Field experiments were conducted at Sakha Agricultural Research Station, Sugar Beet Crop Res. Dept., Kafr ELSheikh Governorate during the two winter seasons of 2004 and 2005 using sugar beet variety (Farida). Experiments were carried out using sugar beet topping machine to determine the effect of forward speed, nail speed and topping height on topper performance (over topping, under topping, untopped, broken beet And topping performance), power, energy requirements and topping cost UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2006/EJAR/8401/1/111.pdf ER -
