Sugar beet is the second most important sugar crop next to sugarcane. Sugar from sugar beet is possible to obtain from leaves, slices from roots and molasses, which are valuable as animal feed. Balanced crop nutrition could enhance crop and sugar yields. Manure is also important for sugar beet yield because of containing all macro and micro nutrients required for plant growth but in small amount. Farm yard manure increased the sugar yield by 10 percent. There is no denying the need of using chemical fertilizers and adopting multiple cropping to meet the growing demand of food, but the farmers should at the same time be encouraged to use more organic fertilizers along with the chemical ones to recover the soil health. Combined application of manure with inorganic fertilizers increased yield and quality of various crops. Cow dung and poultry manure are the excellent soil amendment that provides nutrients for growing crops and also improves soil health. From the experiment, it can be concluded that sugar beet variety PAC-60008 fertilized with 75% recommended dose of NPK and other inorganic fertilizer+poultry manure @ 2.5 ton per hectare appeared as the promising combination in terms of beet yield.
