Abstract
Two field experiments were carried out at the experimental station of Sakha Agricultural Research,
Agricultural Research Center, Egypt during the two growing successive seasons of 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 to
study the effect of foliar application with humic acid at 15, 20 and 25 g/ L; mono potassium phosphate at 1, 1.5
and 2% and vigamax (amino acids) at 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 ml/L on some morphological and physiological
characteristics as well as root yield and quality of sugar beet (Beta Vulgaris L.) plant cv. "Ras poly". Results
showed that all tested treatments statistically improved growth parameters i.e., Root length, diameter, size,
number of leaves, root and leaves fresh weight , root and leaves dry weight, root yield parameters(i.e., root
length, diameter, size, fresh and dry weights of root), root chemical compositions parameters, leaves bio
constituents i.e., N, P, K, total sugars and chlorophylls contents as well as endogenous phytohormones (i.e.,
cytokinins, gibberellins, auxin (IAA) and abscisic acid (ABA)) of sugar beet plant compared with control.The
treatments of vigamax (amino acids) at 0.4 ml/L and humic acid at 20 g/L followed by mono potassium
phosphate at 2% were more effective comparing in this respect.
Conclusively, spraying sugar beet plant with vigamax (amino acids) at 0.4 ml/L treatment induced
prospective effects on growth and root yield productivity.
