| Abstract | ||
| Fodder beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is the focus of attention as forage crop in Syria. However, recommended agronomic practices for maximizing productivity are limited. The study was conducted on summer date (1st of September), during 2016/2017 season, to study the effect of organic and potassium fertilizer on the productivity traits of fodder beet. The experiment was carried out as split plot design based on randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replicates. The organic treatments (control, manure, sea weed extracts) were assigned to the main plots, while potassium treatments (90, 120, and 160 pure unit of K2O/ha) were distributed randomly in the sub plots. The results of analysis of variance showed a significant (P≤0.05) effect of potassium treatment on root and shoot weight per plant, and root and shoot crude protein contents. The best treatment was K90 to get the highest productivity and quality traits. In terms of organic treatments, the sea weed extracts surpassed the other treatments significantly. | ||
