Abstract: Purpose. To find out the peculiarities of sugar beet productivity formation under the application of plant growth regulators.Methods. Laboratory, field.Results. Seed treatment using growth regulators provided a significant increase in the intensity of germination in the laboratory and in the field, in the plant density and uniformity of crops. The use of the Stoller’s growth regulators in seed and crops treatment under the conditions of unstable and sufficient moisture has ensured a significant increase in the weight of root, which contributed to an increase in root yield. Particularly, when sowing treated seeds and treated seeds following by spraying crops, or only for spraying crops with studied growth regulators, a significant increase in root yield and sugar content compared to control was obtained.Conclusions. The newest growth regulators by Stoller, namely Stimulate, Bioforge, Sugar Mover and Nitrate Balancer, are effective for intensification of plant growth and development and increasing sugar beet productivity; therefore they can be effective elements of modern cultivation technologies.
