| Abstract | ||
| Two field experiments were conducted in 2003\2004 and 2004\2005 seasons in Gelbana village, El-Kantra Shark, Sinai to study the effect of transplants dates, namely 15, 25 and 35 days from sowing nursery compared with direct seeding (control) on productivity of five sugar beet varieties, namely Top, Kawemira, Gloria, Pleno and Farida. Results showed that both direct seeding and transplant 25 days age produced the highest root yield without significant difference between them. Also, direct seeding did not differ significantly from transplants 15 or 25 days age concerning sugar yield. Slight but significant differences among the five studied varieties were found in root yield, and Farida cv. recorded the highest roots and sugar yields/fad. | ||
