Responses of the Sugar Beet to Low Soil Moisture at Two Levels of Nitrogen Nutrition1

R. S. Loomis and G. F. Worker, Jr.2

Synopsis: Moisture stress reduced vegetative growth and increased sucrose concentration (fresh basis) in the roots of sugar beet plants grown at high and low levels of N nutrition. Beet purity and sucrose yield were increased by N deficiency but not by moisture stress. Effects of the two factors were independent and additive. Changes in sucrose concentration are interpreted on an osmotic basis.

1 This study was supported in part by grants from the beet sugar companies operating in California and the California Beet Growers Association, Ltd., and the National Plant Food Institute.

2 Assistant Professor and Associate Specialist in Agronomy, University of California, Davis, and University of California Imperial Valley Field Station, respectively.

Received for publication March 22, 1963.
