Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect July or August defoliation gave minimum sugar beet root weights at harvest.
- Intervention effect Defoliation in August or later gave minimum sugar contents.
- Intervention effect With seedbed nitrogen, August defoliation produced the smallest sugar yields.
- Intervention effect Without nitrogen, July defoliation produced the lowest sugar yields.
- Intervention effect Without nitrogen, root yield was smaller than with nitrogen.
- Intervention effect Without nitrogen, sugar content was usually greater than with nitrogen.
- Intervention effect July or August defoliation lost up to 40% of sugar yield.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen increased yields and recovery from defoliation compared with no nitrogen.
- Intervention effect Partial defoliation in May had relatively little effect on yield.
- Intervention effect Defoliation affected virus yellows incidence differently across years.
