Calculation of CO2eq emissions in sugar beet cultivation using the tool Biograce.
Practice data from 1181 farms were used.
N fertilization is the main source of CO2eq emissions in sugar beet cultivation.
On average, less N2O emissions were produced by using organic fertilizers only.
Sugar yield is independent of the intensity of N fertilization.
CO2eq emissions per t sugar yield between the years were mainly based on differences in yield and not on differences in management.
