Type: article
Abstract: At the Kalabsho Experimental Farm in the Dakahlia Governorate, Sugar Crops Research Institute, Agricultural Research Center, Egypt, two field tests took place on reclaimed sandy soil throughout 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 seasons to investigate the impact of the sowing dates (September 20, October 15, and November 10) and spraying with biological compounds (without, spraying with irrigation water, Anti-Stress Plus and Algae-Extract as biological compounds) on yielding and excellence of sugar beet under new reclaimed soils. The field experiment was conducted in four replications using a strip-plot design. The maximum averages of root and foliage fresh wt., root/top ratio, foliage tall, root tall, root diagonal, sucrose and quality %, root yielding/fed, top yielding/fed, harvest index (HI) and sugar yielding/fed and lowest values of potassium, sodium, alfa amino nitrogen resulted from sowing sugar beet on 15th October or spraying sugar beet plants with Anti-Stress Plus as biological compound at 3.5 cm3/liter water in both seasons. It can be recommended that sown sugar beet in intermediate date (15th October) and spraying plants with Anti-Stress Plus as biological compound at 3.5 cm3/liter water to obtain maximum productivity and quality parameters of roots juice under the environmental conditions of Kalabsho District (as reclaimed sandy soil), Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt.
