Emergence Of Sugar Beet (Beta Vulgaris L.) From Seedbeds After Glass Waste Deposition On Soil

One part of the collected bottle glass cannot be recycled because small fragments cannot be separated from organic matters and metal residues. One possible way of getting rid of this unrecycled glass is to incorporate it into the ploughed layer of the soil. The incorporated glass fragments will alter the physical state of the soil, particularly the seedbed. In this paper the authors have studied the consequences of such a change in soil physical properties on sugar beet emergence in laboratory experiments and using a model for estimating the effects on emergence under more realistic sowing conditions. The effects of fine (
