Abstract :This research was carried out to determine the weight and quality losses in the roots of sugar beet harvested. Trials were conducted at the field of Sugar Institute, Etimesgut Experimental Station, Ankara in 2013. Experiments were designed according to split plot in a randomized complete block with four replications. Experiments were planned in the roots of sugar beet harvested at different times and stored in silos. It is used two sugar beet cultivars insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Pauletta and Bison);. In this research; root yield insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(t ha-1);, sugar yield insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(t ha-1);, sugar content insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(%);, weight loses insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(%);, sodium, potassium and alpha-amino nitrogen insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(meq/100g); content, rafined sugar rate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(%);, dry matter percentage insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(%); were investigated. The highest root yield was obtained when the beets harvested for Pauletta on October 5 and for Bison on October 8. The lowest yield was obtained when the beets harvested on September 28 in both varieties. The weight-loss has been detected at a rate of 29,91 % in beets stored in field silos.
