Field roots / by F.S. Nowosad ... [et al.].: A12-8/88-1948E-PDF

"The production of field roots such as swedes, mangels and carrots for livestock feeding purposes and growing of swedes for human consumption is of considerable importance in Canadian agriculture. ... This bulletin has been written to answer the numerous inquiries regarding the growing, harvesting, storing, feeding and methods of producing seed of field roots. No attempt is made here to deal with sugar beets, since this crop is confined to certain definite areas and is grown specifically for the commercial production of sugar. Such a crop requires certain special considerations which are too extensive to be dealt with in a bulletin of this kind"--p. 3.
