Book excerpt: The United States produces about 1.8 million tons of sugar annually. Approximately 75 per cent of this production is derived from sugar beets. The importance of the sugar beet crop in national and world economy is justification for research effort as a means to more economical production. It is desirable that sugar beet processing be carried out in the most efficient manner. More effective utilization of the sugar beet and its by-products will add stability to the sugar beet industry. For the past 170 years, since Achard found that sugar could be used for human consumption and that pulp might be fed to cattle, sugar processors have made limited use of the non-sugar constituents of the sugar beet. These materials have been disposed of almost exclusively as livestock ration supplements. The non-sugar constituents have been largely responsible for failure to extract all of the sugar from the beet (13). As a result they have been viewed with suspicion by most sugar beet processors. However, recent development suggest that the utilization of sugar beet by-products will constitute a more important phase of the sugar beet industry in the future. At this critical period in the sugar beet industry, it is difficult to overemphasize the need for a better understanding of the chemical constituents of the sugar beet and the effects of various physiological factors upon them. One of the non-sugar constituents of the sugar beet which has recently received attention is glutamic acid. This has been brought about primarily by the discovery that the salt, monosodium glutamate, has an enhancing effect upon the flavor and palatability of many foods. Using the sugar beet as almost the exclusive source of glutamic acid, a new industry (utilizing over 100 tons of beet molasses daily) has developed to manufacture and market this food seasoner (28). Preliminary investigations at the Utah Experiment Station (14) showed that of all the chemical constituents determined, glutamic acid was the most variable. This agreed with earlier work in t

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local (southwestern Ontario and Michigan) sugarbeet production practices have changed to an earlier harvest date (early/mid Sept. vs. late Oct. early Nov.) and increased plant density (114, 800 plants ha-1 at 57 cm vs. 86, 500 plants ha-1 at a row width of 76 cm) using high yielding glyphosate-resistant sugarbeet varieties. In addition, crop consultants have recommended including N fertilizer in a 5-by-5 cm band during sugarbeet planting. Nutrient management is an essential aspect of crop production, and more specifically, in sugarbeet production as quality and root yield are negatively and positively, respectively, influenced by N fertility. Therefore, the effects of these changes in crop production practices on root and sucrose yield, profit margins, N dynamics, and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) were evaluated at two fields in 2013-2015 with two harvest dates. Application rates of 157 kg N ha-1 to optimize root yield but only 12 kg N ha-1 to optimize recoverable white sucrose per tonne (RWST) were observed at either harvest date. Conversely, profit margins calculated using Michigan Sugar Company (MSC) 5-year average payment standards favour an optimal profit margin application rate of 127-136 kg N ha-1 for early and late harvest, respectively. The effect of harvest date and N and P fertilizer placement, source, and timing was not influential on NUE and N loss indicators and a lack of difference between NUE indices and yield slightly favoured the application of N and P in a 5-by-5 cm band at planting together or alone compared to the zero N-P control. Therefore, results do not contradict current industry recommendations; however, there is no compelling evidence to suggest farmers should modify planters to include N fertilizer at planting unless already capable. Further, plant density and harvest date had no influence on N fertilizer requirements tor most profitable rate of N. However, an early harvest resulted in lower root yield, RWST, and N removal from the field. It is therefore recommended that, under current payment protocols, N fertilizer should be applied at rates 27-57 kg N ha-1 greater than the current application of 100 kg N ha-1 and can be applied at the same rate regardless of harvest date or plant density. However, NUE calculations suggest that an earlier harvest may result in higher risk of N losses compared to late, and as such, growers may wish to harvest later or consider implementing N loss mitigation strategies.
