FACTORS AFFECTING THE GERMINATION AND ESTABLISHMENT OF MONOGERM SUGAR BEET

2.5.3    Conclusion

In this review, sugar beet establishment has been shown to be the "weak link" in the production of high sugar yields.  The various alternatives for all stages from seed production to establishment all have too many drawbacks to use in practice.  The following experimental section is principally concerned with methods of testing and improving the laboratory performance of beet seed, which may result in better field establishment and higher yields.
