A Note on the Adaptation of Sugar Beet to Agro-Ecology of Northern
State
Solomon Celso Kumudan and Mahadi A/Rahman Ahmed2
Abstract:
A field study of which 2004-05 was its third season was carried out at
Dongola mainly to determine extent of sugar beet adaptation to
agro-ecology of Northern State of the Sudan. Season’s averages were 81
t/ha of fresh roots, 18.2% sucrose, 13.56 ton/ha of sugar, 66793
harvested beet/ha and an average root weight of 1.2 kg. Sugar beet
varieties used in this study were generally similar in all parameters
studied. Yield and sucrose recovery data of different varieties grown at
different locations suggests that sugar beet is a promising crop in this
area and deserves concentrated efforts in research and development.
