Nutrition and Fertilisation of Beetroot Plants

This book was developed based on bibliographic research with the aim of providing information on the nutrition and fertilisation of beetroot plants. The work covers information on phenological characteristics nutritional requirements and nutrient accumulation evaluation of nutritional status nutrient contents symptoms of deficiency and nutritional toxicity effect of liming and nutrients on the crop and liming and fertilisation. The information contained in this work may assist producers regarding the nutritional requirements of the crop in the correct quantities and at the correct times. One of the tools used in balancing fertilisers is the nutrient uptake pattern expressed in the form of curves as a function of plant age. Thus knowledge of the nutrition and fertilisation of the beetroot plant will allow an increase in productivity and the appropriate management of the crop over the years.
