Effects Of Depth-Dependent Irrigation Regimes And Organomineral Fertilizers On Water Useand Quality Attributes Of Sugar Beet, Ali̇ Ünlükara

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Experiments were conducted under provincial conditions of Kayseri, Turkey, for two years in the growing seasons of 2014 and 2015 to determine the effects of irrigation water applications based on different sugar beet root zone depths and different organomineral fertilizers on sugar beet yield, root quality, water consumption, and water use efficiency. Two constant root depths (D1 = 0.9 m and D2 = 0.6 m) and one active water extraction root depth (D3= 0.4-0.9 m) were investigated. A mineral fertilizer (F1), an organomineral fertilizer (F2), and organic + mineral fertilizer (F3) were considered as the subtreatments in the experiments carried …
