Two field experiments were conduct at Sakha Agric Res. Station , Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate during 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 seasons. The objectives of this study aimed to study effect of three nitrogen levels (75 , 90 and 105 kg N /fad) and two nitrogen sources (ammonia gas 82 % and urea 46 % N) on yield and quality of sugar beet under environmental conditions of Nile Delta region. The main findings could be summarized as follows: Application of nitrogen fertilization at the rate of 105 kg N / fad in the form of ammonia gas by 6 days before sowing gave the highest values of chastises i.e root, sugar and top yields as well as top/root ratio, Na, K ,-amino nitrogen content and sugar loss in molasses in both seasons .On the contrary , sucrose , purity , sugar extractable , extractability percentages and alkaline coefficient recorded the lowest values in both seasons. Application of ammonia as a source of N significantly increased, root and sugar yields, sucrose and purity % as well as sugar extractable and extractability % and alkaline coefficient. Generally, it could be concluded that application of ammonia gas at 6 days before sowing for late sowing at the end of October gave the highest root yield and quality for sugar beet compared that fertilized by urea which applied late after sowing as another nitrogen source.
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.
