Nitrogen (N) is the crop nutrient which more directly influences the production and quality of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris L., SB) root. It is therefore important to accurately estimate the amount of N fertilizer to be supplied to the crop. Soil N excess, besides being detrimental for SB technological quality, may also increase the environmental pollution risk. The aim of this work was to improve our general knowledge of N availability for SB, by monitoring the inorganic N content in the cultivated soil layer during the crop growth season. The N dynamics in soil under SB was compared with that under winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L., WW), in the same kind of soil.

Abstract

Nitrogen (N) is the crop nutrient which more directly influences the production and quality of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris L., SB) root. It is therefore important to accurately estimate the amount of N fertilizer to be supplied to the crop. Soil N excess, besides being detrimental for SB technological quality, may also increase the environmental pollution risk. The aim of this work was to improve our general knowledge of N availability for SB, by monitoring the inorganic N content in the cultivated soil layer during the crop growth season. The N dynamics in soil under SB was compared with that under winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L., WW), in the same kind of soil.
