Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Foliar application improved sucrose, extractable sugar, and purity percentages in both seasons.
- Intervention effect Fulvic acid surpassed other humic substances in sucrose, extractable sugar, and purity percentages.
- Intervention effect Fulvic acid surpassed other humic substances in yield.
- Intervention effect Fulvic acid gave the lowest juice impurities among the humic substances.
- Intervention effect Reducing nitrogen fertilization from 90 to 36 kg N/fed significantly decreased measured traits in both seasons, apart from potassium and sodium percentages in the second season.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen at 72 kg N/fed significantly maximized extractable sugar percentage and extractability.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen at 72 kg N/fed significantly maximized root and sugar yields.
- Recommendation The authors suggest using 72 kg N/fed with fulvic acid to increase sugar beet yield and improve quality.
