A field experiment was carried out to calculate the effect of thermal requirements and its relation to the yield and chemical content of sugar beet during two growing seasons in Upper Egypt. The temperature effects on sodium, potassium, and alpha - amino nitrogen contents. There was a high correlation between growing degree days (GDD) of three harvesting dates and three sugar beet varieties. The results indicated that increasing harvesting date increased roots and sugar yields.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
