Trials of Dryland Fodder Beet in Cyprus
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 October 2008
Summary
Variety, spacing and harvesting date trials with fodder beet were carried out in Cyprus under rainfed conditions. The variety Polyrossa gave the highest dry matter (DM) yield, 12,906 kg/ha. Yield of DM increased linearly with population density to an optimum spacing of 45 × 20 cm. Yields of beet decreased slightly when harvested after 15 June and significantly when harvested after 29 August. Irrigation with saline water increased DM yields.
