Effect of nitrogen and magnesium sulfate application on sugar beet yield and quality

Adequate nutrition of sugar beet with magnesium (Mg) and sulfur (S) has been assumed to be the key increase fertiliser nitrogen (N) efficiency. This hypothesis was validated on two soils differing in textural class, i.e., sandy loamy. The experiment consisted three factors: (1) in-soil application Kieserite (0, 24 kg Mg/ha); (2) foliar Epsom salt (0.2 (3) N rates 40, 80, 120, 160 200 N/ha). following parameters were evaluated: (i) yield storage roots (TY); (ii) qualitative features roots, (iii) white (WSY). Both characteristics, regardless soil, affected a greater extent by than MgS application. highest increments TY WSY obtained 2016, year fewer favourable weather conditions soil wider Ca : Mg ratio. greatest effect observed under low applied (up 80 kg/ha). It can concluded that right early stages growth is prerequisite an effective management rich mineral N.
