Abstract
A series of field experiments on optimization of N-fertilization in sugar beet were carried out in 1998–2000 for various in mulch cultivation systems [stubble mulch (SM), white mustard green mulch (WMM), phacelia green mulch (PhM)]. These systems were compared to the classical one, i.e. including ploughing and farmyward manure (FM). Goals of sugar beets cultivation, i.e. yield of roots, biological sugar, recoverable sugar and net return highly responded to the applied N rates. However, the type of the cultivation system affected the optimum N rate more deeply than the management goals. The maximal yields of roots, resulting from the assessed cultivation systems, was the main factor affecting sugar beet profitability and increased in the following order: SM < WMM < PhM < FM. The same order of the net return response to N rates was found. With respect to the optimum N rate, two groups of goals were established, the first one characterized by higher Nopt. rate, comprised yield of roots and the second one with lower Nopt. rate — yield of recoverable sugar and net return.
