Abstract
During the years 1992–1995 a research was conducted on 187 production plantations of sugar beet located in Podlasian voivodship (near sugar factory — Łapy) and during the period of 2000–2001 — on 155 ones situated in Łódź voivodship (near factories: Dobrzelin and Leśmierz). Yields of roots and sugar content were evaluated, in dependence on 3 soil factors — pH, phosphorus and potassium contents and NPK fertilization. Arithmetic means for the analyzed features were calculated from the frequency distributions for various level intervals of the factors. Furthermore, relationships between root yield or sugar content and the analyzed factors were evaluated using the linear factorial regression analysis. The yield of root was more intensely determined by the specified factors (R2 = 0.27) than the sugar content (R2 = 0.10). All the analyzed factors significantly affected root yield and the highest effect was exerted by soil pH (36.6%), nitrogen fertilization (19.3%) and potassium fertilization (13.5%). The sugar content significantly depended only on soil pH and nitrogen and potassium rates, the factors contributed jointly with 80.9% to the total variability of this feature.
