Abstract
An assessment of the effect of calcium saltpetre and ammonium saltpetre nitrogen fertilizers in relation to potassium fertilization applied alone or enriched with sodium and magnesium (two variants: KNaMg; KNa3Mg) on roots and sugar yields were conducted in 1999 and 2000 at Donatowo, Wielkopolska. Yields of root, sugar and technological quality of roots depended on interaction of both experimental factors, i.e. N and K-Na-Mg fertilizers. Sugar beet plant fertilized with calcium saltpetre and potassium chloride or ammonium saltpetre together with KNaMg fertilizer resulted in similar level of roots and sugar yields. The calcium saltpetre in comparison to ammonium saltpetre caused increase of sugar content and some molasses forming substances such as α-amino N and K as well. It was found that sugar yields from the combination fertilized with calcium saltpetre depended more on yields of roots, but fertilized with ammonium saltpetre on both yield of roots and sugar content.
