Evaluation of some sugar beet varieties under Sabahia and Nubaria regions conditions

الملخص EN

Two field experiments were carried out at Sabahia, and Nubaria regions during 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 seasons, to evaluate ten varieties of sugar beet under Sabahia and Nubaria conditions.

The experiments were conducted in split plot design with three replications, where the main plots assigned by the two location (Sabahia and Nubaria), while the sub plots were occupied by the ten varieties of sugar beet (Charelston (V1), Gazella (V2), Heba (V3), Lilly (V4), Mammut (V5), Matros (V6), Nancy (V7), Oscarpoly (V8), Puma (V9), and Pyramidia (V10).

The results revealed that there was significant difference between the two locations and the cultivated verieties for most of studied characters, whereas planted each of Pyramidia, Puma and Oscarpoly under Nubaria and Sabahia region getting the highest yield, yield components and quality of sugar beet crop.

Other cultivars under this study could be employed as other sugar beet genetic resources with reasonable root and sugar yields in such sandy soil of the Nubaria region.
