Abstract

To determine suitable sugar beet planting methods in saline soils, an experiment was conducted in a Randomized Complete Block Design with six replications in the field of Roodasht Research Station in Isfahan for two years. In this study, four planting methods: row planting in plot (control), two-row planting on ridges, planting in on-ridge furrows, and planting in furrowed plots were randomized in the plots, by using of 7233-P29*MSC2 varieties. The highest plant density root and sugar yields and white sugar yield were belonged to were achieved from row planting in plot and planting in furrowed plots, that were significantly different from the others. In addition, row planting in plot and planting in furrowed plots is recommended as suitable sugar beet cultivation in saline soils. Preparation of planting beds in vast areas of the region, will be viable due to the cultivation equipment availability.
