Abstract
2 Abstract: A two-year study was carried out to investigate the effect of different tillage methods on biological growth and quality characteristics of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) during 2008 and 2009 growing seasons. Tillage treatments were moldboard plow + two passes of disk harrow (MDD) as conventional tillage method; moldboard plow + one pass of rotavator (MR), chisel plow + one pass of rotavator (CR) and two passes of disk harrow (DD) as reduced tillage methods; one pass of rotavator (R) and one pass of tine cultivator (C) as minimum tillage methods and no-tillage (NT). Biological growth components, i.e. root yield, root numbers per hectare (RNPH), sugar yield, root dry matter (RODM), root length, rim diameter and some quality characteristics of sugar beet such as sugar content, potassium, sodium, alpha-amino nitrogen (ALAN) and molasses were measured for different tillage treatments. Different treatments significantly (P 0.05) affected RNPH and potassium, but there was no significant difference in other studied traits. Although effect of different tillage treatments on root yield, sugar yield, RODM, root length, rim diameter, sugar content, sodium, ALAN and molasses was not significant, results of the study indicated that tillage operations were useful in improving the biological growth and quality characteristics of sugar beet.
