Abstract

Boron deficiency is considered to be a limiting factor in plant production in many parts of the world. A field study was conducted to determine the current nutritional status of sugar beets in the Kahramanmaraş-Elbistan region in the 2016–2017 season. Due to the results of the field study indicating the lack of soil and plant boron, field trials were conducted between 2017 and 2019 to determine the effect of boron on the yield and quality of sugar beet. In the results of the field studies, it was determined that more than 85% and 75% of the soil and plant samples, respectively, contain boron below the critical limits. A significant positive relationship was determined between the total boron content of the plants and the available boron content of the soils and it was calculated as r = 0.7611*** (y = 57.3703x + 29.0349). According to the results of the field trials of two years, sugar beet responded significantly to the application of boron from the soil. While sugar beet root yield and purified sugar yield increased statistically significantly, the increase in the presence of sugar and the presence of refined sugar was not found to be significant. Boron application did not affect the content of sugar beet root potassium sodium and harmful nitrogen content. Increase in purified sugar yield; 13.2% at 150 g da−1 boron level, 14.5% at 300 g da−1 level, 18.7% at 450 g da−1 boron level, and 13.4% at 600 g da−1 boron level.
