| Abstract | ||||
| Two field trials were conducted during 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 seasons, in Tamia District, El-Fayoum Governorate, Egypt, to study the effect of two cease irrigation before harvest periods (10 and 20 days) and three spaces between hills (15, 20 and 25 cm) on performance of three varieties (Pleno, Samba and Lola). Cease irrigation 10 days before harvest significantly increased root and top fresh weight, while cease irrigation 20 days before harvest significantly increased sugar yield/fed, percentages of sucrose, TSS and purity. Root and sugar yield /fed, and sucrose% were significantly increased with reducing spacing hills. Spacing of 15 to 20 cm between hills had the best quality traits. Samba variety had the highest values of root and sugar yields /fed as will as sucrose and purity percentages. Ceasing irrigation and varieties interaction had a significant effect on quality traits, as well as root and sugar yields/fed. Under this study sugar beet can be cultivated on 20 cmhill spacing with cease irrigation at 20 days before harvesting to maximize sucrose% as well as yields of root and sugar yields/fed. | ||||
