Abstract
A field experiment was carried out at the Research Center of Barkat-e-Jovein, Jovein agro-industries, Northeastern Iran, during 2008 to evaluate the effect of concentration and time of boron foliar application on root yield and quality of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris). Treatments consisted of 3 application times (30, 45 and 60 DAP) and 4 application rates (spraying with concentrations of 0, 4, 8 and 12‰ corresponding with 0, 0.35, 0.70 and 1.22 kg B ha as water-soluble B (Boric acid)). Results revealed that application time had no considerable 1 effect on sucrose concentration, root yield, k , Na , molasses sugar, nor on reducing nitrogen. Boron ++ application increased root yield and sucrose concentration by 12.12% and 26.35%, respectively, decreasing k , + Na , -amino-N and molasses sugar compared with those of the control. In this study, no significant differences +
