Sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) root quality has decreasedsince the early 1950's in most sugarbeet-growingareas (2). This decrease is generally associated with increasednitrogen (N) fertilizer use which results in decreasedsucrose concentration and increased impurities inthe roots (13). Decreased root sucrose concentration withN application is generally attributed to the tops becomingthe dominant photosynthate sink at the expense of theroots (12). Increased impurities may result from manyfactors, but are generally associated with higher N uptakethat increases the nonsucrose, soluble solids (2,17).Potassium (K) fertilization of sugarbeets is generallynot recommended in the intermountain areas of the westernUnited States because of the general K abundance in thesoils and irrigation water (6,8) and the lack of plant responseto K fertilizer in numerous unpublished field experiments.Both K, an essential element for plant growth,and sodium (Na), a non-essential element (28), are takenup in large quantities by sugarbeets. The uptake rate andtotal uptake of these elements depends upon N uptake,plant growth, availability of these elements, year, andgenotype grown (1,8,15,17,30).
