Book Synopsis Plant Density, Harvest Date, and Fertilizer Impact on Sugarbeet (Beta Vulgaris L.) Root and Sucrose Yield, N Dynamics, and Profit Margins by : Amanda DeBruyn
Download or read book Plant Density, Harvest Date, and Fertilizer Impact on Sugarbeet (Beta Vulgaris L.) Root and Sucrose Yield, N Dynamics, and Profit Margins written by Amanda DeBruyn and published by . 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.

Download or read book Genetically Engineered Crops written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-01-28 with total page 607 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genetically engineered (GE) crops were first introduced commercially in the 1990s. After two decades of production, some groups and individuals remain critical of the technology based on their concerns about possible adverse effects on human health, the environment, and ethical considerations. At the same time, others are concerned that the technology is not reaching its potential to improve human health and the environment because of stringent regulations and reduced public funding to develop products offering more benefits to society. While the debate about these and other questions related to the genetic engineering techniques of the first 20 years goes on, emerging genetic-engineering technologies are adding new complexities to the conversation. Genetically Engineered Crops builds on previous related Academies reports published between 1987 and 2010 by undertaking a retrospective examination of the purported positive and adverse effects of GE crops and to anticipate what emerging genetic-engineering technologies hold for the future. This report indicates where there are uncertainties about the economic, agronomic, health, safety, or other impacts of GE crops and food, and makes recommendations to fill gaps in safety assessments, increase regulatory clarity, and improve innovations in and access to GE technology.

Book Synopsis Non-Chemical Weed Control by : Khawar Jabran
Download or read book Non-Chemical Weed Control written by Khawar Jabran and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2018-01-03 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-Chemical Weed Control is the first book to present an overview of plant crop protection against non-food plants using non-chemical means. Plants growing wild—particularly unwanted plants found in cultivated ground to the exclusion of the desired crop—have been treated with herbicides and chemical treatments in the past. As concern over environmental, food and consumer safety increases, research has turned to alternatives, including the use of cover crops, thermal treatments and biotechnology to reduce and eliminate unwanted plants. This book provides insight into existing and emerging alternative crop protection methods and includes lessons learned from past methodologies. As crop production resources decline while consumer concerns over safety increase, the effective control of weeds is imperative to insure the maximum possible levels of soil, sunlight and nutrients reach the crop plants. Allows reader to identify the most appropriate solution based on their individual use or case Provides researchers, students and growers with current concepts regarding the use of modern, environment-friendly weed control techniques Presents methods of weed management—an important part of integrated weed management in the future Exploits the knowledge gained from past sustainable weed management efforts

Download or read book Beta maritima written by enrico biancardi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-12-07 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Along the undisturbed shores, especially of the Mediterranean Sea and the European North Atlantic Ocean, is a quite widespread plant called Beta maritima by botanists, or more commonly sea beet. Nothing, for the inexperienced observer's eye, distinguishes it from surrounding wild vegetation. Despite its inconspicuous and nearly invisible flowers, the plant has had and will have invaluable economic and scientific importance. Indeed, according to Linnè, it is considered "the progenitor of the beet crops possibly born from Beta maritima in some foreign country". Recent molecular research confirmed this lineage. Selection applied after domestication has created many cultivated types with different destinations. The wild plant always has been harvested and used both for food and as a medicinal herb. Sea beet crosses easily with the cultivated types. This facilitates the transmission of genetic traits lost during domestication, which selection processes aimed only at features immediately useful to farmers and consumers may have depleted. Indeed, as with several crop wild relatives, Beta maritima has been successfully used to improve cultivated beet’s genetic resistances against many diseases and pests. In fact, sugar beet cultivation currently would be impossible in many countries without the recovery of traits preserved in the wild germplasm. Dr. Enrico Biancardi graduated from Bologna University. From 1977 until 2009, he was involved in sugar beet breeding activity by the Istituto Sperimentale per le Colture Industriali (ISCI) formerly Stazione Sperimentale di Bieticoltura (Rovigo, Italy), where he released rhizomania and cercospora resistant germplasm and collected seeds of Mediterranean sea beet populations as a genetic resource for breeding and ex situ conservation. Retired since 2009, he still collaborates with several working breeders, in particular, at the USDA Agricultural Research Stations, at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Science (CAAS), and at the Athens University (AUA). He has edited books, books chapters and authored more than 150 papers. Dr. Lee Panella is a plant breeder and geneticist with the USDA-ARS at Fort Collins, Colorado. He earned his B.S. in Crop and Soil Science from Michigan State University, an M.S. in Plant Breeding from Texas A&M University, and a Ph.D. in genetics from the University of California at Davis. His research focus is developing disease resistant germplasm using sugar beet wild relatives. He is chairman of the USDA-ARS Sugar Beet Crop Germplasm Committee and has collected and worked extensively with sea beet. Dr. Robert T. Lewellen was raised on a ranch in Eastern Oregon and obtained a B.S. in Crop Science from Oregon State University followed by a Ph.D. from Montana State University in Genetics. From 1966 to 2008 he was a research geneticist for the USDA-ARS at Salinas, California, where he studied the genetics of sugar beet and as a plant breeder, often used sea beet as a genetic source to produce many pest and disease resistant sugar beet germplasm and parental lines, while authoring more than 100 publications.
