Abstract

Precipitation is a basic natural factor in sugar beet production. The objective of the study was to assess agronomic and economic efficiency of applied potassium under diversified (simulated) water conditions. Experimentally established total sums of water reaching surface of plant’s canopy and their distribution during vegetation, exerted a significant, effect on yield of beet plants. The average, over years, total sum of water, and productivity of 1 mm of the supplied water in 1999, explained in 97% the variability of sugar beet yields. As a result, the obtained values of gross revenue and net return were determined by the water conditions. Effect of potassium application on all the studied agronomic and economic parameters showed year to year variability. Effects of potassium application were higher in the years with optimal water condition, than in the dry year.
