Summary

Variety, spacing and harvesting date trials with fodder beet were carried out in Cyprus under rainfed conditions. The variety Polyrossa gave the highest dry matter (DM) yield, 12,906 kg/ha. Yield of DM increased linearly with population density to an optimum spacing of 45 × 20 cm. Yields of beet decreased slightly when harvested after 15 June and significantly when harvested after 29 August. Irrigation with saline water increased DM yields.
