The three cultivators had diversified their cropping pattern by planting 4 to 4.7 hectares of tomatoes and sugar beets in 2000-2001.
Data are pooled over beets and lettuce because there was no crop by seed meal interaction for either year.
Response by sugar beet to potassium and sodium fertilizers, particularly in relation to soils containing little exchangeable potassium.
The results provide some clear guidelines for developing more productive sugar beet seed production and with better quality.
The first situation is appropriate for crops grown in raised ridges, such as sugar beet, potatoes or cotton.
Sugar-beet production ceases completely after the conversion and the export potential therefore drops to zero.
In commercial practice, sugar-beet seeds are frequently primed, to obtain such characteristics.
This book provides infor mation on the impacts of the cultivation and processing of both sugar cane and beet.
