“…On the other hand, calcium and potassium ions are quite similar in size and charge and hence, exchange sites can't distinguish the difference between the ions. Moreover the rate of potassium uptake is also influenced by high soil pH, where further calcium and potassium compete with each other and the addition of any one of them will reduce the uptake rate of the other two elements (Christenson and Draycott, 2006). Artyszak et al (2014) found that foliar application of sugar beet with 262.0 g Ca/ha in the stage of 4-6 leaves led to increases of the root yield by 13.1%, leaf yield by 21.0%; sugar yield by 15.5% and yield of sugar by 17.7% as well as significant reduction of α-amino-N content and tended to reduce the content of K and Na.…”

Two field experiments were carried out at Wadi El-Noran Farm, Al-Abtal Village, Eastern Suez Canal, Ismailia Governorate (latitude of 30 0 18 N and longitude of 32 0 30 E) in 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 seasons to evaluate the performance of two mono-germ sugar beet varieties namely Nancy and Karim (Beta vulgaris var. saccharifera L.), as affected by the applications of boron, potassium and calcium fertilization whither as single element application or as a mixture of the three elements on growth, yield and quality of sugar beet under sandy soil settings. The treatments were arranged in split plots design with four replicates where varieties were arranged in main plots and the mineral spray applications were arranged in sub-plots. The present work included ten treatments represent the interactions between the two sugar beet varieties and five combinations of three elements including the following: 1. without application of elements (control), 2. Application of 150 ppm boron/fed (as boric acid 17% boron), 3. Application of 2 L potassium/fed (as potassien-P compound including 30% K 2 O + 8% P 2 O 5 /l), 4. Application of one liter of calcium/fed as form of compound Calso-x (8% chelated calcium as calcium carbamide, claw on humic acid 10% and free amino acid 3%), 5. Application of the combination of (potassium + boron + calcium) at the previously mentioned levels. The fertilization treatments were given as foliar application/400 liter water/fed, Results indicated that Karim variety had the highest values in Leaf area index, root and foliage fresh weighs (g/plant), total dry weight (g/plant), as well as root and extracted sugar yields(t/fed). Meantime, Nancy had surpassed Karim in sucrose%, extracted sugar% and quality index%.Foliar application of sole and combined applications of the three elements was significantly affected in leaf area index, root and foliage fresh weighs g/plant, and total dray weight g/plant compared to untreated. Fertilizing sugar beet by mixture of potassium +Boron + Calcium recorded a important increase in root and extracted sugar yields/fed and sucrose% as compared to untreated. Karim variety achieved the highest value of extracted sugar yield/fed when treated by mixture application of (B, K and Ca) while, untreated Nancy variety gave the lowest value. It could be recommend that fertilizing Karim variety by mixture of 150 ppm B+ 2 L potassien-P + one L Ca/400 L water/fed as foliar application to get the maximum of root and sugar yields/fed under this experimental conditions.

“…There are numerous excellent references to fertilizer management and liming for sugar beet production (Cariolle and Duval 2006;Christenson and Draycott 2006;Draycott 1972Draycott , 1993. The purpose of this chapter is to review and reference those works and define the current situation of fertilizer management for sugar beet, but to also address future needs and developments to keep sugar beet a profitable crop for growers.…”

Global sugar beet production spans diverse regions and a wide range of climatic and agroecological regions from rainfed to irrigated production which presents unique management challenges. Sound nutrient management now and into the future must be balanced between production efficiency and managing to have less impact on the environment. N management continues to improve with more precise N rates. Soil testing for N supplying capability plus residual N will need to be increased to enhance productivity and N use efficiency. Newer cultivation techniques, N placement and timing can also fine tune N rates. In irrigated areas, improvements in N management will be coupled with better water management and conversion of furrow irrigation to sprinklers will accelerate improvements. Enhanced efficiency fertilizer products hold promise but require additional research under a range of conditions to determine cost and production effectiveness. Management for secondary and micronutrients seems adequate at this time. Precision agricultural applications for expanded site specific management in sugar beet are just beginning. Work with maize and wheat point to the potential of creating different management zones in fields and by using remote or close sensing to determine N status for N applications. Similar research will be needed to continue efficient sugar beet production.

“…Precipitated CaCO 3 generated during the juice purification process meets the definition of a lime product (SSSA 1997), and its chemical and physical properties make it a quality liming material (Christenson and Draycott 2006). Thus, throughout this document, we refer to this material as factory lime.…”

Factory lime generated during sugar beet processing contains phosphorus (P). Factory lime collected from seven sugar beet factories in North Dakota and Minnesota had P concentrations ranging from 3470 to 7043 mg P kg 21 . Soil collected from two field trials one and two growing seasons after factory lime application was analyzed for pH changes and soil-test P (STP). At one site, soil pH increased after both growing seasons, as did STP, indicating a continued release of P as the factory lime dissolved and reacted with the soil. At the second site, increased soil pH and STP were evident after one growing season, but a few months later the pH had no further change and STP decreased. The data suggest factory lime has the potential to supply P to a growing crop, but actual proportion of P available from the factory lime could not be quantified from these experiments.
