beet were found higher at 160 DAS except V 2 (Shubrha), V 4 (HI 0473), V 9 (SV 891) V 10
(SV 892) and V 15 (Serenada). At 180 DAS, pol% beet was decreased in all the genotypes
except V 4 (HI 0473) and V 9 (SV 891) comparing to 160 DAS.

Figure 1. Pol% beet of seventeen sugarbeet genotypes at different harvesting times

Yield of sugarbeet at different harvesting times
From the Table 3 it was observed that, beet yield was increasing up to last
harvesting time (180 DAS) for the genotypes V 1, V 2, V 3, V 4, V 5, V 6, V 7, V 8, V 9, V 10 , V 16 and
rest of the genotypes showed inverse results.Aly (2006) reported that the maximum beet
yield was obtained from 180 upto 210 DAS. It was also observed that, the highest yield
-1
was recorded from the genotype V 17 (127.77 t ha ) at 160 DAS which was statistically
-1
similar to the genotype V 13 (122.90 tha ) at the same crop age. On the other hand, the
-1
lowest yield was found from the genotype V 3 (45.33 t ha ) at 120 DAS.
