Abstract

An experiment was carried out during the period from October 2022 to April 2023 to investigate the effect of different mulching materials and fertilizers on sugar beet growth, yield, and quality. The experiment consisted of mulch materials: no mulch, black polythene mulch, and rice straw mulch; and four fertilizer treatment: control (no fertilizer), 100% RCF (recommended chemical fertilizer), 100% vermicompost @ 10 t/ha and 50% vermicompost @ 5 t/ha + 50% RCF. Treatment with 50% vermicompost + 50% inorganic fertilizer (RCF) produced significant results than other treatments. Among the mulch materials, black polythene performed better than the other mulch materials. Accordingly, 50% vermicompost + 50% inorganic fertilizer and black polythene mulch may be recommended to obtain better sugar beet yield and quality.
