SUGAR BEET SOWING HAS STARTED IN MOST EU COUNTRIES: SUSTAINABILITY MEANS OPTIMISATION OF ALL FACTORS

A GOOD SEEDBED PREPARATION WILL HELP GERMINATION AND CROP ESTABLISHMENT

SUGAR BEET GROWERS USE SUSTAINABLE METHODS TO PROTECT SUGAR BEET SEEDS AND ROOTS AGAINST PROLIFERATION OF MICE

SOIL FERTILITY CAN BE IMPROVED IF NECESSARY WITH ORGANIC FERTILIZERS, RICH IN MACRO AND MICRO NUTRIENTS

SUGAR BEET GROWERS ARE MANAGING THEIR COVER CROPS IN ORDER TO PREPARE THEIR FIELDS FOR SOWING

SUGAR BEET GROWERS ARE CHECKING THEIR SOWING EQUIPMENT, ESSENTIAL FOR A FAST AND OPTIMUM EMERGENCE OF SUGAR BEET

A GOOD SOIL STRUCTURE CAN BE OBTAINED BY DECREASING THE WEIGHT OF MACHINE AND / OR THE SURFACE OF THE TIRES

A GOOD SOIL pH CAN BE OBTAINED WITH LIMESTONE AMENDMENTS WITH SLOWER ACTION LIKE SCUM OR CRUSHED LIMESTONE

SUGAR BEET GROWERS ARE CHECKING THE SOIL pH OF THEIR FIELDS AND TAKING REMEDIAL ACTION (LIMING) IF NECESSARY

MORE & MORE BEET SEED IS PRIMED/ ACTIVATED SO THAT SEEDLINGS EMERGE FASTER, DEVELOP A GOOD ROOT SYSTEM EARLY & GROW FASTER

WITH THE START OF 2017 SOWING LESS THAN A MONTH AWAY, BEET SEED IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING DELIVERED/COLLECTED BY GROWERS

EU BEET SUGAR FACTORIES RUN 24/7 DURING THE CAMPAIGN PERIOD, INCLUDING ON CHRISTMAS, BOXING DAY AND NEW YEAR!

THE CAMPAIGN IS IN FULL SWING! DID YOU KNOW THAT BEET PULP IS FULLY VALORIZED AS ANIMAL FEED / BIOENERGY FEEDSTOCK?

2016-17 BEET PROCESSING CAMPAIGN HAS STARTED!

SOIL PREPARATION BEFORE BEET SOWING IN SOUTH GERMANY

South German beet growers increasingly prepare mulch to enhance organic matter and prevent soil erosion.

DID YOU KNOW THAT TODAY 90% OF BEET AREA IN FRANCE IS PRECEDED BY COVER CROPS LIKE MUSTARD?
