Quantitative and Qualitative Characteristics of Sugar beet in Direct Cultivation and Paper Pot Transplanting Under Saline Soils of Ahvaz, as an Autumn planting.

Sugar beet at the time of germination and primary growth is sensitive to salin soil and at 6-12 ds/m salinity the germination decreses about 50 percent. Thus, the posibilty of successful planting in saline soils have some difficulties. To study this problem an experiment was considered using split plot within Randomised completely Block design with 4 replications and 85000 plant density at College of Agriculture of Shahid Chamran, Ahvaz University. Main plot were two levels planting methods (Direct and Paper pot Transplanting), and sub plots with 3 levels cultivar (BR1 Monojerm, Monodora and BR1 Multijerm). Were planted under saline soils with EC 13. 77 mmhos/cm on September, 27, and the harvest was accomplished on June, 22.
Due to results, main plot levels were significantly different. But sub plots level and their interact in all evaluated factors expect Potassium were not significant. Although The direct plantig by view of net and gross sugar, and amount of salts in root was better, but production of paper pot transplanting have preference over direct planting method because of it׳s net and gross sugar and yield root, and this method by producing 68. 93 t/h of root and 9. 89 t/h sugar was better method and monojerm BR1 cultivar with 57. 44 t/h average production of root was the premier cultivar in this experiment.
