Abstract :

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of nitrogen and boron on yield and quality of sugar beet (Pirola cultivar) in Khoy and Naghadeh regions as a split plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. Nitrogen factor at four levels as N1(%50 at planting and %50 at 6-8 leaf stage), N2 (%50 at planting and %50 at 8-12 leaf stage), N3 (1.5 times N1) and N4 (1.5 times N2) in main plots and boron in four levels B1 (non-usage), B2 (soil usage), B3 (as foliar application in two stages of 6-8 leaves and 8-12 leaves) and B4 (foliar application in two stages 8-12 and 16-20 leaves) as the subplot. The interaction effect of (place*nitrogen) on all traites with out leaf nitrogen content, (place*boron) on leaf boron content, sugar percent, and (place*nitrogen*boron) on leaf boron content, root yield and white sugar content were significant. The results of comparison of mean showed that the highest boron efficiency in increasing root yield observed in N4B4. In both places, root yield gradually increased along with increasing of consumed nitrogen. The maximum root yield (9838 g/m2) in N4 was in Naqadeh which had an increase of 38% compared to the same treatment in Khoy. In both places, regardless of the boron content, with a gradual increase of nitrogen from N1 to N4 sugar percentage decreased. In both places, the efficiency of the treatments in increasing the percentage of sugar belonged to B4 at the lowest nitrogen level (N1), which in all four nitrogen levels was equal to B2 (boron soil consumption). In all four levels of nitrogen, the yield of pure sugar increased with increasing boron consumption. The yield of pure sugar in Naqdeh at all four levels of nitrogen was higher than that of Khoy. It seems that in Naqdeh, due to the high root yield compared to Khoy, pure sugar yield is also higher.Thus, the result of this research, tearment if N1B4 in situation of this research recommended.
