Efficacy and role of beet seedlings
Beet, also known as beetroot, is a biennial herbaceous plant and is named after its high sugar content. Post-emergence medicines for sugar beets are mainly herbicides. General grass weeds are relatively easy to control. Herbicides such as fluopyfenofop, Jingfangneng and Zingwenzade currently sold on the market are safe for sugar beets. Can be used after emergence. However, there are relatively few drugs used to control broadleaf weeds. Currently, the main drug widely used for the control of post-seedling deciduous weeds in sugar beets is 16% beetane, which is a compound preparation of betaine and betaine extracted from sugar beets. It is effective for most sugar beets. It has good control effect on broadleaf weeds in sugar beet fields and is safe for sugar beets. The main diseases and insect pests of sugar beets include blight, root rot, viral diseases, root disease, brown spot, leaf miner, beet armyworm, flea beetle, etc. These pests and diseases can be controlled with highly efficient, low-toxic and non-residue pesticides. Generally there are no side effects on beets.
Beets can be used to make sugar
Beets are also called pachysandra, lettuce, beets, etc. They belong to the Chenopodiaceae family. Sugar beets are biennial herbaceous plants that originated from the western and southern coasts of Europe. , was later introduced into the country and widely planted. This vegetable is also very adaptable and cold-tolerant, and is very suitable for growing in soft soil rich in organic matter. In rural areas, many people know that beets can be fed to pigs, and they name them "pig-feeding vegetables." In fact, beets can be used to make sugar, and they are a major source of sugar other than sugar cane. It is probably because of this that it was named "Beet". The history of sugar beet as a raw material for sugar production can be traced back to the second half of the 18th century, and it has a history of more than 200 years. Globally, sugar beets are grown as a sugar crop, second only to sugarcane in area. The large-scale planting of sugar beets in China began in 1906. The main production areas are mainly distributed in Northeast, North China, and Northwest China, especially the Northeast where the most plantings occur.
Making sugar from beets is a complicated process
In fact, the sugar produced from beets is the white granulated sugar, soft white sugar and other sucrose products that we often eat in our lives. The production process is also relatively complex. Simply put, it requires multiple processes such as juice extraction, clarification, evaporation, crystallization, honey separation, and drying. The uses of sugar beets are actually very wide. It can not only produce sugar, but also produce methanol, ethanol, glycerin, monosodium glutamate, etc. after chemical treatment.
In addition, raw materials for many pharmaceutical and light industrial products such as adenosine triphosphate, chlortetracycline, and vitamin B complex can also be prepared.
