Abstract
Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L. var. Trible) was cultivated in Sakha Res. St., Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate during two successive seasons (1997/1998 and 1998/1999) to study the effect of boron and manganese foliar application under three levels of nitrogen fertilizer on the root and sugar yields as well as N, P and K uptake by sugar beet plant.
The obtained results showed a significant increase in root, sugar yields, and NPK uptake with increasing applied N up to 80 kg N fed-1 except the uptake of P by root was increased only up to 40 kg N fed-1 application.
Concerning the foliar application of boron data indicated that boron at 100 ppm increased sugar yield in 1st season whereas at 200 ppm had no significant effect on root, sugar yields in both season whereas it increased significantly N, P and K uptake in two seasons except K uptake in the second season.
Data also showed that manganese applied at 2000 ppm had significant effect on root and sugar yields as well as N, P and K uptake by plant in both season.
The positive effects of interaction between N, B and Mn on the studied variables were also discussed.
