Abstract

The influence of irrigation, foliar fertilization and nitrogen application on root yields and economic effects of sugar beet cultivation was investigated in 1997–2000. Irrigation increased root yield by 8.65 t/ha (17.31%) and leaves by 3.49 t/ha (13.7%). The increment of 62.7 kg of roots per 1mm of irrigation water was achieved. The optimum nitrogen dose for root yield under non-irrigated conditions was 186.0 kg N; under irrigation 201.8 kg N. However, optimum economic dose of nitrogen fertilization were lower by 23.8 and 14.6 kg Nha-1 respectively. Irrigation caused increase of productivity of 1 kg N applied and value of root yield increase per 1 PLN spent on fertilizer. Relationship between fertilizer and roots price had insignificant effect on optimum economic nitrogen dose.
