In: Minufiya Journal of Agricultural Research 2010. v.35(6)Summary: Two field experiments were conducted during both seasons of 2007/ 2008 and 2008/ 2009 over two locations at km 71 West Alexandria- Cairo desert Road In commercial field of sugar beet grower fanner In Nubariya region. This investigation was conducted to study the effect of land leveling technique, sowing method and plowing depth on the yield and quality of sugar beet. The first location was soil leveled by laser method (L₁), and the second location was soil leveled traditionally (L₂). Each trial for single location included six treatments representing the combinations among three sowing methods and three plowing depths. The use of laser leveling before sowing sugar beet achieved the highest values of the measured characters i.e., root length and diameter (cm), fresh weight of root and leaves (g/ plant), root, top and sugar yield (Mg/ fed), total soluble solids (T.S.S) and sucrose percentages, while there was no different significant between the two methods of land leveling on number of root! fed and purity percentage. Mechanical sowing by using the planter attained the superior values of root length (cm), fresh weight of leaves (g/ plant), number of roots/ fed, root, top and sugar yield (Mg/ fed), total soluble solids (T.S.S) and sucrose percentages compared with both the traditional methods (rows and terraces), while the highest values of root diameter and fresh weight of root/ plant were obtained with traditional sowing on terraces. Plowing depth of 40 cm resulted In highest values of root length and diameter (cm), fresh weight of root and leaves (g/ plant), root, top and sugar yield (Mg/ fed), total soluble solids (T.S.S) and sucrose percentages. It could be concluded that, the use of mechanization in agricultural operations such as laser leveling, deep plowing of 40 cm and the use of planter In the cultivation of sugar beet was the best combination to maximize sugar beet productivity in the newly reclaimed sandy soils under the environmental conditions of the present study.
