Beetroot response to sodium chloride as a component of fertilizers

Sodium use combined with NPK fertilizers can potentially increase beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) yield and quality. This hypothesis was studied in three field experiments Western Transbaikalia throughout the seasons 2012-2014. The effects of a combination different Na amounts (10, 20, 40 kg Na/ha) chloride on yield, storage root quality, sugar accumulation were estimated. As result, application increased by 13-22%, as compared to mineral along, highest dose contributed maximum yield. rising mean weight detected. Also, crude protein vitamin C beetroots, while fibre nitrates decreased. Along sodium concentration, potassium amount dry matter roots tops declined. Both found have more efficient P N uptake.
