Achard claimed that, shortly after his first publication, representatives of cane sugar refineries offered him considerable sums of money to recant his findings. He refused to do so (Deerr, 1949; 1950). After only a few years of commercial sugar production Achard suffered a great misfortune. His small factory, erected with so much personal involvement, burned down completely in 1807. His financial resources were stretched in reconstructing the building (Fig. 3) and from then on he was in constant economic difficulties trying to replace machinery and carrying out makeshift repairs.

Work on resistant varieties, biological control and pesticide seed treatments will all help to reduce or dispense completely with use of pesticide sprays. By-products of the crop (tops, insoluble root material and molasses) are extensively used as animal feeds (and, to a small degree, in human dietary fibre), in contrast with sugar cane, where the principal byproduct (bagasse) is used as a fuel in the factory (see Chapter 17).
However, the continuous diffusion process was subsequently developed into working technology by Julius Robert in around 1860. So, while the basic discoveries were made in Germany, the practical development of the beet sugar industry on the European continent in the early nineteenth century took place in France, not least as a result of French government industrial policy. It was not until the 1830s that beet sugar factories were again built in Germany. These made use of the improved methods of sugar extraction that had been developed in France.
