crops, but also important feedstock for bio-ethanol. Crop growth requires water, a scarce resource. This study aims to assess the green, blue and grey water footprint (WF) of sweeteners and bio-e...

Weed infestations and associated yield losses require effective weed control measures in soybean and sugar beet. Besides chemical weed control, mechanical weeding plays an important role in integrated weed management systems. Field experiments were conducted at three locations for soybean in 2013 and 2014 and at four locations for sugar beet in 2014 to investigate if automatic steering technolo...

Strausbaugh, C. A., Wenninger, E. J., and Eujayl, I. A. 2014. Control of curly top in sugar beet with seed and foliar insecticides. Plant Dis. 98:10751080. Curly top in sugar beet is a serious problem that is caused by Beet curly top virus and other closely related species and transmitted by the beet leafhopper. In order to find a means of reducing curly top in sugar beet, 15 combinations of in...

The effect of addition of sugar-beet fibre to the diet on sterol excretion from the small intestine was studied in nine ileostomy subjects. A constant low-fibre diet was given in two 3 d periods with and without 32 g sugar-beet fibre/d in random order. Care was taken to minimize bacterial alteration of the ileostomy contents. The addition of sugar-beet fibre increased net cholesterol excretion ...

Broiler chickens were fed on a control diet based on maize or on diets including conventionally-dried (standard pulp) or vacuum-dried (Fipec pulp) sugar-beet pulp at inclusion levels of 23, 46 and 92 g/kg. Diets were fed ad lib. except for half of the chickens fed on the control diet which were fed twice daily at a restricted level. Although not statistically significant, chickens given the 23 ...
