Sugarbeet

• Growth small
• Foliage pale green,
• Older leaves yellow and die early

• Leaves dull
•  lusterless green
•  with occasional slight bronzing and purple spotting near margins

• Forward rolling of leaves and Ragged
• Leaves curled forward
• Margins scorched and ragged
• Hooking of young leaves, followed by death of growing point
• Advanced stage of acute deficiency  , Older leaves marginal scorch

 -

Sugar Beet Seed Stem

• Hooking of young leaves
• Death of growing point
• and failure to blossom.

a- Sugar Beet_(left) and Mangold_(right) Roots

• Forking and turning of roots in acid subsoil layer

b-Sugar Beet Plant

• Leaf margins slightly pale
• curled forward
• and scorched.

Sugar Beet Leaves

• Intervenal chlorosis
•  beginning at margins
• and progressing towards midrib
•  chlorosis followed by marginal and intervenal necrosis

-

·        Leaves narrow

·        Older leaves marginal

·        and intervenal scorch

·        They wither and collapse around plant.

·        Showing longitudinal lesions of petioles and midribs.

·        Older leaves severe marginal

·         intervenal browning and scorch

·        They shrivel and hang down limply

- -

·        Young leaves fine chlorotic mottling

·         later general chlorosis.

-

·        Leaves severe "Speckled Yellows"

·        and leaf margins curled forward

-

• Leaves strong chlorotic mottling.131
• Effects differ from manganese deficiency in growth habit of leaves

·        Growth stunted

·        Leaves dull green,

·        often with small necrotic areas near tips and margins

·        .Similar to phosphorus deficiency

·        Aluminium stops cell division during the "S Stage".  

Young Sugar Beet Plant

• Small and distorted crown leaves.
• Early stage of boron deficiency
• Young leaves distorted and fail to develop (expand)  

Sugar Beet, Old Plant

• Old leaves scorched and wilted, cluster of young crown leaves.
• Old leaves wilted, wilted, scorched and show patches of yellow pigment.
• Original crown leaves have died, followed by development of numerous small misshapen leaves from secondary growing points.

Sugar Beet Plant

• "Crown Rot" and death and distortion of young leaves
• older leaves cracking and distortion of laminae
•  yellow pigment formation and severe marginal scorch.

·        Growth stunted

·        younger leaves show chlorotic iron deficiency symptoms

·        followed by severe intervenal necrosis

·        Growth severely stunted

·        young leaves at early stage show chlorotic iron deficiency symptoms

·         quickly followed by severe intervenal necrosis and death

·        Growth severely stunted

·        young leaves show chlorotic iron deficiency symptoms

·        followed by severe intervenal necrosis.

·        Growth severely stunted

·         young leaves at early stage show chlorotic iron deficiency symptoms

·         quickly followed by severe necrosis

·        collapse and death

·        older leaves develop orange pigment.

·        Growth severely stunted

·        young leaves show chlorotic iron deficiency symptoms

·         followed by severe intervenal necrosis.

• Growth dwarfed
• leaves dull green
• and older leaves severe marginal and intervenal brown scorch
•  older leaves wither and hang down.
• Scorching generally similar to potassium deficience alone
•  but develops earlier and the effects are more severe

·        Manganese deficiency shown by speckled condition of leaves ("Speckled Yellows")

·        and boron deficiency by "Crown rot".

• Heart Rot (boron deficiency)
•  and Intervenal Chlorosis (manganese deficiency).
• Boron deficiency shown by "Crown Rot"
• manganese deficiency by speckled condition of leaves ("Speckled Yellows").
