| Abstract | ||||
| This work was conducted at Sahl- El-Hussinia plain, El-Sharkia Governorate, (private farm) through two successive winter seasons of 2006-2007 and 2007- 2008 to study the effect of different irrigation sources on sugar beet productivity. The source of irrigation water was El- Salam canal i.e. mixed Nile water with agriculture drainage water (1:1), Bahr Hadoos drain e.g. agriculture drainage water and Bahr El-Bakar drain as sewage effluent. The obtained results could be summarized as follows: There was a reduction of soil pH as a result of irrigation with different irrigation sources water specially the soil irrigated with Bahr El-Bakar drain during the two seasons. There was a relative decrease of soil salinity; 5.36 – 38.73 % of soil irrigated with El-Salam canal; 5.33 – 22.45 % of soil irrigated with Bahr Hadoos drain and 8.22–34.81 % from soil irrigated with Bahr El-Bakr drain. There was a relative increase of available N, P, K and available Fe, Mn and Zn in the first season, while there was significant differences in the second season in all studied soil. There was a significant increase of sugar beet production in soil irrigated with Bahr El-Bakar drain, while the sugar purity and sugar yield were increased in soil irrigated with El-Salam canal water. The different resources of irrigation water led to an increase in the concentration of N, P, K, Fe Mn and Zn in sugar beet shoot more than root in all studied traits. | ||||
