ABSTRACT
A field experiment on yield, uptake and economics of sugarbeet influenced by different irrigation levels and nutrient management was conducted at Agronomy Farm, College of Agriculture, Parbhani during rabi 2007-08 and 2008-09. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with four levels of irrigation schedules i.e. 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 and 1.2 and four levels of nutrient management i.e. 100 : 50 : 50 NPK kg ha-1, 150 : 75 : 75 NPK kg ha-1, NPK on soil test basis and 100 : 50 : 50 NPK kg ha-1 + 10 t FYM ha-1. The root yield (t/ha), uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus & potassium and net returns were higher with scheduling of irrigation at 1.2 IW : CPE ratio than scheduling of irrigation at 1.0, 0.8 and 0.6 IW : CPE. As regards to nutrient management application of 150 : 75 : 75 NPK kg ha-1 was found most beneficial in respect of root yield (t/ha), uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus & potassium and net returns over lower doses of nutrients.
