The book is dedicated to Beta maritima, a single species of the genus Beta and progenitor of various cultivated relatives known as sugar beet, garden beet, mangold, fodder beet and energy beets. Importantly, B. maritima is closely related to sugar beet, the only crop for sucrose production under temparate climate conditions and a crop with high potential for sustainable energy. The book is divided into eight chapters with multiple subheadings, each highlighting different aspects of B. maritima. In general, the book is well illustrated with many figures printed in colour.
