Abstract

Two methods of establishing sugar beet on sodic soils Were evaluated. Direct sowing on ridges was more suitable than transplanting seedlings on flat bed or on ridges, the former technique led to establishment of higher number of plants and greater mean weight of individual roots. The estimated yield of white sugar was also greater from crop grown on ridges by direct seed sowing than that from the crop raised by transplanting of seedlings.
