| Abstract | ||||
| Two field experiments were carried out during 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 seasons at Kom Oshem, Fayoum Governorate to study the effect of three hill spacing, 15, 20 and 25 cm and three sugar beet varieties Pleno, Sultan and Kawemira as well as their interaction on sugar beet productivity. Sugar beet varieties were planted on 1st November in both seasons. The obtained results revealed that: increasing plant spacing from 15 to 25 cm increased significantly root length and diameter, fresh weight, sucrose%, root and sugar yields/fed. Impurities%, i.e. (N, Na and K) were decreased significantly in both seasons. Sugar beet varieties gave increased significantly root length, diameter, fresh weight, sucrose%, root and sugar yields/fed. Decreased significantly impurities% in both seasons. The interaction was significant in both seasons for root length, fresh weight and root yields/fed. In general, sowing sugar beet at 25 cm using Kawemira variety was the best treatment for maximizing productivity under the environmental conditions of this study. | ||||
