Verbatim
e0“impurities concentration (i.e. Na, K and α- amino N) was higher under fixed sprinkler than center pivot irrigation system”
e1“sugar beet grown under center pivot irrigation system produced higher values of quantitative yield indices at 190 days after sowing including, root length (cm), root diameter (cm), root fresh weight (g plant-1), and root yield (Mg fed-1) compared to sprinkler irrigation system”

Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Center pivot irrigation raised sugar beet root growth and yield indices versus fixed sprinkler irrigation.
- Intervention effect Center pivot irrigation increased sugar and purity percentages versus fixed sprinklers.
- Observation At 60% IWR sugar beet had the lowest quantitative yield traits and highest impurity concentrations.
- Observation Root length was highest at 80% IWR.
- Observation Full IWR maximized yield traits, sugar percentage and purity percentage.
- Intervention effect Foliar boron at 1.5 g L-1 raised root length, diameter, fresh weight and yield relative to control.
- Observation Sugar and purity percentages were highest with boron at 1.5 g L-1.
- Observation Impurities were lowest at the 1.5 g L-1 boron rate.
- Intervention effect Center pivot irrigation improved water use efficiency relative to fixed sprinkler irrigation across deficit levels.
- Recommendation The authors recommend center pivot irrigation at 80% IWR with foliar boron at 1.5 g L-1 for high sugar beet yield and quality.
