Notizen:
Summary Losses and costs during and after harvesting of sugar beets can be reduced by modifying the traditional shape of the roots. Crosses have been made between sugar beets and globe-shaped red table beets, and selection for root shape and sugar content was carried out in the progenies. The root yield of the selected material is equal to that of commercial varieties. The sugar content is still too low and the contents of juice impurities too high, but further selection can improve the material in these respects. The amount of dirt tare can be 40–60% less than that of the control variety.
