Abstract

At a private farm located at the 64th km of Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road (latitude of 30o27'05" N and longitude of 30o19'09" E), Giza Governorate, Egypt, two field experiments were carried out in 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 seasons to determine the influence of compost type (without, garbage compost and botanical compost), nitrogen fertilizer levels (60, 80 and 100 kg N fed-1) and foliar application with micronutrients levels (without, 1 and 2 L of Citreen "as commercial foliar fertilizer contains micronutrients"/300 liter of water/fed) as well as their interactions on growth, productivity and quality of sugar beet. Randomized complete block design in a split-split plot arrangement was used. The obtained results showed that the organic fertilization of sugar beet fields with botanical compost produced the highest values of growth characters, root yield and quality parameters of sugar beet in both seasons. Supplying sugar beets with 100 kg N/fed resulted in the highest growth, yield and quality traits of the crop in the two growing seasons. Foliar application of micronutrients in the form of Citreen at 2 liter/300 liters of water/fed attained the highest values of growth characters, root yield and quality parameters as well as nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). Under the environmental condition of the present work, the addition of 5 ton of botanical compost/fed + 80 kg N/fed combined with spraying Citreen at 2 L/fed can be concluded to improve productivity and quality of sugar beet.
