Response of some sugar beet varieties to methanol and method of nitrogen fertilizer applications [electronic resource].

Includes reference.

Two experiments were conducted at EL-Fayoum Governorate in 2003/2004 and 2004/2005 winter seasons to investigate the response of some sugar beet varieties to nitrogen fertilizer applications alone or combined with methanol and their interactions. Three levels of methanol [zero (tap water). 15 and 30%] as foliar application. Nitrogen fertilizer was soil and foliar application as follows. control (70 kg/fed top dressing as solid urea) and 70. 90 and 110 kg N/fed (2/3 of each as soil application. and 1/3 as foliar application) with 6% urea. The tested sugar beet varieties were Del 939, Kawamira and Oscar poly. A split plot design. with three replications, was used in both seasons. where sugar beet varieties were arranged in the main plots. nitrogen fertilizer applications combined with methanol as foliar application occupied the sub-plots.
