Other claims from this paper (16)
- Intervention effect Soil or foliar potassium significantly increased chlorophyll a, b and carotenoids in sugar beet compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Soil or foliar potassium significantly increased root length, diameter and fresh weight per plant compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Soil or foliar potassium significantly increased sucrose percentage, extracted sugar percentage and quality index compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Soil or foliar potassium significantly increased root yield and recoverable sugar yield per feddan compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Soil or foliar potassium reduced sodium content of the root compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Soil or foliar potassium increased the K/Na ratio in the root compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Soil or foliar potassium alleviated the adverse effect of soil salinity on sugar beet.
- Intervention effect Soil K-sulphate at 24 and/or 48 kg K2O fed-1 plus foliar K-silicate at 3 cm3 l-1 significantly increased root yield by 8.19 and 10.24% compared with single soil application in the first season.
- Intervention effect Soil K-sulphate at 24 and/or 48 kg K2O fed-1 plus foliar K-silicate at 3 cm3 l-1 increased sugar yield by 8.83 and 13.85% compared with single soil application in the first season.
- Intervention effect Soil K-sulphate at 48 kg K2O fed-1 combined with foliar K-silicate significantly increased quality index and sucrose% in both seasons compared with single soil application.
- Intervention effect Soil K-sulphate at 48 kg K2O fed-1 combined with foliar K-silicate reduced the impurity index in both seasons compared with single soil application.
- Observation The Gloria variety recorded the highest chlorophyll a, b and proline compared with the other varieties.
- Observation The Gloria variety had the highest root and recoverable sugar yields per feddan compared with the other varieties.
- Observation The Gloria variety had the highest sucrose and sugar extraction percentages compared with the other varieties.
- Observation The Gloria variety had the highest K/Na ratio in the second season compared with the other varieties.
- Recommendation Fertilizing Gloria sugar beet with soil K-sulphate at 48 kg K2O fed-1 plus foliar K-silicate at 3 cm3 l-1 is recommended to obtain the highest root yield and sucrose% and the lowest sodium content in juice.
