USDA Sugar Crops Section Records. Special Collections, USDA National Agricultural Library.

Research to improve sugar production began in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Division of Vegetable Physiology and Pathology during the 1890s. By 1926, the section was named the Office of Sugar Plants, Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI). Other name changes and office re-designations occurred as follows: the Division of Sugar Plant Investigations, BPI, in 1931; divisional component of the Field Crops Divisions, Bureau of Plant Industry, Soils, and Agricultural Engineering (BPISAE), in 1946; Field Crops Group, BPSIAE, in 1951; and Sugar Crops Section, Field Crops Research Branch, Agricultural Research Service (ARS), in 1953. This unit was re-designated the Crops Research Division during the 1950s. In 1970, it became the Plant Science Research Division, and in 1972 the research was divided into units located in the regional laboratories of the ARS.
