Abstract
In the first part of the dissertation the basic characteristics of sugar beet yields were discussed. The second part deals with the nutritional status of beet plants assessed 50–60 days after germination using the Bergmann’s (1992) threshold values. It was found the optimal nutritional status for the secondary nutrients such as magnesium and calcium but not for the primary ones such as potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus. The high obtained yields of beets and sugar (details in the I part) and found correlations in the K-responsive group between potassium, calcium contents and sugar yields suggest that the Bergmann’s threshold values are too high respecting the stage of sugar beet plant growth. On the other hand, in the K-non-responsive group, contents of potassium and calcium appeared to be good indicators of sugar yields.
