Performance of Sugar Beet (Beta vulgaris L.) Cultivars under the Intercropping with Clover in Arid Land Conditions

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: This investigation was carried out at Hada AL-Sham Agricultural Research Station, KAU to study the behavior of three sugar beet cultivars (Farida, Dita and Heros) under three intercropping systems (sugar beet sole, 1sugar beet: 2 clover and 1sugar beet:3 clover rows) during 2016-208 seasons. Intercropping systems produced higher root and sucrose yield/ha more than sole plantation. In addition, Farida cv was the highest in root and sucrose yield compared with the other cultivars. Farida cv under the1sugar beet: 3clover intercropping system produced the highest sucrose yield/ha (4.45t and 7.04 t/ha in the 1st and 2nd seasons, respectively).
