Sugar beet yield

Based on the polynomial model which describes the level of sugar beet productivity in Ukraine within the period of 1913-2012, the prediction of sugar beet yields (Fig. 20.1), which envisages its increase by 14%, was made.

Acetals of L-galactono-1,4-lactone (an abundant byproduct of the sugar beet industry) have thermotropic liquid crystalline properties. Acetalization in DMF containing H2S04 in the presence of anhydrous CuS04 gave (after 12 to 24 h at 40 °C) yields of 20-35% (Scheme 8.27). 

The Russian dandelion, which may contain up to 10% of good quality rubber. The plants are harvested and the rubber obtained in the manner of sugar from sugar beet. It is claimed that the yield per acre approaches that of plantation rubber. 

Currently, ethanol is produced from sugar beets and from molasses. A typical yield is 72.5 liters of ethanol per ton of sugar cane. Modem crops yield 60 tons of sugar cane per hector of land. Production of ethanol from biomass is one way to reduce both the consumption of erode oil and environmental pollution. Domestic production and use of ethanol for fuel can decrease dependence on foreign oil, reduce trade deficits, create jobs in rural areas, reduce air pollution, and reduce global climate change carbon dioxide build-up. 

From 1878 to 1883 Nilson served as professor of analytical chemistry at the University of Upsala, but in his later years he taught at the Agricultural Academy at Stockholm. He found that the sterility of the calcareous moors of his native island was caused by lack of potash. After liberal use of kainite fertilizer, recommended by Nilson, Gothland Island began to yield good crops of sugar beets (6).
