Abstract

The results of investigations are based on static field experiment carried out at Experimental Field Station of Warsaw Agricultural University — Chylice in 2000–2001. Technological value of roots expressed in content of sucrose, N-α-NH2, K, Na, pure sugar and efficiency of sugar in relation to roots mass (fractions: <200; 201–800; 801–1400; 1401–2000 and >2000 g ) is presented in this paper. The obtained results showed that roots with mass in the range of 201–1400 g were characterize by highest sucrose content, pure sugar and sugar output. The large roots and to some extend roots below 200 g were characterized by less desirable technological properties. The important factor determining technological value of beet roots was weather conditions during growing season. Content of N-α-NH2, K, Na was higher in 2000. It results from unequal falls distribution, drought in April — June and excessive falls in July. Such a weather conditions favoured development of leaves, what could have undesirable influence on increase of molasses forming components, mainly detrimental nitrogen in roots in comparison to 2001.
