Both swedes and turnips are sensitive to acidity and grow best at pH levels of 6.5. Like mangolds and fodder beet, the full-season turnips and swedes usually follow cereals in the rotation. Turnips can be grown from July to October, or they can be sown in July to provide autumn grazing before the frosts.

The potential of Jerusalem artichoke as a feedstock for ethanol production has been assessed in many countries in recent years. In New Zealand, for instance, Jerusalem artichoke gave the highest potential ethanol yield (calculated from known crop yields and fermentable content) of a range of crops assessed. From three harvests of the tops a year, estimated ethanol production was 78 It-1 and 11,230 1-ha-1. Although fodder beet (Beta vulgaris L.) remains a favored feedstock for ethanol production in New Zealand, Jerusalem artichoke has been recommended for further study (Judd, 2003).

Both diallate and triallate active substances are liquids of medium vapour pressure they must therefore be incorporated into the soil to a depth of about S cm to attain a satisfactory herbicidai effect. They are absorbed mainly through the developing coleoptile, and are used at a rate of 1.5-4 kg active ingredient/ha for the control of wild oat (Avenafatua) and hl ckg ass (Alopecurus mysuroides). Crops tolerant to diallate are root crops, sugar beet, fodder beets, maize, leguminous plants and fruit trees triallate is selective in cereals, wheat and barley (Monsanto,...

Thel iodine concentration of these feeds and foodstuffs further varies with plant species and plant parts. Grains and seeds in Europe store low amounts of iodine (e.g., between 75 and 100 p,g I kg DM), whereas potatoes and leguminous plants store between 100 and 200 pg I kg DM. In Germany, sugar and fodder beets (and their tops) typically accumulate 250 and...

Continuous SSF processes are usually operated in plug flow mode. Such processes will require pasteurization or sterilization of the substrate as it enters the bioreactor, mixing with an inoculum, and at the outlet end of the bioreactor, continuous removal of spent substrate. Such a process was operated on a pilot scale for the production of ethanol from fodder beets by Saccharomyces cerevisiae [81,82]. The bioreactor had a screw within a 4.7 m long and 15.25 cm diameter tube. The screw was rotated intermittently to mix the substrate and move it along the tube. At the front end was a hammer-mill and a pasteurization chamber for substrate preparation and a port for inoculation. New substrate was added, inoculated, and the screw rotated at 12-h intervals, resulting in a residence time of 72 h.

In Britain the main root crops (turnips, swedes and fodder beet) were important feeds for ruminants in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. They gave high yields in unfavourable environments and could be stored for the duration of the winter. Increasing use of silages for winter feeding has reduced the importance of root crops. By 2007 the area in Britain devoted to these crops had declined to 140 000 ha 997 166 000 ha).
