Key Points

The aim is to determine how different nitrogen levels affect the growth and yield of beet root.
Conducted a field experiment with factorial randomized block design.
Used twelve treatment combinations with four nitrogen levels and three plant geometry treatments.
Replicated the experiment three times.
60 kg of nitrogen significantly increased plant height to 42.47 cm.
Yield per plot reached 26.16 kg with a total yield of 261.60 q.
Chlorophyll content improved to 5.14 mg/100 g.

Abstract

AbstractA field experiment was conducted to study the effect of nitrogen on growth and yield of beet root (Beta vulgaris) during rabi season 2020-21 at S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner (Rajasthan). The experiment consisted of Twelve treatment combinations including four nitrogen levels (control, 30 kg N/ha, 60 kg N/ha and 90 kg N/ha) and three treatments of plant geometry (15 cm x 10 cm, 30 cm x 10 cm and 45 cm x 10 cm) were under taken in a factorial randomized block design with three replications. The application of 60 kg nitrogen was significantly. However, 60 kg nitrogen significantly increased plant height (42.47 cm), No. of leave plant (16.53 cm leaf area, (cm2) (1.05), chlorophyll content (mg/100 g) (5.14g), yield per plot (26.16 kg), yield (261.60 q), net return (Rs/ha) 174 601.21/ ha and B: C ratio (2.01)
