“…The sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is one of the most important industrial crops for sugar production [1]. At the same time, its potential productivity remains unrealized because the plants are adversely affected by various stress factors of both biotic (diseases and pests) and abiotic (exposure to high and low temperatures, moisture deficit, pesticide pressing, etc.)…”

A b s t r a c tDiseases caused by pathogenic micromycetes and impact of herbicides lead to lower productivity and quality of sugar beet. Biopreparations based on Bacillus Cohn are promising environmentally friendly agents for plants protection under biotic and abiotic stresses. Meanwhile it is important to search of bioregulators for application on sugar beet and identify the mechanisms of their actions for effective use. This study summarizes the results of analysis of the effect of Bacillus Cohn based biopreparations Fitosporin-M, Albit, Vitaplan on structure of pathogenic mycromicetes complex in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L., cv. KVS) rhizosphere, enzymatic activities in soil and leaves, sucrose content in roots and productivity under pathogenic and herbicides pressing. Evaluations were carried out using classical microbiological, physiological and biochemical methods. It was revealed that Fitosporin-M, Albit, Vitaplan decreased the abundance and frequency of rhizosphere pathogenic species and thus lead to activation of useful microflora. Partilularly, a total of 8 pathogenic micromycetes were found in control of which Alternaria tenuis, Aspergillus niger and Penicillium glabrum, the last two being strong toxigenic isolates, were dominant. After a single treatment with Fitosporin-M only Penicillium glabrum was found in the rhizosphere, in case of Albit there was only P. citrinum, and at Vitaplan application Alternaria tenuis, Aspergillus niger, Fusarium oxysporum, F. solani and Penicillium solitum were identified. In plants treated with Fitosporin-M and Albit, no Black Leg pathogens were observed. After doubled treatment the abundance decreased 1.5-3.0-fold, and the frequency decreased 2.0-4.0-fold compared to control. Catalase activity reflecting intensity of soil microbiological processes exceeded control from 1.4 to 3.7 times after the first treatment with Fitosporin-M and Albi, respectively, and from 1.4 to 1.2 times after the second one. The data on increasing oxidoreductases and hydrolases activities in rhizosphere confirm this conclusion. Also, biopreparations decreased activities of hydrolases in leaves and the activity of their inhibitors indicating induction of protective reactions against pathogens. The maximum values were recorded when Fitosporin-M and Albit were used. The protective actions of biopreparations were also indicated by activation of peroxidase in leaves up to 0.175-0.250 OD 490 per 1 g. Furthermore Fitosporin-M supported a relatively high level after reintroduction indicating a prolonged action on the antioxidant system during vegetation. The positive effect of biopreparations under pathogenic and herbicides pressing was reflected in increasing productivity and sucrose content in sugar beet roots, and the maximum effect was achieved after 2-fold treatment of sowings with Fitosporin-M.

“…En el Campo experimental Río Bravo (Cuadro 1) se registraron temperaturas mínimas durante el establecimiento entre 10 y 15 o C; durante el resto del ciclo hasta cosecha, la temperatura máxima promedio fue cercana a los 30 o C, no se tuvieron registros de temperaturas superiores a 35 o C. En áreas tropicales se ha observado que hay potencial para la producción de azúcar a partir de remolacha, donde las temperaturas máximas son similares a estos valores (Pathak et al, 2014). En estos experimentos se registraron variaciones importantes en la cantidad de precipitación.…”

Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is a source of sugars. In Mexico, trials have been carried out to evaluate adaptation of the crop as a potential source of biomass, sugar and ethanol. Fertilization is a factor that influences production. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of inorganic fertilization on yield and production of soluble solids under irrigation conditions. An irrigation field experiment was established on February 25, 2010 and March 3, 2011, in Río Bravo, Tamaulipas (INIFAP-CIRNE). The variety used was EBO-809 Type N (Normalreich: moderately rich in sugar), with 13 doses of (N‑P) from 150-00-00 to 300-200-00, and the control without fertilization. Urea was the source of (N) and triple superphosphate of (P). Fresh weight (Mg ha-1), chlorophyll index (SPAD), soluble solids (oBrix) and incidence of root rot (%) were evaluated. The factor with the highest statistical value was the fertilization dose (T), explaining 70% of the variance 24% the year (A), and there was no interaction (T × A). Root rot was attributable by Rhizoctonia solani (Kühn), which is negatively associated with yield, due to atypical winter rainfall in 2010. There were no differences between treatments with N-P fertilization. The critical value of N was superior to the control and ≤ to 150 kg ha-1. The concentration of sugars was not related to yield, SPAD or R. solani incidence; moreover, it was inversely proportional to the nitrogen dose.

“…It competes well with sugarcane crop in European countries for production of sugar and ethanol. Sugar beet is mainly cultivated in Europe and in very lesser amount in Asia and North America (Pathak et al 2014 ). Approaches of genetic and agro-technological improvements have now extended its frontiers to higher latitudes of sub-tropics and tropical irrigated winter crop.…”

Sugar beet is an important crop in the advent of COVID 19 as it has a high potential for ethanol production in less growth span. The life cycle of this crop is of five to six months with a root yield of 60–80 t ha −1 and sugar content of 15–17%. Sugar beet is known as a temperate crop of short duration grown in the month of September to October and harvested in April and May, but successful efforts have been made in establishing this crop for Indian agro-climatic conditions. India stands to gain from capitalizing on the potential of sugar beet for sugar, ethanol, and fodder. It offers the increment in the farmer’s income especially hill farmers with respect to seed production of this crop in India The crop has been bestowed with a natural endowment of reclaiming saline soils which will help in cultivating the Indian saline areas. The crop is full of carbohydrates content which is being used for multiple purposes giving value addition to the crop. The green top and, wet and dry pulp are a good source of fodder material for lactating animals like cattle. Beet pulp is another good source as silage feed and as an adhesive in beauty products as well as in printing ink. An amount of 5250 L of ethanol per hectare crop can be produced. Due to 30% galacturonic acid content, the dry beet pulp can also be used as a source of Vitamin C. Lactic acid is also being produced from the juice of sugar beet through fermentation. The pectin content of this crop is useful in paper and board manufacturing industries as a raw material and also in dishwashing detergents and leather production. The fiber content works as dietary fibers which are used in meat and baking industries as important ingredients in food commodities. The vinasse produced as an industrial by-product is useful as a fertilizer. Sugar beet tails and other parts have also been used in biogas production in some countries. Intercropping of this crop with other crops is an added benefit of this crop. New prospects are also available for this crop in pharmaceutical industries and material sciences in times to come.
