BRIEF PARAGRAPHS ON SUGAR BEET

 A sugar beet is a plant that is grown commercially for sugar production and has a high concentration of sucrose in its root. The Altissima cultiva group of the common beet is known in plant breeding (Betavulgaris). It belongs to the subspecies Beta vulgaris subsp. Vulgaris, along with other beet cultivars like beetroot and chard. The sea beet is its closest wild relative (Beta vulgaris subsp. Maritima).




The sugar beet has a flat crown and a conical, white, fleshy root (a taproot). The root and a rosette of leaves make up the plant. Photosynthesis produces sugar in the leaves, which is ultimately stored in the root.

The beet root is 75 percent water, 20 percent sugar (or 18 percent sugar), and 5 percent pulp. Depending on the cultivar and growth conditions, the sugar concentration might range from 12 percent to 21 percent. Sugar beet is primarily used as a commercial crop because of its high sugar content. Animal feed is made from the pulp, which is insoluble in water and mostly made up of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and pectin. The sugar beet crop’s byproducts, such as pulp and molasses, boost the harvest’s value by additional 10%.




Sugar beets are only found in the temperate zone, but sugarcane is only found in the tropical and subtropical zones. A sugar beet’s average weight is between 0.5 and 1 kilogram (1.1 and 2.2 lb). Sugar beet foliage has a deep, vivid green tint that grows to around 35 cm in height (14 in). The broad, many leaves grow in a tuft from the beet’s crown, which is normally level with or just above the ground surface.
A BRIEF AGRICULTURAL IMPORTANCE

Sugar beets play a significant role in crop rotation.

Sugar beet plants are prone to Rhizomania (also known as “root crazy”), a disease that causes the bulbous tap root to split into many little roots, rendering the crop unprocessable. In Europe, strict measures are in place to limit the spread of the virus, but it is already present in some locations. It’s also susceptible to beet yellows virus and beet leaf curl virus, which causes crinkling and stunting of the leaves.



Continuous research is being conducted to find cultivars that have both resistance and enhanced sugar output. Sugar beet breeding research is primarily conducted in the United States at various USDA Agricultural Research Stations, including one in Fort Collins, Colorado, led by Linda Hanson and Leonard Panella; one in Fargo, North Dakota, led by John Wieland; and one in East Lansing, Michigan, led by Rachel Naegele.

UPDATE ON SIDRABANK'S MAINNET MIGRATION

 The mainnet migration is moving along without any problems, and the Sidrabank development team is on schedule to finish it in a week. The team has been putting in a lot of effort to make sure users get the smoothest possible migration experience. They have been immediately answering user inquiries and have been giving regular updates on the status of the migration. The users' understanding and patience during this period is much appreciated by the staff. They are dedicated to finishing the migration as soon as possible and restoring user access to the Sidrabank app. Here are some significant updates on the migration's progress: All user data has been successfully transferred to the new network by the team. As they test the new network, the team is working to resolve any faults they discover. Within a week, the team hopes to deliver the updated Sidrabank app that supports the new network. Users can continue to access their Sidrabank accounts via SidraChain.com in the interim. T...

Ethical and Legal Issues of Surrogate Pregnancy

                       Ethical and Legal            Issues of Surrogate Pregnancy Before getting into the why & how, let's understand what surrogacy means. "Surrogacy is a condition where a woman carries & delivers a child for another person or couple. " It is a convenient way of getting children, especially in celebrities and couples, to have some special disorders.  And artificial insemination is at its peak even in humans. Surrogacy can be of the following 4 types: Traditional Surrogacy:  In this case, the surrogate mother is also the genetic mother of the child. In a traditional surrogacy, the woman conceives via home artificial insemination using fresh or frozen sperms or is impregnated via IUI (intrauterine insemination), or ICI (intracervical insemination) performed at a health clinic. Gestational Surrogacy:  In this case, the mother is genetically not related to the ...

Plastic and Its Effect on Our Health

  Now a day use of plastic is on its peek. We wrap things in plastic wrap. We use plastic bags for a variety of things.Plastic is everywhere. Plastic protects our phones, books, and important papers. Plastic lines the insides of canned food to protect them. Effect  Plastic  on Our Health:  D isrupt our hormones: Plastic has many useful uses not only for our homes but also for important industries. This can cause some of the molecules to break down. All of our exposure to so much plastic is starting to disrupt our hormones.  Excessive "xenoestrogenic": Many types of plastic have excessive "xenoestrogenic" effects. Once we get too much into our bodies, we can begin to notice hormonal imbalances in women and men that seem like too much estrogen.  This can have many negative effects, particularly on fertility, menstruation, growth and development, and overall health and wellbeing. Xenoestrogens disrupt our normal endocrine system and have been linked to breast ...

What is Immune System?

                                      Immune System Our body has a powerful immune system that protects it from various types of threats. These threats can come in the form of mechanical injuries,  entry of germs, or the entry of other foreign particles like dust.  Every day, we encounter a huge number of bacteria, viruses and other diseasecausing organisms.   However, we don't fall ill every other day.   which is due to our immune system an army of cells that is always roaming our body,  ready to ward off any attack.    The immune system can be broadly divided into two parts innate and adaptive immunity.  Innate immunity or nonspecific immunity is the body's first natural defense to any intruder.   This system doesn't care what it's killing.  Its primary goal is to prevent any intruder from entering the body, and if it doe...
