Agriculture<\/span> Sugar? From beets, naturally!<\/span><\/h1>\nSugar beet is one of the environmentally most important and valuable plants. We continue to increase its cultivation efficiency and minimise the impact on the natural environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Quality starts in the field.<\/h2>\n
From the very beginning, Pfeifer & Langen has relied on fairness, respect and good relations with sugar beet growers. Some of these relationships have already lasted for a few generations! This long-term approach brings good harvest \u2013 just like our growers get good harvest from their fields during the sugar campaign.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Sugar beet is one of the environmentally most important and valuable plants. Since we are aware that the cultivation is to a large extent balanced by nature itself we attempt to limit soil exploitation to the minimum, to prevent its degradation and protect its fertility.<\/p>\n
As a dicotyledonous plant, sugar beet is cultivated in a crop rotation system, and consequently it helps reduce the amount of chemicals used to fight weeds and pests in other crops. The deep root system of the sugar beet loosens the soil structure thus improving its fertility. Besides, it is able to collect nutrients from deep in the soil, preventing their transport to the groundwater system.<\/p>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>\u2026 almost the entire sugar beet.<\/h3>\n
Among the solutions we apply is the so-called mulch sowing which facilitates water retention and improves soil stability, as well as protects it against erosion. The nutrient-rich soil which is recovered during the beet washing process is returned to the fields. Beet pulp obtained in the course of the production process comes back to the farms and is used as an excellent feed for ruminants.
\nThe competitive sugar beet cultivation is targeted at efficiency improvement and yield increase in a long-term perspective. Owing to our close co-operation with research institutes, universities and sugar beet growers\u2019 associations we continue to increase the efficiency of crops without increasing the impact of the cultivation on the environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>
