Abstract
The production of sugar in Rgypt is mainly from sugarcane, which contributes about 90% from the total production of sugar, while the rest comes from sugurbect. Sugarbeet is shorter in growing season with less water consumption than sugarcane. Therefore, attention is paid nowadays towards increasing yield of sugarbeet. Irrigation and fertilization are two of the important factors affecting yield and quality of sugarbeet in the new areas. This study is carried out to evaluate the usage of sprinkler irrigation system compared with the surface irrigation method under different levels of nitrogen fertilization. The results indicated that the average seasonal water applied by sprinkler irrigation was 2982 in'1, while it was 3958m' by surface irrigation. Moreover, the root yield was 25.81 and 20.94 I/fed for sprinkler and surface irrigation respectively. Sprinkler irrigation resulted in higher root yield, sugar yield and water use efficiency (WUH) than surface irrigation. Also, for both systems of irrigation, increasing ihe level of N-fertilizer up to 60 kg N/fed was accompanied with significant increases in sugar yield and WUE, but under 75 kg N/fed, sugar yield decreases
