“…Since 1936, the trend has been tow::trd a decrease in sugarbeet sucrose content with an increase in root yield (13,16,18). Concurrent with this trend has been development of mechanical harvesting techniques, introduction of new cultivars, and increased use of N fertilizers (16,18,20). Mechanical harvesting removes less crown tissue (tissue above lowest leaf scar) than does hand-topping, used dur:ng the late 1930's and early 1940's.…”

Over the past 4 decades, sucrose content of sugarbeets (Beta vulgaris L.) has decreased while root yield has increased. Reasons reported include processing of more crown material, because mechanical harvesting removes less crown tissue than hand‐topping methods, and incre ased use of N fertilizer. Our objective was to determine the relationship between N application rate and sugarbeet crown tissue production, and its effects on processing quality of sugarbeets. Reported are the results of two studies conducted in 1975 and one in 1976, each using a different sugarbeet cultivar and seven N rates. Green petiole material was removed before each sugarbeet was sectioned into root and crown tissues for yield and quality analyses. Crown tissue increased linearly as rates of N application increased. Root tissue and recoverable sucrose yields were near maximum when spring soil NO3‐N or soil NO3‐N plus added N reached 200 to 225 kg/ha. At higher N levels, crown tissue yield increased and sucrose content in both root and crown tissues decreased, offsetting any potential benefits from increased whole beet yield. When N was adequate for maximmn sucrose production, crown tissue contributed approximately 20% of the total recoverable sucrose per ha. As N rate increased, sucrose concentration, extractable sucrose per metric ton, and purity decreased whereas Na, K, amino‐N, invert sugar, and imaturity index values increased for both root and crown tissues. Root tissue always had higher levels than crown tissue of extractable sucrose and purity and lower levels of Na, amino‐N, invert sugar, and impurity index. Crown tissue production can be minimized, and processing quality of sngarbeets can be improved by conservative use of N fertilizer.

“…Proper nitrogen (N) management is critical to sugarbeet production due to decreased profits associated with both under-and oversupply relative to crop requirements (Stout, 1960). Under supplying N reduces root and sucrose yields while over supplying N results in decreased sucrose content and increased root impurities further reducing sucrose extraction (Carter and Traveller, 1981;James et al 1971).…”

Field experiment was undertaken during 2005-06 to 2006-07 to study the various agro-techniques for sugar beet cultivation for Northern Karnataka at Agricultural Research Station, Bailhongal, Belgaum district (Karnataka) under irrigated condition. The experiment consisted of 24 treatment combinations comprising of sugar beet dates of sowing and cultivars. Design of the experiment was split plot having date of sowing as main plot and genotypes as subplots. Among the 12 different dates of sowing, higher yield and yield attributes were observed in sowing at October I fortnight compared to the rest of the treatments and between the two sugar beet genotypes, Cauvery recorded significantly higher yield and yield attributes than Indus. Similar trend was followed for quality parameters also. Sowing of sugar beet crop either in winter season or monsoon gave higher yield and sowing in April month was not suitable as it gave very low yields.
