| Sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L. subsp. vulgaris) is an industrial crop grown commercially as a hybrid, with sucrose refined from the root as the plant constituent of interest. Yield of refined white sugar produced per unit area is a complex trait. Sugar yield is calculated by the root weight times the proportion of root that is sucrose, minus the amount of sucrose lost during processing, often expressed as percent loss to molasses or juice purity. Yields have risen in the last 100 yr from about 10% sucrose and 22.4 Mg ha−1 (10 t ac−1) to 18% sucrose and more than 65 Mg ha−1 (29.3 t ac−1). There also has been a shift in acreage from the western United States (especially California and Colorado) to the northern Midwest (Red River Valley). Although not all of... |

| Sugar beet is an industrial crop, in that it is neither the seed nor the foliage that is the plant constituent of interest – not even the root itself, but rather sucrose refined from the root. For this reason yield is a complex trait, when looking at the amount of refined white sugar produced per area. Yield is calculated by the root weight times the percentage of that weight that is sucrose (usually expressed as percent of fresh weight), but also by the amount of the sucrose that can be extracted from the beet juice during processing (often expressed as juice purity or percent loss to molasses). All three of these components are variable in a population and can be improved through plant breeding. Percent sucrose is positively correlated to the amount... |

| Sugar beet germplasm and commercial check cultivars were evaluated in a commercial sprinkler-irrigated sugar beet field near Rupert, ID where winter wheat was grown in 2006. The field trial relied on natural inoculum for rhizomania development. The seed was treated with clothianidin (2.1 oz a.i. per 100,000 seed) to limit the influence of pests and curly top. The plots were planted on 3 Apr to a density of 142,560 seeds/A, and thinned to 47,520 plants/A on 23 May. Plots were single rows (22-in. row spacing) and 10 ft long. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with eight replications per entry. The field was cultivated on 24 May and 15 Jun. The crop was managed by the grower according to standard cultural practices. The roots... |
