“…However, APRD 50 performed better than CDI 50 and yielded 11% higher white sugar (in Table 3 not given) when same amount of irrigation water was applied. The results of our study support the findings by other researchers who reported that DI plays an important role in decreasing sugar beet root and sugar yields (Uç an and Gencoglan, 2004;Kızıloglu et al, 2006;Rinaldi and Vonella, 2006;Topak et al, 2010;Ghamarnia et al, 2012).…”

“…Other studies reported evapotranspiration of sugar beet between 400 mm for short‐cool seasons and up to 1500 mm for dry‐arid climatic conditions and long seasons (Howell et al. 1987, Uçan and Gençoğlan 2004, Rinaldi and Vonella 2006). According to the FAO (2002) data, evapotranspiration increases from 500 to 700 mm for high yielding potato crops when increasing the growing season from 120 to 150 days.…”

This study was conducted in a region with semiarid cool climatic conditions during the period from May to October in the years 2003 and 2004, respectively. Actual evapotranspiration (ETc) of sugar beet and potato crops was calculated according to the water balance approach. Reference evapotranspiration (ETo) was calculated with FAO Penman–Monteith equation. Evaporation (Epan) was measured by using class A pan. Seasonal mean ETc was determined as 492.9 mm for sugar beet and 445.2 mm for potato. Seasonal mean pan coefficient (kp = ETo/Epan) was determined as 0.74, and the seasonal mean crop coefficient (kc = ETc/ETo) was determined as 0.65 for sugar beet 0.60 for potato.

“…Furthermore, sowing date is affecting yield quality (Caglar et al 2011). Experiments with sowing dates in two contrasting seasons (autumn versus spring) have been performed for various crops including chickpea (Singh et al 1997;Iliadis 2001;Özdemir & Karadavut 2003), durum wheat (Bassu et al 2010), faba bean (Confalone et al 2010), pea (Silim et al 1985;Vocanson & Jeuffroy 2008), potato (Fahem & Haverkort 1988), sugar beet (Rinaldi & Vonella 2006), and wheat (Ozturk et al 2006;Caglar et al 2011). Generally, higher yields were reported by these authors for autumn-sown crops (except for potato cultivated in Tunisia where spring-sowing resulted in higher yields [Fahem & Haverkort 1988]).…”

Spring-sown crops are expected to have a higher risk of drought during summer in the next decades in Central Europe due to expected climate change. Therefore, a two-year experiment was conducted under Pannonian growing conditions in Eastern Austria to investigate the effect of autumn-and spring-sowing of facultative wheat. Autumn-sowing of facultative wheat enhanced crop development, soil coverage, crop stand height, crop growth rate, and nitrogen (N) utilization efficiency during the vegetation period compared to spring-sowing; duration of growth stages was prolonged and crops were earlier ripe. In contrast, spring-sowing resulted in higher relative growth rates, higher N concentrations of aboveground dry matter, higher relative N uptake rates, and more mineral N in the soil. At harvest, grain yield and yield components ears m −2 and thousand kernel weight (TKW) were higher in autumn-sown than in spring-sown wheat, resulting thereby in an increased seed yield. Spring-sown wheat had higher N concentrations in grain and in straw. Anyhow, N yield was slightly higher with autumn-sowing due to the higher grain and straw yields. Grain and straw yield, plant stand height, ears m −2 , and TKW were impaired in the second experimental year by a severe drought for both sowing dates as well as N concentrations and N yields of grain and straw, partial factor N use efficiency and N utilization efficiency. But the yield components harvest index, grains m −2 , and grains ear −1 were strongly impaired with spring-sowing under drought conditions. Thus, autumn-sowing of wheat resulted in higher yield stability across both years, based on these yield components highlighting possible benefits of autumn-sowing with expected summer drought under climate change.
