Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Decreasing K-rate reduced fresh and dry weights of root and top and leaf area of sugar beet.
- Intervention effect Decreasing K-rate reduced root, top and sugar yields of sugar beet.
- Intervention effect Decreasing the K-rate decreased individual sugars, invertase activity and mineral element composition of sugar beet.
- Observation Decreasing K-rate showed the same trend as the other chemical properties for root impurities (K and α-amino N) in sugar beet.
- Observation Decreasing K-rate showed the same trend for sugar lost in molasses, extractable sugar and alkalinity coefficient in sugar beet.
- Intervention effect Decreasing K-rate increased juice purity and Na % in the juice of sugar beet.
- Intervention effect Growth regulators IAA or kinetin affected most growth and yield traits of sugar beet positively, except invertase activity and juice purity.
- Intervention effect The effect of growth regulators on sugar beet increased with their concentration.
- Intervention effect K-fertilizer combined with MA or 1G gave the same trend in sugar beet as the tested growth regulators used alone.
- Intervention effect Foliar sprays with MA alone or with K-fertilizer were more effective on sugar beet than 1G treatments.
- Recommendation K-fertilizer at 12 kg K2O/fed combined with MA is recommended to improve juice quality of sugar beet root and reduce environmental pollution.
