Abstract
A field trial was conducted at Ladhowal, Ludhiana during 2002–03 and 2003–04 to study the effects of planting density and nitrogen on sugar beet. Three planting densities – 83,333 plants (rows spaced at 60cm and plants at 20cm), 1, 00,000 plants (50 cm x 20 cm) and 1, 11,111 plants (60 cm x 15 cm) ha−1 and five nitrogen levels i.e. 120, 150 and 180 kg N ha−1 alone, 90 kg N ha−1 + 20 t farm yard manure (FYM) ha−1 and 120 kg N ha−1 + 20 t FYM ha−1 were evaluated in RBD with three replications. A basal dose of 60 kg ha−1 each of P and K was applied to all the treatments. On an average, planting density of 1, 00,000 plants ha−1 produced the highest beet root and sugar yield. Among nitrogen levels, the response was significant up to 150 Kg N ha−1. Addition of 20 t FYM ha−1 along with 90 kg N ha−1 produced similar root and sugar yield to 120 kg N ha−1 alone. The yields were also similar with 150 kg N ha−1 alone and, 120 kg N ha−1 + 20 t FYM ha−1. Sucrose content in beet roots did not vary statistically among plant densities and nitrogen levels, rather addition of FYM revealed higher sucrose content in roots as compared to without FYM.
