“…They were more heavily modified by weather conditions during the study years than by the type of seed. Similar results regarding the technological value of roots under the influence of seed priming were obtained in the study by Mukasa et al (2003).…”

“…The final and most important criterion for the effectiveness of the sugar beet seed priming process is the final root yield and technological white sugar yield. An increase in the latter by 5% has already been shown as a result of extended growing period (Durrant et al 1993, Mukasa et al 2003. It was enabled by the use of primed seeds, which can be sown up to 10 days earlier (Thomas et al 1994).…”

The impact of non-treated and primed seeds on molasses components, sugar content and technological white sugar yield of the same cultivar of sugar beet root was investigated. The study was conducted in 2012–2014 at the Experiment Field Station of Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW in Skierniewice (51°97'N, 20°19'E) in the central region of Poland. The use of primed seeds resulted in a higher technological white sugar yield with higher sugar content and lower content of α-amino nitrogen in the roots. Also, seed priming increased the technological value of the roots by a lower share in the root yield fractions of the root weight less than 300 g, characterized by lower sugar content and a higher content of α-amino nitrogen.

“…This advantage will become even more pronounced under suboptimal emergence conditions. Increases in sugar yields have been reported for primed sugar beet seeds (Draycott 2006;Mukasa et al 2003) as a result of their earlier emergence and thereby their extended growth periods.…”

Sugar beet cultivation is highly dependent on the supply of high quality seed as carriers of specific and requested varietal characteristics. Seed production of the biennial sugar beet is conducted in two main phases: the production of small beet plants (stecklings) in the first year of vegetative growth and seed production in the second year after the bolting and flowering of vernalized plants.Optimal conditions for sugar beet seed production are mainly found in regions with a Mediterranean climate. Parental lines in hybrid seed production are specifically handled to ensure a high level of varietal purity and seed quality. Particular post-harvest processing steps and techniques are well integrated to select seed lot fractions with the best quality and the highest field emergence potential. Additionally, seeds are covered by specifically developed pellets to support their placement in sugar beet fields and to act as carriers for plant protection agents. During the last few years an increasing amount of seeds were also subjected to pre-treatments in order to further improve seed quality characteristics for optimal plant establishment in sugar beet production fields.

“…Selection plays a significant role, but much of this progress has been due to seed crop growth and seed processing techniques and also in protecting germinating seedlings with chemicals delivered via pellet seed. Further improvement of germination traits and in speed of emergence was obtained using seed priming, which is a process of pre-germination (Mukasa et al, 2003). The use of primed seed in Western Europe and in the United States is increasing rapidly and is approaching 100% in areas such as France.…”
