Abstract

A simple model to predict seasonal growth in sugarbeet yield is presented. Time from sowing to the 'growth point date' (the date on which a plant contained 4 g sugar) is characterized by a temp. sum. The increase in sugar yield after this date is calculated from incoming solar radiation using an av. radiation use efficiency. Temp. sums and radiation use efficiencies were estimated for the 11 Dutch sugarbeet regions. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)
