The Sugar Beet Crop

Part of the book series: World Crop Series ((WOCS))

Abstract

Diseases have played an extremely important role in the current distribution of the beet sugar industry. The sugar-beet crop, a product of science, has largely depended for its success upon the ability of science to control destructive plant diseases.
