Abstract:
An estimate of net primary productivity of sugar beet fields has been made by measuring yield as determined by the harvest method. Mortality of shoot tissue had also been taken into account. Paired-plots method was used for determination of dead organic material of shoots. Net primary productivity of various plant-parts was calculated by the product of their calorific values and yield. Addition of these values gave total net primary productivity for the crop. it was found that the net primary productivity of sugar beet fields during its growing period (15 October 1978 to May 1979) was 4672.14 '
