Response of Sugar Beet, Beta vulgaris (L.) to Irrigation with Saline Water, Organic Manure and Soil Texture

A POT experiment was conducted on sugar beet. Beta vulgaris (L.), in a greenhouse of National Research Centre. Dokki. Egypt, during the two winter seasons 2006/07 and 2007/08. The treatments included the combinations of two soil textures (clay and sand), three saline water irrigation levels, viz. tap water (Control = 300). 4000 and 8000 ppm and three quantities of organic manure (zero. 12.5 and 25.0mVleddan. 1 feddan = 4200.78 nr). Results indicated that soil texture, saline water irrigation and organic manure significantly affected most of studied trails. Higher values on leaves and root traits were produced by 300 ppm and 25.0 in manure. Root was the biggest in sandy soil. Clay soil produced pronounced root traits increasing salinity in irrigation was significantly detected studied traits. The effect of manure was in opposite to salinity one. The first order interactions: salinity x either soil or manure showed lesser significant differences, in opposite to (soil x manure). Only fresh and dry weights were significantly affected by the second order interactions. The recommended combination was (sand soil x 300 ppm water x 25.0 m3 manure)
