Effect of Some Cultural Treatments on Productivity and Technological Traits of Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) in the Central Region of syria


Abstract in English

The research was carried out at Agricultural Scientific Research Center of Hama in tow season 2010/2011. Aiming to evaluate the effect of nitrogen fertilization and planting date on some Productive and Technological characters of sugar beet Mono germ(Simper cultivar) and Multi germ (HM10 cultivar). Results showed an effect of fertilization on productive and technological characters of sugar beet. Increasing the rate of nitrogen fertilizer to 250kg N.ha¹ caused a significant increase in root yield and actual sugar yield (12.88 , 12.15 ton . ha¹) respectively, but it badly affected the sugar content in the roots, juice polarity and juice purity (14.68, 15.95, 80.45%) respectively. Mono germ Simper was found significantly superior compared to Multi germ HM10 in root yield, Brix, root sugar content and juice polarity. Results showed that planting date 1/11 was found significantly superior compared to dates 1/10, 15/10 for root yield, Brix, juice purity, actual sugar yield. In conclusion, Simper (Mono germ) was suitable in planting date 1/11 at nitrogen level of (200-250kg N.ha¹).
