4.3.4 Water Productivity of Sugar Beet Under the Studied
Practices
Table 4.13 presented water productivity of sugar beet under the studied five production alternatives. It worth noting that the total production of sugar beet under traditional cultivation, as well as under raised beds cultivation and deficit irrigation
application with added new areas were produced using the same amount of applied
irrigation water under traditional cultivation.
