e0“Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris var. saccharifera, L.) is one of the main economical sugar crops in Egypt”
e3“Spraying of 1.5 g/ L boric acid treatment led to significant increase in most of traits where, it achieved thickest and heaviest tops and roots/plant and higher values of (chlorophyll a, b and carotenoids), sucrose, purity percentages, root and sugar yields/fed in both seasons, as compared to other humic acid levels”

- Intervention effect Spraying sugar beet with 20 g/L humic acid followed by 2 g/L boric acid and 50 mM/L citric acid reduced Cercospora leaf spot severity and relative efficacy compared with the other treatments.
- Intervention effect Spraying 1.5 g/L boric acid increased the thickness and weight of sugar beet tops and roots.
- Intervention effect Spraying 1.5 g/L boric acid gave higher chlorophyll a, b and carotenoid values in sugar beet.
- Intervention effect Spraying 1.5 g/L boric acid gave higher sucrose and purity percentages in sugar beet.
- Intervention effect Applying 15 g/L humic acid significantly affected endogenous phytohormones in sugar beet compared with the other humic acid levels.
- Intervention effect Applying 15 g/L humic acid gave the highest root diameter, fresh and foliage weights per sugar beet plant.
- Intervention effect Applying 15 g/L humic acid gave the highest sucrose and purity percentages in sugar beet.
- Intervention effect Applying 15 g/L humic acid gave the highest sodium and potassium contents in sugar beet.
- Intervention effect Applying 15 g/L humic acid gave the highest root and sugar yields in sugar beet.
- Intervention effect Applying 15 g/L humic acid gave the highest photosynthetic pigments in leaves in the first season only.
- Intervention effect Foliar 50 citric acid/fed increased root diameter and foliage and fresh weights per sugar beet plant compared with the check treatment.
- Intervention effect Foliar 50 citric acid/fed increased sucrose and purity percentages in sugar beet compared with the check treatment.
- Intervention effect Foliar 50 citric acid/fed increased root and sugar yields in sugar beet compared with the check treatment.
- Recommendation The combination of humic, boric and citric acid sprays can be recommended to increase sugar beet root yield and quality and reduce Cercospora leaf spot severity.
