	Sugar beet crop — an alternate to cane -DAWN - Business; October 09, 2006
		Sugar beet can be grown in lower Sindh where climate is more favourable than in the Punjab, particularly in the last stage of maturity.
		The data of a sugar mill in the NWFP reveals that the cost of sugar made from beet is dearer by about Rs4 per kg because of the non-availability of bagasse.
		Sugar beet is a Rabi crop and therefore it impacts production of wheat and oilseed crops as it competes with these crops for land and water.

	MHAL - Sweet Success . . . The Story of Michigan's Beet Sugar Industry, 1898 - 1974 - Background Reading
		Although the cultivation of sugar beets and factory locations during this early period were widespread throughout the state, the primary activity for the industry was in the southern two-thirds of the Lower Peninsula.
		The number of beet producing counties was stable at nineteen for most of the period, and the locations and ownership of the five beet sugar factories remained unchanged from the late 1950s.
		Regarding the state's sugar beet farmers in particular, the declining number of farms, beet producing counties and acreage devoted to sugar beet production,were met with significant increases in yields per acre and greater acreage harvested per farm.

		The sugar beet is directly related to the beetroot, chard and fodder beet all descended by cultivation from the Sea Beet.
		The sugar beet harvester chops the leaf and crown (which is high in non-sugar impurities) from the root, lifts the root, and removes excess soil from the root in a single pass over the field.
		Although beets have been grown as vegetables and for fodder since antiquity (a large root vegetable appearing in 4000-year old Egyptian temple artwork may be a beet), their use as a sugar crop is relatively recent.

		With the further development of the beet and its manufacture, and with the increased population in the territory, a renewed attempt was made in the 1880s.
		Sugar would be available for humans, the plants' tops, pulp, and molasses were fed to animals, and the roots remained in the soil to enrich and condition it.
		Since the sugar was a mixture of water, sunshine, and air, the beet took nothing from the soil that was not returned in the form of manure from the animals that ate its by-products.

	U.S. Sugar Beet Farming—How “Sweet” Is It? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		U.S. sugar beets are generally grown in areas with cooler climates; the Red River Valley (in western Minnesota and eastern North Dakota) is the largest and fastest-growing sugar beet-producing region, accounting for nearly half of U.S. total beet acreage in 2000.
		U.S. sugar beet producers incurred operating costs (inputs, hired labor, etc.) averaging $18.37 per ton of sugar beets in 2000; and total costs (including depreciation in farm machinery, value of land and operator labor) averaged $37.30 per ton.
		With the 2000 diversion program providing nearly three-quarters of producers an average of $44 worth of sugar per planted acre, 89 percent of producers were able to cover their operating costs and 43 percent were able to cover their total (economic) costs of sugar beet production.

	Sugar Beet Nematodes in Idaho and Eastern Oregon
		However, in contrast, the sugar beet cyst nematode can parasitize a number of field crops and vegetables such as red table beet, broccoli, radish, Brussels sprouts, mustard, kohlrabi, and rapeseed, and weeds such as chickweed, nightshade, and goosefoot, among others (Table 1).
		Planting sugar beet as early as possible when soil temperatures are low (50-55° F) should help the crop become established and escape economic damage before the rate of nematode hatching, movement, and invasion increases as soil temperature increases.
		For example, the economic threshold for the sugar beet cyst nematode in the Magic Valley of southern Idaho is three eggs and larvae per 1 cubic centimeter (cc) soil.

	GM sugar beet study deception
		The variety of herbicides used in sugar beet rotations normally mean that resistance is unlikely to occur, but this risk should still be remembered when choosing herbicides for the beet crop, especially for control of grass weeds such as fl-grass or wild-oats.
		There is no data relating to numbers of aphid predators on the sugar beet (unlike the later weed data), so it is not apparent what effect the different herbicide regimes have on this aspect.
		In fact the opposite appears to be true as far as beet aphid numbers were concerned on 19th and 29th of June (the only dates for which data is provided) in the very glyphosate regime most likely to be used by farmers in practice because of its crop yield implications (glyphosate 1).
