Abstract
During the 2021–2022 and 2022–2023 seasons, two experiments were conducted in El-Baqulia village, El-Mansoura district, Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt, to explore the impact of foliar spraying utilizing anti-stress treatments i.e. amino acids at 1000, 2000 and 3000 ppm, cytokinin at 2, 3 and 4 ppm and salicylic acid at 1000, 2000 and 3000 ppm in comparing to control (without any treatment) on sugar beet efficiency and quality measures under various sowing dates (1st Sept., 1st Oct. and 1st Nov.). Each planting date performed in a distinct experimentation. Each field experimentation of sowing dates achieved in a completely randomized block design in three replicates. Intermediate sowing date of sugar beet on 1st Oct. yielded the greatest estimates of yield components, quality issues and root, top and corrected sugar yields/fad compared to other studied sowing dates for each season. Generally, the highest mean estimates of yield components, quality parameters and root, top and corrected sugar yields/fad occurred under the application of amino acids in the form of K-amino at 3000 ppm as a foliar spraying. Therefore, planting sugar beet on 1st Oct. under foliar application of amino acids at 3000 ppm twice after 50 and 70 days from planting could be suggested in order to get the best quality and productivity measures considering the Dakahlia Governorate's environmental conditions in Egypt.
