Abstract

The effects of foliar treatments of micronutrient solutions and soil stimulants on the growth, quality, and production of two sugar beet root types in North Sinai were investigated. A split-split plot design was used. The varieties had a significant variation for different traits, with Marathon variety performing better than Farida variety. Foliar application of micronutrient solutions also had a notable effect on different traits, with spraying 750 ml/fad resulting in the ultimate values for root productivity, root diameter, and root length. Spraying 500 ml/fad yielded the optimum values for sugar yield, TSS, purity, and sucrose. Soil stimulators had a statistical impact on various traits, with the Iquet compound being the most effective. The interaction between variety, micronutrient solution, and soil stimulator also had a significant effect on various traits, with the best combination being spraying 750 ml/fad., of micronutrient solution with Humic acid as a soil stimulator for the Marathon variety. However, the combination of 500 ml/fad., foliar spray with Iquet for the Marathon variety yielded the highest sucrose, TSS proportions, and sugar yield. The findings of this study will be useful for future investigations, such as usage of soil stimulators and foliar applications of micronutrient solution in sugar beet production.
