Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Timing of fertilizer N at 135 kg/ha did not significantly change sugarbeet root, top or sugar yield.
- Intervention effect Dates of fertilizer N application did not substantially change soil or fertilizer N in sugarbeet tops and roots.
- Observation Fertilizer N recovery in sugarbeet was 47% when 112 kg N/ha was applied for maximum sugar yield.
- Observation Sugarbeet tops contained an additional 105 kg N/ha.
- Observation When applied N was 2.5 times the amount for maximum sugar yield, sugarbeet tops and roots contained almost as much N as applied.
- Recommendation Carefully fertilized sugarbeet has potential for alleviating nitrate pollution of ground water.
