Influence of Plant Density and Nitrogen Fertilizer Rates on Yield and Yield Components of Beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.)

Table 1

Combined analysis of variance showing mean squares for root yield and other parameters of beetroot influenced by plant density and nitrogen fertilizer rates.

Source variation	Mean square
	Root yield	Root fresh weight	Root length	Root diameter	Total soluble solute
Plant density (PD)	10.956	3318.92	193.08	3.813	18.271
Nitrogen (N)	35.806	237.28	218.75	9.220	1.646
PD ∗ N	0.786	5.21^ns	10.49	0.331^ns	0.048^ns
Error	0.258	39.37	3.59	0.173	0.062
CV %	7.49	11.33	4.3	7.18	3.61

Where, CV stand for Coefficient of Variation; stand for significance at P < 0.01, respectively; NS stands for non-significant at P < 0.05.
