Abstract
The field experiments were carried out in 1997–1999 in randomized permanent plots (split-block design) with four replications. The first experimental factor was a sugar beet variety: Sonja, Fontana and Evita. The second-rate factor was fertilization, applied in four variants: 1. control (O), 2. potassium at 160 kg K2O per 1 ha (K), 3. potassium, sodium and magnesium in a combination: 160 kg K2O + 12 kg Na + 14.4 kg Mg per 1 ha (KNaMg), and 4. potassium, sodium and the increased dose of magnesium in a combination: 160 kg K2O + 12 kg Na + 38.3 kg Mg per 1 ha (KNa3Mg). The weather conditions during the vegetation period were the main factor influencing quality of sugar beet roots. According to sugar content, the varieties were classified as follows: Evita ≥ Sonja ≥ Fontana. The difference between cultivars Evita and Fontana was significant. No significant effect of fertilization with K, Na and Mg on sugar content was observed, although in treatments K and KNa3Mg this trait reached a higher level, as compared to the control, by 0.12% and 0.2%, respectively. The varieties showed different ways of creating their yields, as related to the quality features. Generally, the plants fertilized with KNaMg produced the highest yield of sugar.
