Sugar Beet Yield in Different Varieties Function of Irrigation and Fertilization Strategy

Abstract

The characterization of sugar beet culture involves the analysis of aspects related to environmental requirements, cultivation technologies, disease and pest control, as well as its use. The aim of the research was to identify the impact of the agronomic inputs represented by fertilization and irrigation on sugar beet yeld, expressed in dry matter terms, of two sugar beet varieties, Gorilla, and Vanghelis, respectively. The trial was carried out in Tritenii de Jos commune. The Gorilla sugar beet cultivars and Vanghelis were studied, according to a bi-factor experiment (variety x agronomic inpunts). The Gorilla cultivar of sugar beet demonstrated the highest productivity of dry mass in the variant corresponding to the highest irrigation norms and intensive fertilization, with an average value of 11.57 t/ha and the lowest coefficient of variation (CV) of 11.61%. In the Vanghelis cultivar, demonstrated the highest productivity of dry mass in the variant corresponding to the highest irrigation norms and highest fertilization doses, with an average value of 14.90 t/ha and the lowest coefficient of variation (CV) of 7.58%.
