Number and percentage of forked sugarbeet roots, their influence on yield, and relationship with some meteorological factors and physical soil properties
1973
LEENHEER, L DE | APPELMANS, F.
A high percentage of forked sugarbeet roots is generally considered by farmers to indicate a poor soil structure. In Belgium this observation has been confirmed repeatedly, e.g., in studying soil capability classes for crops (Scheys 1950), soil structure deterioration (Simon 1952; De Leenheer 1958), influence of tillage on the growth of sugarbeet (Grégoire and Loumaye 1952), and so on. Similar observations have also been made in other contries (Hudig 1949; Pendleton 1950; Jorritsma 1952; Frese et al. 1955; Scott and Erickson 1964). In this paper the authors examine the extent to which this view is justified on the basis of 4 years of investigations.
