How will genetically enhanced sugarbeets impact industrial and retail consumers of beet sugar?
Retail consumers will not notice any change in sugar processed from genetically enhanced sugarbeets. Genetically enhanced sugarbeets are processed exactly the same way as conventional sugarbeets. Genetically enhanced plant seed available today offers growers options to convert to no-till and low-till farming practices and to decrease their use of pesticides, reduce labor and allow more timely management of crop production. In addition, the ability to use certain herbicides over the plants results in cleaner products for processors with fewer complications caused by trash or foreign debris. 7. What is the value of genetically enhanced sugarbeets to growers? Herbicide-tolerant sugarbeets enhance weed control, sometimes use lesser amounts of herbicide, offer effective control even when herbicides are applied later, and require fewer herbicide applications than conventional sugarbeets. 8. Is there a possibility that the genetically enhanced sugarbeet plants could spread seeds and create he
