ASSBT Members
The Savitsky
Memorial Award is among the most prestigious awards in the sugar
industry. This award
memorializes the contributions of Viacheslav and Helen Savitsky for
their discovery and development of the monogerm gene in sugarbeets.
This discovery has provided for the near-elimination of field
