Abstract :  ABSTRACT   Presented results are extended continuation study of earlier research insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2010–2012); on silicon fertilization effect and comes from the research that was conducted in 2013–2014 in the southeastern region of Poland, in Sahryń insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(50°41` N and 23°46` E);. Two variants of silicon foliar fertilization were tested in sugar beet, Danuśka KWS variety. Two kinds of silicon fertilizers insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Herbagreen Basic and Optysil); in 3 stages insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(in the stage of 4-6 sugar leaf, than a week and two weeks later);. One of the silicon fertilizer contained marine calcite and silicon insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Ca+Si); and the second one contained silicon insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Si); only. Seven variants of foliar fertilization including control variant were tested as total. Foliar fertilization regardless of the kind of fertilizer resulted in increases of: 1); the root yield insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(for Ca+Si variant 10.4–16.2% and for Si variant 13.7–15.9%);, 2); biological sugar yield insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(respectively 11.4–18.1% and 13.7–15.9%);, 3); technological sugar yield insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(respectively 12.2–17.7% and 12.2–15.6%); compared with the control variant. However the tested variants had no effect for technological root quality compared with the control. A tendencies to decrease content of sodium as a result of foliar fertilizations were observed only.   Keywords: Beta vulgaris L.; Biological sugar yield; Roots yield; Sugar content; Technological quality of roots.
