Abstract
To assess the effect of water conditions and K availability level on crops’ yields, the K-exhaustion type field experiment was established in 1991. In the years 1998–2000, the sugar beet, cultivar Mieszko was grown as a test crop. The experimental design comprised two levels of applied K (0, 150 kg K2O/ha) and four water treatments, i.e. control (C — rainfall only), irrigated to 70% FC (I), and 4 weeks drought periods imposed in July (D-I) or in August (D-II). The obtained results showed that long-term lack of K fertilization, even on soil rich in plant available potassium, resulted in about 20% yield of taproots decrease. Yield losses were due to both lower stock (by 11.4%) and lower plant mass (7.3%). The effects of water deficits on the K fertilized plots were much lower than on the K non-treated ones.
