This invention discloses a method of increasing the yield of sugar obtained from sugar beets by treating the beet plants with sucrose tri(2-methoxy-3,6-dichlorobenzoate). |
|
DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A method for increasing the recoverable sugar from sugar beets which comprises contacting the sugar beet plants with from about 0.
1 ounce to about 4 lbs.
per acre of sucrose tri(2-methoxy-3,6-dichlorobenzoate) having the formula ##STR2## 2.
The method of claim 1 wherein the sugar beet plants are contacted with sucrose tri(2-methoxy-3,6-dichlorobenzoate) during the period of from about 2 to about 10 weeks before harvest.
3.
The method of claim 1 wherein the sugar beet plants are contacted with about 0.
1 ounce to about 4 lbs.
per acre of sucrose tri(2-methoxy-3,6-dichlorobenzoate) during the period of from about 2 to about 10 weeks before harvest.
Description:
This invention relates to a method of increasing the yield of sugar obtained from sugar beets.
More particularly, this invention relates to a method of increasing the recoverable sugar in sugar beets by treating the sugar beet plants during their growing or maturing season with a sucrose ester of dicamba.
Surprisingly, it has now been found that the recovery of sugar from sugar beets can be substantially increased through the use of sucrose tri(2-methoxy-3,6-dichlorobenzoate) represented by the following structural formula: ##STR1## Accordingly, one embodiment of the present invention resides in a method of increasing the recoverable sugar in sugar beets which comprises contacting the growing sugar beet plant with an effective amount of sucrose tri(2-methoxy-3,6-dichlorobenzoate) at least two weeks before harvest.
The effective compound of the present invention can be prepared by the procedure detailed in the following example.
EXAMPLE 1 Preparation of Sucrose Tri(2-methoxy-3,6-dichlorobenzoate) Sucrose (34.
2 grams; 0.
1 mole) and pyridine (300 ml) were charged into a glass reaction vessel equipped with a mechanical stirrer, thermometer and addition funnel.
The mixture was stirred and 2-methoxy-3,6-dichlorobenzoyl chloride (71.
5 grams, 0.
3 mole) was added dropwise over a period of 8 hours
