Amalgamated Sugar Co.<\/a> Sugarbeet Quality Improvement (SBQI) team showcases the research they are doing during the summer at the Amalgamated Sugar Research Field Day.\u00a0 Attendees include growers, crop consultants and industry personnel interested in the research SBQI is performing.\u00a0 This year some of the topics the SBQI team is looking at include; an official variety trial, a curly top nursery, variety storage trials, seed treatment storage trial, green manure and cover crops.\u00a0 Trials are essential to the sugarbeet industry so we may continually improve sugarbeet production practices.<\/p>\n

About Amalgamated Sugar Research Field Day<\/h2>\n

Amalgamated Sugar Research Field Day takes place at the research farm next to the Mini-Cassia factory.\u00a0 An Official Variety Trial (OVT) is located on the farm, and other research trials are next to the OVT.\u00a0 Variety trials are used to determine which new sugarbeet varieties that will be allowed to be grown for the cooperative.\u00a0 The Curly Top Virus is a disease affecting sugarbeet production in Amalgamated\u2019s growing region.\u00a0 Amalgamated Sugar uses the curly top nursery to determine which seed varieties are resistant to curly top and is used in conjunction with OVT to approve new varieties.<\/p>\n

Storage of sugarbeets is always a concern for Amalgamated Sugar.\u00a0 One trial focuses on how well individual varieties store.\u00a0 Another trial looks at how bruising affects the storability of sugarbeets.\u00a0 For example, they examine if gentler harvesting methods will improve storage ability and extend the length of time beets store in piles. Another trial tests whether or not combinations of seed treatments can reduce sugar loss during storage and how they store after several months.<\/p>\n

The next topic of interest to growers is the use of cover crops and green manures to reduce nematode pressure and improve soil quality.\u00a0 Varieties of radishes and mustards have been found to reduce nematode populations for sugarbeet production.\u00a0 With chemical control of nematodes are becoming very costly, cover crops are gaining momentum.\u00a0 One item of concern is that growers must be careful not to use radish and or mustard varieties that are known to increase nematode counts.<\/p>\n

Another attraction at the Amalgamated Sugar Research Field was the root pit display. The root pit is an excellent method to display the development of sugarbeets roots and the five-foot soil profile.\u00a0 Depending on compaction and hardpans, the beet roots can grow only to the plow layer or they can go several feet deep. This display is an excellent method for educating growers about soil health and root development.<\/p>\n

The field day event is essential for the success of the cooperative because the research is specific for Amalgamated Sugar\u2019s growing area. \u00a0This event saves valuable time for the growers by providing a “one-stop” field day full of relevant research and educational field displays specific to their region and cultivation practices that can help improve their odds of achieving successful crops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
