Abstract
Two field trial were fulfillment at Kalabsho Experimental Farm (sandy soil) located at the longitude of 31.220 E and latitude of 31.140 N and 15 m above sea level in seasons of 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 to find out the influence levels of sulphur and boron fertilizers on sugar beet cv. Gloria yields and quality traits. A strip-plot by way of three replicates was done through together seasons. Sulphur fertilizer levels (50 , 100 and 150 kg S/fed) were added to the soil in the vertical-plots. While, levels of boron fertilizer (without, 5 and 10 %) as foliar application were devoted in the horizontal-plots. The obtained results showed that, in both seasons, fertilizing with 150 kg S/fed for sugar beet plants produced the greatest yields and its components and quality traits, followed by fertilizing with 100 kg S/fed and lastly fertilizing with 50 kg S/fed. Spraying sugar beet plants with solution of 10 % boron resulted in the maximum yields and its components and quality traits. Spraying sugar beet plants twice with boron (5 %) ranked secondly after boron (10 %) and followed by control treatment (without spraying plants with boron) through together seasons. It might be accomplished that fertilizing sugar beet plants through 150 kg S/fed and sprayed twice (after 50 and 70 days after sowing) with solution of 10% boron to maximizing yields and juice quality under the environmental conditions of sandy soil in Kalabsho region, Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt.
