Abstract (in English)
In order to evaluate the adaptaion and compare the results of different varieties of Iranian and German sugar beet in Baghlan Province, an experiment was carried out in the form of a randomized complete block design with 4 replications, 5 treatments and 20 plots in the two cropping years of 1396 and 1397 in the research farm of the Faculty of Agriculture of Baghlan University. The experimental treatments are T1, T2, T3, T4, T5.
The composite variance analysis of the root yield of different cultivars of the tested treatments showed that there was a significant difference between the different treatments of Sugar beet in terms of yield (P≤0.05). Also, the interaction effect of year and treatments under experiment was also significant. The highest yield in both crop years belonged to the T3 treatment with an average of 97.4 tons per hectare and the lowest yield belonged to the T1 treatment with an average of 71.1 tons per hectare among the treatments under experiment.
In terms of sugar percentage, the highest sugar percentage belonged to T4 treatment with an average of 15.3 and the lowest sugar percentage belonged to T2 treatment with an average of 11.9. In addition, the highest percentage of nematode destruction belonged to the T5 treatment with an average of 7.4% and the lowest percentage of nematode destruction belonged to the T3 treatment with an average of 2.7% among the tested treatments.
