| Abstract |
A field experiment was conducted at Nubaria Agric. Res. Station, Egypt, on winter season 2004/2005 using sugar beet plants. To study the effect of five levels of soil salinity, i.e., 3.2, 5.3, 9.6, 13.1, and 19.4 (dS/m) as it’s the field and two levels of boron 5 and 10 (mg/L) as foliar application on yield and yield attributes of four sugar beet varieties differed in their salt tolerance, i.e., Corola Hullo 85, Itto, Top and Indiana.
The results showed that increasing soil salinity led to a decreases in sugar beet yield, while increasing boron levels from 5 to 10 (mg /L) led to a relatively increases in sugar beet yield. This true was observed for all varieties.
The relative tolerance of sugar beet varieties to salinity were in the order: Top> Corola Hullo 85> Itto> Indiana. Also, data revealed that nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium percentage in sugar beet yield decreased with increasing salinity levels. However, boron had a slight or no effect on N, P and K percentage in sugar beet yield. Boron content in plant tissue of sugar beet increased with increasing boron levels from 5 to 10 (mg/L) for all sugar beet varieties. The amount of NaCl expressed as kg/feddan taken up by Corola Hullo 85 and Top varieties was more than Itto and Indiana varieties.
Generally, results indicated that Top and Corola Hullo 85 cultivars were relatively tolerant to soil salinity than Itto and Indiana cultivars which showed relatively sensitive to soil salinity
