Abstract

Many factors that influence the growth and quality of sugar beets behave in one way under one set of conditions and in quite another under other conditions. Consequently, these factors should be considered together under a dynamic situation to find their interrelations and their influence on sugar beet yield.

This study is a statistical analysis of the interaction of fertilizer and soil moisture potential with the yield of sugar beets grown in a crop rotation under different regimes of irrigation conducted over a period of seven years.

The data are available for the years 1949 through 1956, from an intensive field experiment conducted under Western Regional Research Project W-29, entitled Soil-Water-Plant Relations under Irrigation.

There is need of a complete statistical analysis of third order interaction for the whole cultural rotation. This third order interaction has been examined for the sugar beet crop grown in the seven years of the general cultural rotation, which includes peas, first year alfalfa, second year alfalfa, potatoes, and sugar beets.
