“…Furthermore, this result is consistent with the results of below mentioned studies, which applied different nitrogen levels on sugar beet. In a study conducted by Schmehl et al (1963) in Colorado, USA, focusing on the effect of nitrogen fertilization on the yield and quality of sugar beets reported that sugar beet root and sugar yields were not statistically different between 100 and 300 kg ha −1 of nitrogen applications. Jahedi et al (2012) studied the effect of nitrogen levels and irrigation methods on sugar beet yield and quality in Iran and reported no yield increase between 180 and 240 kg ha −1 of nitrogen fertilizer.…”

“…Scott and Jaggard (1978) have reported that early sugar beet seeding could increase the yield compared to later sowings because of higher quantity of intercepted light during the growth period. Schmehl et al (1963) in Colorado, USA, and Smit (1993) in Netherlands studied the influences of sowing date on the decision to resow sugar beet and reported that timely planted sugar beets produced higher yields and more sucrose than late-planted beets. Ç akmakcı and Oral (2002) studied the effects of sowing date on sugar beet yield and quality and indicated that the optimum sowing date of this crop is around mid-April.…”

“…Gardner and Robertson (1942) reported that a soil application of 56 to 112 kgjha excess nitrate N was necessary to reduce the sugar content of beets 0.5%-Each 0.025% nitrate N in the beets at harvest reduced the sugar content by approximately 1%- Haddock et al (1959) found that available N was needed throughout the growing season for high yields, but a low nitrate level at harvest was the key to sugarbeet quality. Schmehl, Finkner, and Swink (1963) indicated that amount of N fertilization should be governed by the expected length of growing season. Haddock (1959) indicated that at least 25 ppm sodium bicarbonate-soluble (available) P was needed for sugarbeets on a calcareous soil similar to Millville loam.…”

This experiment included tillage to 15, 20, 30, 40, 60, and 80 cm depths and N and P fertilizer rates to provide an adequate plant nutrient level. The experiment was performed with both level border and graded furrow irrigation to determine the effect of deep tillage on yield of sugarbeets (Beta vulgaris L. variety ‘HH‐10’). Sugarbeet yields were increased by deep tillage and added N with adequate irrigation, but there was no yield increase from applied P. Deep tillage increased yields more where N was applied. Also, the response to N was greater after deep tillage to 40 cm in two of three years. Deep tillage increased the water intake rate, thus favoring good root development during wet seasons. Higher sugar yield after deep tillage was attributed to increased water intake, improved aeration, reduced bulk density, less root rot, and increased response to N.

In a 3‐year experiment on Brookston clay loam, the effect of time and rate of application of nitrogen on the yield and sucrose content of sugar beets was studied. Maximum yield of sugar was obtained when nitrogen was applied as a preplant at 90 or 120 pounds per acre or as a sidedressing in mid‐June at 60 or 90 pounds per acre. A harvest delay of 28 days resulted in an increase of 1017 pounds of sugar per acre, representing an average increase of 36 pounds per acre per day. The initial 14 days of harvest delay resulted in an increase of 638 pounds of sugar, or a daily increase of 46 pounds per acre, as compared to an increase of 379 pounds of sugar or a daily increase of 27 pounds per acre for the last 14 days delayed harvest. The date of harvest was the most important factor affecting the sucrose content of beets. The order of importance of the variables on differences in sucrose content was: Date of harvest >> Time of nitrogen application > Rate of nitrogen application > Interactions. The rate of nitrogen application and date of harvest were about equal in effect and accounted for the majority of the variation in root yield. The order of importance of the variables on differences in root yield was: Rate of nitrogen application ≃ Date of harvest >> Time of nitrogen application > Interactions. The date of harvest was the most important factor contributing to differences in sugar yield. The order of importance of the variables on the variation in sugar yield was: Date of harvest >> Rate of nitrogen application > Time of nitrogen application > Interactions.
