Entwicklungstendenzen in der Stärke- und Zuckerindustrie in Abhängigkeit vom Rohstoff Teil 5. Zuckerrübe

Development Trends in Starch and Sugar Industries Depending on the Source Material. Part 5. Sugar-beet Performance and competitive power of the sugar-beet as base of the sugar-industry are described with regard to field productivity, energy value and labour requirement. In some respects the plant is compared with the most important starch delivering plants (potato, wheat, maize). Positive secondary effects of sugar-beet growing on land and field management are shown as essentially contributing to the further development and stabilization of the linked economy of the sugar-beet growing farm and the sugar-factory.
