    Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) Network projects on developing agro-techniques for Tropicalized Sugar beet in India
    Title: Effects of dates of sowing and varieties in winter season on yield and quality of sugar beet
    Conclusions: Significantly higher germination % was recorded in November 1st fortnight compared to 2nd fortnight. The variety HI 0064 was superior with regard to root yield as well as pol % root.

    Title: Effects of nitrogen levels on yield and quality of sugar beet in winter season
    Conclusions: The application of Nitrogen @120Kg/ha recorded significantly superior root yield over rest of the nitrogen levels.

    Title: Scheduling of irrigation for varieties of sugar beet grown in winter season
    Conclusions: The irrigation level at 75 mm CPE produced significantly higher root yield over the 60 mm CPE and 50 mm CPE, respectively.

    Title: Effect of dates of sowing and varieties in summer season on yield and quality of sugar beet crop
    Conclusions: Variety Posada recorded significantly superior germination. Dorotea and IISR Comp-1 were at par and significant over LS-6 & HI0064. The interaction between dates of sowing and varieties were found to be non-significant.

    Title: Effect of methods of sowing and intra row spacing on yield and quality of sugar beet
    Conclusions: The flat bed sowing at 0.50 m row to row and 20 cm intra row spacing found suitable for getting higher beet and sugar yield in HI 0064 in winter sown crop.

    Title: Varietal trial on sugar beet hybrids (5 hybrids)
    Conclusions: At 180 DAS maximum pol, brix, purity and gross sugar were obtained in HI 0064, which was reduced if harvested before and after 180 days (i.e. at 150 & 210 days after sowing).

    Title: Preliminary varietal evaluation of sugar beet hybrids (24 hybrids)
    Conclusions: IN- 06 and IN- 13 found superior in regard to growth, yield and quality parameters.

    Title: Effect of methods of sowing and Tropicalized sugar beet varieties on yield and quality of sugar beet (summer)
    Conclusions: The sugar beet crop sown on a raised bed at 0.40 m row distance with a variety, HI0064 found most suitable for achieving the good growth, yield and quality of sugar beet in summer season.

    Title: Integrated nutrient management in sugar beet
    Conclusions: The maximum root & foliage wt., root yield, pol and purity was obtained with application of FYM @ 10 t/ha + recommended dose of NPK (120:60:60 Kg/ha).

    Title: Integrated weed management in sugar beet
    Conclusions: The minimum weed count and weed dry matter along with maximum germination, root & foliage wt., No. of roots, root yield, pol and purity was obtained in the pre emergence spray of Rifit @ 2Kg a.i./ha + one manual weeding at 30 DAS.

    Title: Advanced varietal trial on sugar beet hybrids (6 hybrids)
    Conclusions: Sugar beet varieties HI 0064 and LS- 6 noticed suitable in winter season considering the yield and quality attributes.

    Title: Preliminary varietal evaluation of sugar beet hybrids (34 hybrids)
    Conclusions: Amongst the new hybrids, IN- 06 and IN- 13 have noticed superior in regard to growth, yield and quality parameters.

    Title: Varietal trial for screening of sugar beet hybrids against diseases (28 hybrids)
    Conclusions: SYT- 04 and SYT- 07 were noticed superior in regard to growth, yield and quality parameters in new hybrids of sugar beet.

    Title: To workout the cost of sugar beet cultivation and its economics under different cropping systems of the area
    Conclusions: The sugar beet cultivation cost amounts to RS. 38491.00/ha (Rs. 15576.00/acre). Considering the average yield of HI0064 as 85 t/ha and sugar beet price as Rs. 850/tonne the B:C ratio of sugar beet comes to 1:1.86.

    Title: Confirming the package of practices for sugar beet cultivation for Tropicalized region in winter season
    Conclusions: Sugar beet crop sown in the 1st fortnight of Oct. with application of 10 t. FYM and 120:60:60 Kg. NPK/ha found excellent. Weed control by pre emergence spray of Rifit @ 2 Kg a.i./ha + one manual weeding at 30 DAS. HI 0064 recorded the maximum yield, pol and purity.

    Sugar Development Fund (SDF) sugar beet pilot plant

    Title of the project: Establishment of sugar beet cultivation and pilot plant for processing of sugar beet (100 TBD) in conjucture with existing sugar factories.
    Conclusions: During the three years of the project period 121, 109 and 112 acres sugar beet was sown in the operational area of Samarth SSK, Dist. Jalna from which 873, 361 and 630 tonnes of sugar beet has been processed with average sugar recovery 11.72%.

     
    Sponsored Non-Govt. Agencies Sugarbeet Research Programs
    SESVanderHave, Belgium
    Title: Assessment of optimum sowing and harvesting months for sugar beet cultivation in Maharashtra
    Conclusions: Work of recording observations from 2nd years trials is in progress.

    Title: Performance of the sugar beet varieties under five different agro-climatic zones and soil types in Maharashtra
    Conclusions: Work of recording observations from 2nd years trials is in progress.

    STRUBE SAAT GmbH & Co. KG, Germany
    Title: Performance evaluation of different sugar beet varieties / hybrids under varied Agro-climatic regions of Maharashtra, India
    Conclusions: Work of recording observations from trials is in progress.

    J. K. seeds, Hydrabad, India
    Title: Performance evaluation of sugar beet varieties / hybrids in Central Maharashtra

    Conclusions: Work of recording observations from trials is in progress.
