Abstract
In the years 1996–1998 an assessment of sugar beet plants response to four rates of potassium (0, 80, 160, 240 kg K2O/ha) was performed in 8 locations, i.e. plantations of the Sugar Beet Factory Kościan, yearly. Yields of beets, irrespective on experiments localization and K rates, ranged from 66 to 78 t/ha. In four of eight experimental sites a positive response to the applied potassium was found and the lack of it or even negative effect was stated in the remained four sites. The main factors responsible for the found trends were precipitation in summer months and also potassium buffering capacity of soil. Yields of recoverable sugar in both groups of stands highly depended on yield of roots and sugar content. However, in the group of responsive stands the diagnostic value of sugar content was very high (up to 50%), but in the non-responsive stands this parameter was only of the secondary importance (16%).
