Title: THE INFLUENCE OF MINERAL FERTILIZERS ON THE SYNTHESIS OF SUGARS IN THE SUGAR BEET (BETA VULGARIS L. VAR. SACCHARIFERA)
Abstract: Despite the intensive development of new technologies, however, sugar production is still based on the basic raw material, the sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L. var. Sacharifera). Except as a raw material for the production of refined sugar, sugar beet can be grown both as a crop for feeding animals and also by the by-product of sugar extraction, is a high quality animal feed.Due to the great economic significance of the sugar beet, the new production trends are aimed at improving the quantitative and qualitative properties and one of the basic agro technical measures that is directly dependent on the yield and quality of the turnip is the properly conducted plant nutrition.In order to determine the influence of mineral fertilizers on the synthesis of sugars in sugar beet, polish experiments on alluvial soil were carried out. The experiment includes six variants: 1. Control (non-fertilized), 2. NP, 3. NK, 4. PK, 5. NPK, 6. N2PK.Based on the results obtained from the research, it can be concluded that different doses and ratios of nutrients have a direct effect on the synthesis of sugars in the sugar beet root. The highest sugar concentration was achieved in variant 4. PK, 19.80%, and the lowest in the non-fertilized variant number 1, i.e. 16.40%. It can also be concluded that the negative effects on sugar synthesis have high concentrations of nitrogen. By increasing the dose of nitrogen, the sugar content in the thickened root of sugar beet is reduced.
