Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 28))

Abstract

Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) grows wild on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea and in Central Asia. About 40% of the demand for sugar in the world is supplied by sugar beet (Takahashi and Hoshikawa 1989). It is cultivated in the cold regions of the globe and in the temperate zone, where the climate is not suitable for cultivating sugarcane. The main producing countries are the former USSR, the USA, France, Poland, Germany, and Italy. About 85% of world production is from Europe (Takahashi and Hoshikawa 1989).
