Abstract

The influence of sugarbeet seed treatment and sowing distance in a row on field germination and sugarbeet stand were investigated. The trials were carried out in Podravina in a two years period. Three ways of seed treatment (polished, pelleted and incrusted seed) and three sowing distances (6, 12 and 18 cm) were investigated. After germination, a variant sown at 6 cm distance was thinned out at 18 cm and another variant sown at 12 cm was thinned out at 24 cm. Distance between the rows was 50 cm. The results showed that no variant of seed processing had significant influence on sugarbeet stand and field germination. Only insignificant higher field germination was with incrusted seed. Favourable weather conditions in the second year of trial, at the time of sowing brought to higher field germination for all seed processing variants. Also different variants of sowing distance showed no significant influence on field germination. However, significantly highest sugarbeet stand was at 6 cm of sowing distance and the lowest stand was at 18 cm of sowing distance without thinning.
