Identification and biological control of microbial rotting agents of stored beets in sugar industry

There is a long period distance between sugar beet harvest and its transport to sugar factory. Sugar beet crop is damaged and injured during harvest and transport which provides a suitable place for various saccharolytic microorganism growths in terms of temperature, moisture, pH and glucose concent...
