Sugar beet occupies a key position in modern agriculture, being a highly profitable industrial crop with enormous potential for the processing industry. Successful cultivation of this root crop requires in-depth knowledge of soil agrophysics, plant nutrition physiology, and competent planning of agrotechnical measures within crop rotation. For an agronomist, understanding the processes of sugar accumulation and the optimization of mineral nutrition is the key to obtaining a high-quality harvest with high energy value.
This collection of materials covers a wide range of issues: from the theoretical foundations of mineral nutrition and the role of phytohormones to practical solutions in the field of soil preparation after row crops. You will find a detailed analysis of fertilizer application systems in specific soil and climatic conditions, methods for calculating irrigation rates, and ways to evaluate the economic efficiency of the applied agricultural practices. The articles also reveal the importance of crop residues in increasing soil fertility and provide scientifically grounded data for conducting agrochemical research, which makes this section an important tool for improving technologies for growing sugar-storing root crops.
