Yield of beet cultivars under fertigation management and salinity control in a protected environment
In a protected environment, applying excess fertilizer and using water with soluble salts cause soil salinization due to the absence of lixiviation by precipitation. Among commercial vegetables, beets (Beta vulgaris L.) have good tolerance to soil salinity, being a good option for growth under these...

The treatment consisted of a combination of the following factors: initial soil salinity (1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 dS m-1), fertigation management (traditional vs. control of ion concentration of the soil solution) and two beet cultivars (’Early Wonder’ and ’Itapua’) in a 5 x 2 x 2 factorial design.
