Sugar beets are an important part of a crop rotation cycle. Sugar beet plants are susceptible to Rhizomania ("root madness"), which turns the bulbous tap root into many small roots, making the crop economically unprocessable. Strict controls are enforced in European countries to prevent the spread, but it is already present in some areas.
Uromyces betae is a fungal species and plant pathogen infecting beet (Beta vulgaris). It was originally published as Uredo betae Pers. 1801 before it was transferred to the Uromyces genus. [2] Sugar beet rust was first described in Canada in 1935,(Newton and Peturson 1943), [3] and then reported in Europe in 1988 (O'Sullivan). [4]
The company Raffinerie Tirlemontoise operates two beet sugar factories in Belgium: The factory in Tienen has a capacity of 12,500 tons of beets per day, Wanze Sugar Factory can process 16,500 tons of beets per day. The latter is fed beet juice by the Râperie de Longchamps, the last operational râperie in the world. Sugar specialties are ...
Altissima Group, [12] sugar beet (Syn. B. v. subsp. v. convar. vulgaris var. altissima) [13] - The sugar beet is a major commercial crop due to its high concentrations of sucrose, which is extracted to produce table sugar. It was developed from garden beets in Germany in the late 18th century after the roots of beets were found to contain sugar ...
A beet sugar factory, or sugar factory, is a type of production facility that produces sugar from sugar beets or alternative plants to sugarcane in making refined sugar. These factories process the beets to produce refined sugar, similar to sugarcane in other regions. The process involves several steps, including washing, slicing, and ...
The action follows an EU court ruling last month that overturned a French policy allowing sugar beet growers to use an insecticide banned by the EU, raising concern of a further decline in beet ...
This limit was about 5–6 km. Therefore, there were a lot of small sugar factories. E.g. in Hainaut Province alone, there were about 90 sugar factories in 1877. [1] As beet contained only about 10% sugar, the idea to split the production process came up. The extraction of the raw juice from the beet would be done in a râperie close to the farm.
The name Raffinerie Nationale du Sucre indigène et exotique was pretentious, but it fit size of the capital of 4,000,000 Belgian Francs, which was huge at the time. [2] The stated goal of the company was the refining of raw cane- and beet sugar, growing sugar beet, and being active in the associated industries. [1]
