“…Also, the abundance of soil moisture increased top yield through increasing dry matter accumulation and leaf area. These results are in accordance with those reported by Sorour (1995), Emara (1996), El-Zayat (2000) and Kenter et al (2006). Mahmoodi et al (2008) reported that the optimum soil water content for root yield is 70% of field capacity, while the minimum root yield was observed at 90% of field capacity.…”

Increasing nitrogen rate from 75 and 90 kg N/feddan significantly increased dry weight, LAI, CGR, root length, root weight, top yield, root yield, concentration of -amino-N% and Na + K in roots, loss sugar%, sugar yield and WU. The inverse was true in root/top ratio, gross sugar%, white sugar % and juice purity %. Nitrogen rate had slightly effect on WUER and WUES.Application of micronutrients through seed soaking and foliar spraying (SS+FS) produced the greatest dry weight, root/top ratio, LAI, CGR, root length, root diameter, root weight, top yield, root yield, gross sugar%, white sugar % and juice purity %, sugar yield, WUER and WUES. SS was at par SS+FS in most these traits. FS increased concentration of -amino-N% and Na + K in roots and the most of mentioned traits compared with control.All interactions had a significant effect on root and white sugar yields/feddan. The maximum root and white sugar yields and the best WUER and WUES were achieved from plants irrigated at 55% DAM and received 90 kg N/feddan along with SS+FS It can be concluded that the irrigation at 55% DAM along with 90 kg N/feddan and SS+FS or SS was the recommended treatment for optimum root and extractable white sugar yield per unit area with less water consumptive use at Kafrelshiekh Governorate. INTRODUCTIONThe great challenge for the coming decade will therefore, be the task of increasing food production with less water particularly in areas with limited water. Increasing agricultural productivity by making the most effective use of the available water resources or more crop per drop is a major challenge. Water regime is an option that may increase water use efficiency. Mahmoodi et al (2008) found that the optimum soil water content for root yield of sugar beet is 70% of field capacity with 78.5 t/ha. The minimum root yield (52.5 t/ha) was observed at 90% of field capacity. Irrigation at 30, 50 and 70% of field capacity had same effect on sugar content while sugar content decreased at 90% field capacity. When the available soil water content was at 70% of field capacity, maximum root yield and quality was observed. Fabeiro et al.(2003) reported that Moderate water consumption rates (6898 m 3 ha

The current study was carried out to analyse three sugar beet genotypes regarding to the economic yield and the potential to produce bioethanol, under the influence of furrow irrigation regime in specific conditions of Transylvanian Plain, NorthWest Romania. The research factors, genotype ('Leila', 'Clementina' and 'Libero') and irrigation regime were studied within a polyfactorial experimental design. The results obtained indicated that in specific climatic conditions of Transylvanian Plain, 'Libero' genotype had a great performance and produced the highest yields. The average production of 'Libero' genotype was superior than 'Clementina' and 'Leila' varieties, both in irrigated and non-irrigated conditions, as it follows: 38.98 t ha -1 , respectively, 52.72 t ha -1 in the first year of research; 47.63 t ha -1 , respectively, 59.73 t ha -1 (in the second year); 2014-60.87 t ha -1 , respectively, 74.43 t ha -1 (in the third year). Moreover, the production increased with 11.5% under irrigated conditions for all the studied genotypes. The results also revealed the positive influence of the irrigation regime on the qualitative parameters of the bioethanol (ethanol, higher saturated monoalcohols, methanol, water, inorganic chloride, cooper, phosphorous, sulphur etc.) indicating that the obtained bioethanol might be a viable alternative for fossil fuels.

“…To assess the influence of climatic conditions on the growth and development of vegetable crops, experiments must be conducted in different growing seasons, that is, from a different approach from previous studies conducted in individual situations or under controlled conditions (Kenter et al, 2006). This influence was observed in different cultural cycles of beetroots in the fall (85 days) and spring-summer (80 DBS), as well as in the higher agronomic yield obtained in the first growing season.…”

The use of green manures in vegetable crop production systems has increased, but there is still a lack of information about the correct handling of the species for better use by culture. Two field experiments were conducted in Serra Talhada in the semiarid of Pernambuco state, Brazil, to evaluate the effects of amounts of biomass and times of Calotropis procera incorporation into the soil in the agronomic performance of the beetroot 'Early Wonder' in two growing seasons (fall and spring-summer). The experimental design was a randomized block in three replications. The treatments were arranged in a 4 x 4 factorial scheme, with the first factor corresponding to the quantities of C. procera biomass (5.4, 8.8, 12.2, and 15.6 Mg ha -1 on a dry basis) and the second to the times of incorporation into the soil (0, 10, 20, and 30 days before sowing of beetroot). The following characteristics were assessed in the beetroot: plant height, number of leaves per plant, root diameter, total productivity, commercial productivity, and dry mass of roots. The amount of C. procera as well as the time of incorporation and growing season directly influenced the agronomic performance of beetroot. Regardless of the assessed agronomic characteristics, increasing amounts, and decreasing the time of incorporation proportionally influenced the performance of beetroot. The best agronomic performance of the beetroot was obtained by fertilization with 15.6 Mg ha -1 of C. procera. The ideal time of incorporation of green manure coincided with the date of the sowing of beetroot. The cultivation in the fall season resulted in higher total and commercial productivity of beetroots fertilized with C. procera.
