Abstract

Factors that influence sugarbeet root yield and sucrose concentration
affect sucrose production. Inadequate nitrogen (N) limits root yield;
excess N stimulates top growth and reduces sucrose percentage (2, 4). Inadequate
irrigation limits root and sucrose yields (3); overirrigation leaches
nutrients and affects the sugarbeet response to N application (6).
