The Sugar Beet Crop

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

Abstract

In regions of the world with mild climates (for example most of Western Europe), sugar-beet roots are usually delivered to the factory directly from the field or, after a few days, from small storage piles (clamps).
