replications. The results of the comparison test T-Test preference fodder beet
cultivation in the autumn compared with winter, but by a small percentage in
most of the quality traits. The results also showed that the monogerm variety
Vermon was the best in most of the quality traits as compared with the other
varieties, followed by Starmon. It was recomended to cultivate fodder beet in
both autumn and winter under Al Raqqa conditions, but after conducting a
complementary researches concerns the other agricultural treatments as, lifting
time, plant spacing, fertilization …etc, and to test more monogerm and
multigerm varieties from different sources.
