Influence of irrigation and fertilization regimes on the yield and sugar content in sugar beet root crops

Abstract

An analysis of the results of three-year field experience data on the assessment of yield and sugar collection during the cultivation of sugar beets with irrigation and different doses of fertilizer showed that the maximum yield was observed on the option with the lower limit of soil moisture regulation of 70 % HB and the yield increase on this option was maximum and fluctuated in within the range from 39,6 to 42,3 t/ha in relation to the control. Sugar content in the years of research varied within 15,6–17,4 % in 2017, from 17,6 to 18,2 % in 2018 and from 16,6 to 18,3 % in 2019.
