Abstract :
To study the effect of nitrogen and boron on yield and sugar content of two varieties of sugar beet, an experiment was carried out in split-split plots at RCBD in three replications with three factors in the personal field of Khoy area. 1st factor with two levels of variety, Flores ( a1 ) and Iranian variety of 004 ( a2 ), 2nd factor with two levels of nitrogen which consisted of soil testing ( b1 ) and 1.5-time soil testing ( b2 ) and 3rd factor with three levels of boron which consisted of no-use ( b1 ), foliar ( b2 ) and soil ( b3 ) application. The result showed that variety had meaningful effect on root length; the highest root length was 32.25 cm in 004 ( a2 ) variety. The effect of nitrogen was meaningful in diameter, length and dry weight of root. The highest content of this factor was in 1.5 time of soil testing of nitrogen usage. The effect of boron on root dry weight, root yield, sugar and molasses content were meaningful. The different methods of boron application showed that maximum rate in all traits was attained with the soil usage of this element.
