Figure 9. As in Figure 6, except for sugar content of beet (blue - %) and HTC (red - mm °C-1),
respectively. The variable HTC is multiplied by 10 in order to fit the data to the graph software.
The linear regression models are also shown, where the red line is the HTC (mm °C-1) and the blue
line is sugar content (%).
