Abstract

Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is a globally significant crop, valued for its economic importance in sugar production. Saline-sodic soil environments negatively impact sugar beet productivity. This study investigates the effects of using compost, glauconite enriched-K and their combinations in mitigating the saline-sodic soil environment, sugar beet productivity and extracted sugar quality. A two-season field experiment in split-plot design with the main plots is three doses of compost: control (C0), recommended (100%) dose (C1) and 150% recommended dose (C2). Each group divided into four subplots of glauconite treatments arranged according to the recommended dose of potassium (K) as follows: G0 (no glauconite), G1 (50% K), G2 (100% K, 480 Kg glauconite Fed⁻¹) and G3 (150% K). The results showed that compost and glauconite mitigated adverse soil effects caused by salinity and sodicity. The C2G3 treatment reduced electrical conductivity (EC) and exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP), improved organic matter and enhanced soil bulk density, porosity and penetration resistance. This combination also increased soil nutrients (N, K, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu). Regarding the sugar beet yield, C2G3 improved root yield, top yield, sugar yield and extracted sugar. The application of glauconite increased root diameter by 20% and root length by 23%, enhanced sugar quality with minimal sugar losses to molasses (2.43%), and reduced impurities of K, α-amino N and Na. Principal component analysis showed positive correlations between root yield and soil potassium, organic matter, cation exchange capacity and soil porosity, with negative correlations to bulk density, EC, pH and ESP. Two-way analysis of main (ANOM) illustrated significant effects of compost and glauconite on soil–plant interactions. Multivariate analysis indicated that higher glauconite doses significantly enhanced root yield. The Gag run charts confirmed that compost (100%) and G3 levels explored more homogeneity reducing the ESP%, increasing sugar beet root yield, sugar yield and quality.

提高土壤韧性和甜菜产量：堆肥与褐藻土结合的中期效果

甜菜（Beta vulgaris L.）是一种具有全球意义的作物，在制糖业中具有重要的经济价值。盐碱化的土壤环境对甜菜的产量有负面影响。本研究调查了使用堆肥、高芒硝富集-K 及其组合对缓解盐碱土壤环境、甜菜生产率和榨糖质量的影响。两季田间试验采用分小区设计，主小区有三种堆肥剂量：对照（C0）、推荐剂量（100%）（C1）和推荐剂量（150%）（C2）。根据钾（K）的推荐剂量，每组又分为以下四个芒硝处理子小区：G0（无芒硝）、G1（50%钾）、G2（100%钾，480 千克芒硝Fed-1）和 G3（150%钾）。结果表明，堆肥和芒硝减轻了盐碱化对土壤的不利影响。C2G3 处理降低了导电率（EC）和可交换钠百分比（ESP），改善了有机质，提高了土壤容重、孔隙度和抗渗透性。这一组合还增加了土壤养分（氮、钾、铁、锰、锌和铜）。在甜菜产量方面，C2G3 提高了根产量、顶端产量、糖产量和提取的糖分。施用芒硝后，根的直径增加了 20%，根的长度增加了 23%，提高了糖的质量，糖蜜中糖的损失最小（2.43%），并减少了 K、α-氨基氮和 Na 的杂质。主成分分析表明，根产量与土壤钾、有机质、阳离子交换容量和土壤孔隙度呈正相关，与容重、EC 值、pH 值和 ESP 值呈负相关。双向主分析（ANOM）表明，堆肥和芒硝对土壤-植物相互作用有显著影响。多变量分析表明，芒硝剂量越大，根系产量越高。Gag run 图表证实，堆肥（100%）和 G3 水平可降低 ESP%，提高甜菜根产量、糖产量和质量。

期刊介绍： The effects of stress on crop production of agricultural cultivated plants will grow to paramount importance in the 21st century, and the Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science aims to assist in understanding these challenges. In this context, stress refers to extreme conditions under which crops and forages grow. The journal publishes original papers and reviews on the general and special science of abiotic plant stress. Specific topics include: drought, including water-use efficiency, such as salinity, alkaline and acidic stress, extreme temperatures since heat, cold and chilling stress limit the cultivation of crops, flooding and oxidative stress, and means of restricting them. Special attention is on research which have the topic of narrowing the yield gap. The Journal will give preference to field research and studies on plant stress highlighting these subsections. Particular regard is given to application-oriented basic research and applied research. The application of the scientific principles of agricultural crop experimentation is an essential prerequisite for the publication. Studies based on field experiments must show that they have been repeated (at least three times) on the same organism or have been conducted on several different varieties.
