Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at El-Gemmeiza Agric. Res. Station, Gharbeya Governorate, Egypt during the two successive winter seasons of 2017/2018 and 2018/2019, to study the effect of sulphur ( 0, 40 and 80 kg/fad.) and three foliar spray treatments (mixture of FeSO4 20%+MnSO43H2O 23%+ZnSO47H2O 23% +B as boric acid 17%) at 1%, blue green algae extract at 1 liter /fad. and yeast extract at 100 ml/liter water on growth , yield and root quality of sugar beet (cv Oskar poly) grown in a clay soil conditions. These treatments were arranged in a split plot in a complete block design with three replications. Sulphuer levels were randomly distributed in the main plots , while foliar spray treatments were randomly arranged in the sub plots. The interaction between sulphur at 80 kg/fad. and spraying with blue green algae extract at 1 liter / fad. gave the highest values of sugar beet shoots, roots and its components. While , the interaction between sulphur at 80 kg/fad. and spraying with the mixture of Fe+Zn+Mn+B at 1 % recorded maximum values of Fe, Zn, Mn and B in leaf tissues and roots. The increases in yield of sugar were about 32.8 and 56.3 % for the interaction between 80 kg S/fad. and spraying with blue green algae, 24.9 and 42.7 % for the interaction between 80 kg S/fad. and spraying with mixture of Fe+Zn+Mn+B over the interaction between 0 S and spraying with yeast extract in the 1st and 2nd seasons, respectively.
