Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Growth reduction in sugar beet was greatest when drought stress occurred early in the season.
- Intervention effect With early drought stress the content of quality-determining non-sugars in sugar beet was highest.
- Observation Sugar beet genotypes differed in sugar yield, but primarily in accumulation of osmotically active substances, under drought.
- Intervention effect Despite re-watering after drought stress, the growth restrictions could not be compensated during growth.
- Intervention effect The transpiration coefficient of the drought-stressed treatments was only slightly different from the control.
- Mechanism The strong effect of early drought stress is attributed to high growth rates, so limited water supply affected yield formation more than at later growth stages.
- Observation Root strength of sugar beet increased from August to November.
- Association Beets with a high puncture resistance of the periderm also had a firm inner tissue.
- Intervention effect Genotypic differences in puncture resistance were not affected by harvest time.
- Association A higher puncture resistance of the beet was related to lower mould growth during storage.
- Observation Sugar beet genotypes with varying tissue strength differed in fiber content (AIR).
- Observation The composition of AIR was stable over sugar beet genotypes.
- Association The number of cambium rings seems not to essentially influence the tissue strength of the beet.
