The effect of foliar application of micronutrients on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of sugar beet Cultivar Latyta (Beta vulgaris L.)

Foliar application of micronutrients has very important on increase of quantitative and qualitative corps. In order to investigate the reaction of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) to micronutrients application was carried out a randomized complete block design with four fertilizer treatments (foliar application) including boron (B), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn) with a concentration of 5 per thousands the 8-10 and 14-16 -leaf stage of sugar beet with 4 replications. Sample plot was prepared without foliar application. Physicochemical properties of soil was determined by standard methods. So, quantitative and qualitative characteristics of sugar beet including total sugar content, pure sugar content, and molasses sugar content, Na, K and N content in root, alkalinity, sugar extraction coefficient, root yield and pure sugar and total sugar yield were determined in sugar beet samples. Results showed that the foliar application of micronutrients on all characteristics studied had significant effect.
