Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Increasing the irrigation interval from 8 to 14 and 20 days significantly reduced sugar beet yield.
- Intervention effect With a 14-day irrigation interval, spraying K-silicate at 1000 mg/L gave a root fresh yield of 51.65 Mg/ha versus 38.81 without spraying.
- Intervention effect Spraying K-silicate at 1000 mg/L increased N removal in shoot by 66.0 kg/ha (64.6 without spraying).
- Intervention effect Spraying K-silicate at 1000 mg/L increased P removal in shoot by 15.5 kg/ha (14.2 without spraying).
- Intervention effect Spraying K-silicate at 1000 mg/L increased K removal in shoot by 134.2 kg/ha (122.6 without spraying).
- Intervention effect Spraying K-silicate at 1000 mg/L increased N removal in root by 152.0 kg/ha (128.4 without spraying).
- Intervention effect Spraying K-silicate at 1000 mg/L increased P removal in root by 34.4 kg/ha (29.0 without spraying).
- Intervention effect Spraying K-silicate at 1000 mg/L increased K removal in root by 244.2 kg/ha (223.1 without spraying).
- Intervention effect At a 14-day irrigation interval, K-silicate spraying raised partial factor productivity of N fertilizer to 861 from 647 kg root per kg fertilizer.
- Intervention effect At a 14-day irrigation interval, K-silicate spraying raised partial factor productivity of P fertilizer to 1666 from 1252 kg root per kg fertilizer.
- Intervention effect The authors suggest that spraying K-silicate can alleviate the negative effects of drought stress on sugar beet yield in calcareous soils.
