Abstract

The field experiments were carried out in the years 1997–1999 in randomized permanent plots (split-block design) with four replications. The first experimental factor was a variety of sugar beet: 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 yield of roots was very high, and amounted 71.7 t/ha. The effects of a variety and of potassium fertilizers on the yield of roots and leaves were greatly influenced by the weather conditions during the vegetation period. Production capabilities of the tested varieties (Fontana > Sonja > Evita) were best expressed under optimal water and nutrients conditions in 1997. That year, the average effects of fertilizers on the root yield were, irrespective of a variety, as follows: control (73 t≤ha-1 = 100%) ≤ K (103.6%) < KNaMg (108.3%) ≤ KNa3Mg (111.8%). In contrast, in the years with unfavourable growth conditions, variety-fertilization interactions were strongly pronounced. Fertilization with sodium resulted in the increased root yields throughout the experiments, particularly in dry weather conditions in 1999.
