Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Raising phosphorus to 30 kg P2O5/fed increased sucrose, extracted sugar and quality index of sugar beet in the 2nd season, relative to the other P levels.
- Intervention effect Raising phosphorus to 30 kg P2O5/fed increased sugar yield per feddan in the 2nd season, relative to the other P levels.
- Intervention effect Raising phosphorus to 30 kg P2O5/fed increased root diameter, root fresh weight per plant and root yield per feddan of sugar beet.
- Intervention effect Raising phosphorus to 30 kg P2O5/fed markedly decreased sugar lost to molasses.
- Intervention effect Increasing boron to 150 ppm increased root fresh weight per plant of sugar beet.
- Intervention effect Increasing boron to 150 ppm increased root and sugar yields per feddan of sugar beet.
- Intervention effect Raising magnesium to 10 g/l increased sucrose, extracted sugar and quality index of sugar beet in both seasons.
- Intervention effect Raising magnesium to 10 g/l increased RFW of sugar beet in both seasons.
- Intervention effect Raising magnesium to 10 g/l increased root and sugar yields per feddan of sugar beet in both seasons.
- Intervention effect Raising magnesium to 10 g/l reduced sugar lost to molasses in the 2nd season.
- Recommendation Adding 30 kg P2O5/fed to the soil plus spraying 150 ppm boron and 10 g MgSO4.7H2O/l could be recommended for economical root and sugar yields and the best quality of sugar beet.
