Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Raising K from 48 to 72 kg K2O/fed increased top and root fresh and dry weights.
- Intervention effect Raising K from 48 to 72 kg K2O/fed increased sucrose content, sugar recovery and recoverable sugar yield.
- Intervention effect Raising K from 48 to 72 kg K2O/fed increased Fe, Mn and Zn contents.
- Association Recoverable sugar percentage increased as K level increased.
- Association Potassium fertilization at 72 kg K2O/fed significantly increased top yield and recoverable sugar yield.
- Intervention effect Foliar zinc application decreased impurities in sugar beet juice.
- Intervention effect Foliar zinc application increased sugar loss to molasses.
- Intervention effect Foliar zinc application increased sucrose percentage.
- Intervention effect Foliar zinc application had no significant effect on recoverable sugar percentage.
- Intervention effect Increasing foliar zinc up to 150 mg/l significantly increased sugar beet yields in most cases.
- Association The potassium by zinc interaction had a significant effect on sodium content in beet roots in both seasons.
- Association The potassium by zinc interaction had a significant effect on K content in beet roots and sugar losses to molasses in the first season.
- Association The potassium by zinc interaction had a significant effect on top yield in the second season.
