Sugar beet pulp is a by-product from the processing of sugar beets into sugar. Beet pulp is extracted grounded sugar beet. It is used as livestock feed and it can be fed fresh, dried and ensiled (fermented beet pulp). Sugar beet pulp is a by-product from the processing of sugar beet which is used as fodder for cattle and other livestock. It is supplied either as dried flakes or as compressed pe...

The influence of salinity on the different polyamine fractions (free, conjugated, and bound) was compared in a natrophilic halophyte (Beta vulgaris L. cv. IC) and a salt sensitive glycophyte (Nicotiana rustica L. cv. Basmas). Low-level salinity (25 mM NaCl) and high salinity (150 and 50 mM NaCl for sugar beet and tobacco, respectively) were supplied in hydroponics. Under low salinity shoot dry ...

Sugar and fodder beet were grown in three years to assess the potential sugar yield for ethanol production in the region. Fresh weight root yields ranged from 70-85 t/ha for sugar beet and 55-136 t/ha for fodder beet. Sugar contents averaged 15% for sugar beet and 10117o for fodder beet resulting in sugar yields of 10-12 t/ha and 5-12 t/ha respectively. Consistently higher sugar yield from suga...

Sugar beet is a species of the Chenopodiaceae family. It is an important sugar crop that supplies approximately 35% of the sugar in the world. Sugar beet M14 line is a unique germplasm that contains genetic materials from Beta vulgaris L. and Beta corolliflora Zoss. And exhibits tolerance to salt stress. In this review, we have summarized OMICS technologies and applications in sugar beet includ...

In Europe, the framework for sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) production was subject to considerable changes and for the future it is expected that sugar beet cultivation might concentrate around the sugar factories for economic reasons. Based on data from a national sugar beet farmers' survey and multi-year crop rotation trials, the effects of cropping interval (number of years in between two sub...

The thermostable enzyme systems produced by the thermophilic ascomycete fungus Talaromyces emersonii cultivated on various carbon sources were investigated for the production of high value products from sugar beet. A broad range of enzymatic activities relevant to cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin hydrolysis were identified in T. emersonii culture filtrates. In hydrolysis experiments conduct...

The use of sugar beet in anaerobic digestion (AD) during biogas production can lead to process upsets such as excessive foaming in fermenters. In the present study, foam formation in sugar beet-fed digestates was studied in foaming tests. The increasing disintegration grade of sugar beet was observed to have a promoting effect on foaming in the digestate but did not affect the biogas yield. Che...

Sugar Beet Nematode (SBN), Heterodera schachtii, is one of the most destructive pests of sugar beets worldwide. It is present in all sugar beet growing areas of Wyoming and is particularly severe in fields located in close proximity to processing plants where sugar beets have been grown the longest. This soilborne, parasitic nematode attacks and destroys the small feeder roots of sugar beet pla...

AIM The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of sugar beet tubers as a replacer to green fodder on production performance and economics of lactating Surti buffaloes. MATERIALS AND METHODS This trial was conducted at the Livestock Research Station, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari. Twenty lactating Surti buffaloes in a changeover experimental design were selected to asse...

BACKGROUND During production of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) seeds in greenhouses, workers frequently develop allergic symptoms. The aim of this study was to identify and characterize possible allergens in sugar beet pollen. METHODS Sera from individuals at a local sugar beet seed producing company, having positive SPT and specific IgE to sugar beet pollen extract, were used for immunoblotting....
