Leaf beet and chard are known by a confusing range of names. The former has large, midgreen leaves the latter tends to have a dark green glossy leaf with a wide, prominent...

These crops are relatively trouble-free, although some tend to bolt in adverse conditions. Beet leaf miner (see above andp.323) has little effect on beets, but it can spoil leaf beet and chard. Downy mildew can be a problem on young spinach when the air is moist. 

SuscoptiMo plants Beans, leaf beet and chard, poppy, nasturtium, and other ornamentals. Winter hosts euonymus (spindle), philadelphus, and viburnum. 

LPC Product Quality. Table 10 gives approximate analyses of several LPC products. Amino acid analyses of LPC products have been pubhshed including those from alfalfa, wheat leaf, barley, and lupin (101) soybean, sugar beet, and tobacco (102) Pro-Xan LPC products (100,103) and for a variety of other crop plants (104,105). The composition of LPCs varies widely depending on the raw materials and processes used. Amino acid profiles are generally satisfactory except for low sulfur amino acid contents, ie, cystine and methionine.

Untreated control samples were fortified with mepronil. The fortification levels were 0.05-0.25 mg kg for plant materials and 0.005-0.05 mg kg for soil. The following recoveries were obtained 93-95% from rice grain 93-99% from rice straw 86-96% from grape 99-103% from leek 90-110% from lettuce 96-106% from sugar beet (root) 92-100% from sugar beet (leaf) 91-96% from kidney beans 96-100% from string beans and 86-98% from soil. The limit of detection is 0.005 mg kg for plant samples, except for rice straw and soil materials, and 0.01 mg kg for rice straw. 

Details of preparation and storage conditions for crops that last well through the winter are given here (seepanel, left). Some other crops can also be stored for shorter periods for example, carrots, parsnips, beets, rutabagas, and celeriac keep well if packed in moist sand or fine leaf mold in shallow trays or boxes. 

Bystrum et al. first described morphologic changes in leaf surface waxes of table beet exposed to photochemical oxidants these changes were different from those associated with aphid feeding. Comparison of oxidant injury with that produced by insects has since received attention from Hibben, who found that ozone injury to the leaves of four tree species produced smaller flecks, randomly spaced and darker than fleck injury along veins induced by a mesophyll-feeding leafhopper. 

One ISR-promoting PGPR product temporarily approved for use by the USEPA was Bacillus mycoides isolate J [61], a strain of a ubiquitous soil microorganism. This PGPR was once approved for experimental use in 2006 for controlling Cercospora leaf spot (Cercospora beticola) on sugar beets, but the approvals have since expired. To date,... 

Uses Disulfoton is a yellowish oil. It is grouped by the USEPA under RUP and therefore must be handled by qualified and trained applicators. Disulfoton is a selective systemic insecticide and acaricide. It is specifically effective against sucking insects and is used to control aphids, leafhoppers, thrips, beet flies, spider mites, and coffee leaf-miners. Disulfoton products are used on cotton, tobacco, sugar beets, cole crops, com, peanuts, wheat, ornamentals, cereal grains, and potatoes.28... 

The ability of plants to degrade SeMet to the DMSe is strongly species-dependent and represents a detoxification mechanism. However, Se volatilization may also result in losses of Se from food crops, aggravating Se deficiency in low-Se regions. Rice, broccoli and cabbage volatilized at the highest rates (200-350 pig Se/m2 leaf area per day) and sugar beet, bean, lettuce and onion volatilized at lowest rates (Terry et al., 1992).
