| Abstract | ||
| A field trial was performed at Tag El-Ezz Research Station, Governorate of Dakahlia, Egypt, in 2015/2016 & 2016/2017 seasons to find out the impact of levels and times of foliar application of iron fertilizer on productivity and quality of sugar beet cv. Sultan. The experiment was arranged in design of strip-plot with three replicates during both seasons. Levels of iron foliar application (untreated "without spraying ", spraying solution of Fe-EDTA at the levels of 500, 750 and 1000 ppm) put in the vertical-plots. The horizontal plots were devoted to five times of foliar application (60, 75, 90, 105 and 120 days after sowing "DFS"). We can summarize the given results as follows:- The greatest averages of all considered traits were achieved when spraying plants with solution of Fe-EDTA (1000 ppm). The second best level of Fe foliar fertilizer was 750 ppm and followed by foliar spraying plants with 500 ppm Fe during both seasons. Adversely, control treatment gave the lowest averages of all considered traits in the two seasons. -Foliar spraying plants with Fe-EDTA after 90 DFS attained the greatest values of all considered traits and followed by spraying with Fe-EDTA after 105 DFS, 120 DFS, then 75 DFS and lastly 60 DFS ranked secondly during the two seasons. It can be concluded that foliar spraying plants of sugar beet with the solution of Fe- EDTA (1000 ppm concentration) after 90 days from sowing to gave the upper limits of yields and quality under climate and nature of agricultural lands in Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt. | ||
