Abstract :
In the three year trials tested yield and quality of five sugar beet genotypes. According to results, highest average weight of root ( X =1.13 kg), as well as highest value of root mass (X max=1.35 kg) was recorded by variety Otis. Variation in yield by varieties was statistically significant. Highest yielding varieties were Chiara and Otis. Highest yielding variety Chiara had 97% higher yield than variety Severina, 36.76 t ha-1. Highest digestion individual and in average, have had varieties Severina and Irina while the lowest was variety Otis. Highest digestion stability had variety Irina (Cv=2.52%). Quality, namely technological root value largely depends of genotype. Coarseness of the root was in inverse proportion to the content of sugar.
