- Intervention effect Boron foliar treatment at two concentrations increased sugar beet root growth parameters.
- Intervention effect Molybdenum foliar treatment at two concentrations increased sugar beet root growth parameters.
- Intervention effect Zinc foliar application significantly increased N, P, K, Ca and Mg content in sugar beet leaves and roots.
- Intervention effect Boron foliar application significantly increased N, P, K, Ca and Mg content in sugar beet leaves and roots.
- Intervention effect Molybdenum foliar application significantly increased N, P, K, Ca and Mg content in sugar beet leaves and roots.
- Intervention effect High zinc concentration produced the highest sucrose, TSS and purity percentages.
- Intervention effect High molybdenum concentration produced the highest sucrose, TSS and purity percentages.
- Intervention effect High zinc concentration produced the highest sugar and root yields and improved yield quality.
- Intervention effect High molybdenum concentration produced the highest sugar and root yields and improved yield quality.
- Mechanism The authors suggest nutrient uptake and translocation may explain enhanced growth and yield after high zinc and molybdenum treatment.
