MINAŘÍKOVÁ, Ivana
The Bachelor's thesis deals with changes in technology of planting sugar beet. In the Czech Republic, sugar beet is the most widely used raw material for sugar production since the mid-19th century. The sugar beet production and production of sugar are one of the most important segments of agro-food complex, but nowadays sugar beet is also strategic crop of which feed and fertilizers are being made. It is also a source of renewable energy in the form of anhydrous ethyl alcohol and stillage to be processed in biogas plants. Sugar produced in the Czech Republic has a similar quality to the best producers in the EU. In the last two years, Czech growers achieved yields of about 80 t.ha-1. The yield is constantly increasing, annually by an average of more than two tons. Ploughing has always been a priority during the processing of sugar beet. In the course of time, is rather recomended on heavy soils to use ploughless technology. Nowadays genetically monogerm seed varieties are being used for sowing. The seeds are sown for finite distances by precision seeders. Harvesting is carried out by self-propelled sugar beet harvesters with high-capacity containers. In the Czech Republic there have been only seven still functioning sugar factories, which belong to five major companies. The strongest market position has the company - Sugar mills and Distilleries TTD a.s.
