Efficacy and function of beet seedlings

Beet, also known as water shield, is a biennial herb, named after its high sugar content. Herbicide is the main drug used after beet seedling, and common gramineous weeds are relatively easy to control. At present, high-efficiency herbicides such as flufenpropathrin, fenpropathrin and chlorpyrifos on the market are safe for sugar beet and can be used after seedling. However, there are relatively few drugs to control broad-leaved weeds. At present, 16% betaine is widely used to control deciduous weeds after beet seedling. This is a compound preparation extracted from sugar beet, which has a good control effect on most broad-leaved weeds in sugar beet field and is safe for sugar beet. The main diseases and pests of sugar beet are damping off, root rot, virus disease, rhizomania, brown spot, liriomyza sativae, Spodoptera exigua, flea beetle and so on. These pests and diseases can be controlled by pesticides with high efficiency, low toxicity and no residue, and generally have no side effects on sugar beet.

Beets can make sugar.

Beets, also known as thick-skinned vegetables, leeks, red cabbage heads, etc. , a biennial herb of Chenopodiaceae, originated from the western and southern coasts of Europe, and was introduced to China and widely planted. This vegetable has strong adaptability and cold tolerance, and is very suitable for growing in soft soil rich in organic matter. In rural areas, many people know that beets can be fed to pigs, and they are named "feed pigs". In fact, beets can still be used to make sugar, which is the main sugar source besides sugarcane. It is estimated that it is also because of this, so it is named "Beet". Beet, as a raw material for sugar production, has a history of more than 200 years, which can be traced back to the second half of18th century. On a global scale, sugar beet is planted as a sugar crop, and the planting area is second only to sugarcane. Sugarbeet has been planted on a large scale in China since 1906, in which the main producing areas are mainly distributed in Northeast China, North China and Northwest China, especially in Northeast China.

Sugar production from beet is a complicated process.

In fact, the sugar produced by beets is the sucrose products that we often eat in our lives, such as white sugar, soft sugar and so on. Its manufacturing process is also relatively complex, simply speaking, it has to go through many processes such as juicing, cleaning, evaporation, crystallization, honey separation, drying and so on. Beets are actually widely used. They can not only make sugar, but also produce methanol, ethanol, glycerol and monosodium glutamate after chemical treatment.

In addition, adenosine triphosphate, chlortetracycline, vitamin B complex and other raw materials for pharmaceutical and light industrial products can also be prepared.
