Productivity of fodder beet (Beta vulgaris var. Crassa) cultivars as affected by plants spacing in Al Ghab, Syria
Journal Title: Journal of Agricultural and Crop Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Field experiment was conducted at the General Commission for Scientific Agriculture Research (GCSAR), Al Ghab Research Station from 2009 to 2011, to investigate the effect of plant density (25 × 50, 30 × 50, 25 × 60 and 30 × 60 cm) on production traits of four monogerm fodder beet varieties (Jamon, Splendids, Starmon and Vermon). Split plot design was used with three replications. The statistical analysis exhibited a significant effect of the varieties (V) and plant spacing (D) for most of the production traits (biology, root and shoot yields (ton/ha), root and shoot weight per plant (g), and sucrose content (%). The variety Splendids showed the superiority for most of the production traits as compared with the other varieties. The results also clarified the superiority of 25 × 50 plant density with the highest production traits, but to get a higher sucrose % it is recommended to grow the beet roots at spacing 30 × 60 cm.
