1000 seed mass sugar beet as affected by harvesting date and plant density

Abstract

A large number of seed sugar beet plants produced a small 1000-seed mass. Conversely, a large 1000-seed mass was obtained with a small population. The harvesting dates and trial years proved highly significant in determining the 1000-seed mass of sugar beet. The largest 1000-seed mass was attained with populations of 127.000 and 85.000 plants on the third harvesting date. .
