Verbatim
e0“Two field experiments were carried out in Senouris, Fayoum Governorate, Egypt”
e2“Sugar beet Sara multi-germ variety was sown in both seasons”
e1“The results revealed that sugar beet sown earlier on the 15th of September over-passed that planted on 15 October in root length, diameter and fresh weight/plant, leaf area index (LAI), net assimilation rate (NAR), photosynthetic pigments, polyphenol, sucrose%, extractable sugar% (ES), purity% and top, root and sugar yields/fed, while Na, K, α-amino nitrogen, fiber and sugar lost to molasses% (SLM) were decreased”

Other claims from this paper (19)
- Intervention effect Sugar beet sown on 15 September had greater root length, root diameter and fresh weight per plant than sugar beet sown on 15 October.
- Intervention effect Sugar beet sown on 15 September had greater LAI, NAR and photosynthetic pigments than sugar beet sown on 15 October.
- Intervention effect Sugar beet sown on 15 September had greater polyphenol, sucrose, extractable sugar and purity than sugar beet sown on 15 October.
- Intervention effect Sugar beet sown on 15 September had greater top, root and sugar yields per feddan than sugar beet sown on 15 October.
- Intervention effect Sugar beet sown on 15 September had lower Na, K and α-amino nitrogen than sugar beet sown on 15 October.
- Intervention effect Foliar methanol at 20% and/or boron at 1.0 g boric acid/l significantly increased root length, root diameter and fresh weight per plant.
- Intervention effect Foliar methanol at 20% and/or boron at 1.0 g boric acid/l significantly increased LAI, NAR and photosynthetic pigments.
- Intervention effect Foliar methanol at 20% and/or boron at 1.0 g boric acid/l significantly increased polyphenol, sucrose, ES and purity.
- Intervention effect Foliar methanol at 20% and/or boron at 1.0 g boric acid/l significantly increased top, root and sugar yields per feddan.
- Intervention effect Foliar methanol at 20% and/or boron at 1.0 g boric acid/l significantly decreased Na, K and α-amino N contents in both seasons.
- Intervention effect Foliar methanol at 20% and/or boron at 1.0 g boric acid/l significantly decreased fiber and SLM in both seasons.
- Intervention effect Sowing on 15 September with the higher methanol concentrations (10 and 20%) gave the highest root length, LAI, NAR, chlorophyll a, carotenoids and top and root yields compared with sowing on 15 October, in both seasons.
- Intervention effect Sowing on 15 September with methanol at 10 and 20% gave the highest root fresh weight per plant and chlorophyll b in the 1st season only.
- Intervention effect Sowing on 15 September with methanol at 10 and 20% gave the highest sucrose, ES and sugar yield in the 2nd season.
- Intervention effect The interaction of sowing date and boron significantly affected SLM, purity, Na content and root yield in the 1st season.
- Intervention effect The interaction of sowing date and boron significantly affected root length, root fresh weight, chlorophyll a, fiber, α-amino N and top yield in the 2nd season.
- Intervention effect The interaction of methanol and boron levels significantly influenced purity, LAI, NAR and polyphenol in the 1st season.
- Intervention effect The interaction of methanol and boron levels significantly influenced chlorophyll b, Na and K contents in both seasons.
- Recommendation Sowing sugar beet earlier on 15 September, sprayed with 20% methanol and 1.0 g boric acid per litre, is recommended to reach the highest root and sugar yields and the best juice quality.
