| Abstract | ||
| A field study was conducted through three successive seasons, "1986-1989", to elucidate the effect of some soil properties on sugar beet constituents. Forty six sites were selected along the sugar beet belt, " Latitude 31° - 31° 30° N", in the middle Delta sector. Under the experimental conditions, the results indicated that the reduction of the roots growth, juice quality and the yield of both roots and sugar took place as the level of water table depth was less than 100 cm, and/or the values of the pH or EC " mmhose/ Cm" in the soil paste extract surpassed the Figure 8 . The adversity rate of these factors differed widely among the different sugar beet constituents. However, the values of both exchangeable sodium percent "ESP" and clay percent revealed insignificant effects. | ||
