Abstract
The sugar beet yield levels, root mass structure and some technological value parameters of the raw material were determined in the studies on foliage application of sodium chloride, at concentrations 2, 6 and 12%, sprayed in the first decades of July, August and September, on the varieties Kristall, Atair and PN Mono 4. Sodium chloride sprayed on leaves influenced positively the yield level of sugar beet foliage and roots, root mass structure and biological and technological yield of sugar. The concentrations and dates of sodium chloride application significantly affected the root mass structure and technological value. Sodium chloride of 12% concentration increased dry mass, ash and alpha-amine nitrogen contents, but did not affect the concentration of sugar and its yield. Sodium contained in roots affected their yield positively and significantly, but had a negative influence on the content of sugar and its yield. Increasing doses of sodium chloride induced increased concentration of nitrogen, potassium and sodium in the roots, and decreased the concentration of phosphorus and magnesium.
