Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Increasing zeolite to 650 kg fed-1 improved leaf area index (LAI), relative growth rate (RGR).
- Intervention effect Increasing zeolite to 650 kg fed-1 improved root fresh weight (RFW), diameter, number of roots fed-1.
- Intervention effect Increasing zeolite to 650 kg fed-1 improved sucrose percent, quality index.
- Intervention effect Increasing zeolite to 650 kg fed-1 improved root and sugar yields fed-1 (ton).
- Intervention effect Extracted sugar percentage increased in the first season.
- Intervention effect Extracted sugar percentage was unaffected in the second season.
- Intervention effect Applying 200 ppm boron gave the highest LAI, RGR.
- Intervention effect Applying 200 ppm boron gave the highest root diameter, fresh weight.
- Intervention effect Applying 200 ppm boron gave the highest sucrose, and extracted sugar (ES %) percentages.
- Intervention effect Applying 200 ppm boron gave the highest root and sugar yields/fed.
- Intervention effect Applying 200 ppm boron decreased K and Na contents.
- Recommendation The authors recommend 650 kg/fed zeolite and 200 ppm boron spray to maximize yields and reduce impurities.
