Abstract

Two field experiments were carried out at second Belkas f"rm, Dakahlia
governorate, Egypt in 1999/2000 and 2000 12001 seasons to study the! effect off OUT
Nitrogen rates Le. 60,80,100 and 120 Kg. N I fed. [as ammonium nitrate (33.5%N) on
yield and juice quality of sugar beet variety Ras poly. The experiments were laid out
In Randomized Complete Block Design. Applying Nitrogen rertilizer at the rate of 80
and 100~. N !fed. gave the highest values of the chemical constituents or fresh sugar
beet roots.lncreasing Nitrogen up to 120 kg. N Ifed. can be significantly increased root
yield, top yield and sugar yield .On the other hand (sucrose %. juice ~rity %. Na%.
