Abstract :This study was conducted in experiment fields of Konya Soil and Water Resources Research Institute at 2005 and 2006 years. In the study, different irrigation programmes was planned with regard to vegetative growth, root swelling and ripening period of sugar beet. The effects of this programmes on yield and water use of sugar beet was investigated. The study was conducted at randomized block with three replacements. In the study, 1123mm and 912 mm water were applied to full irrigated plot (control) at 2005 and 2006 respectively. As a result of the study, highest root yield for both years were obtained as 91605 kg/ha and 67963.0 kg/ha from full irrigated control treatment in both years respectively. Highest sugar yield was obtained from full irrigated control treatment in 2005 and from the treatment (VMR25) that is full irrigated at vegetative growth and swelling period but exposured deficit irrigation at ripening period (75% of a full irrigation) in 2006. Irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE) and water use efficiency (WUE) were found to be between 58.76 – 142.61 kg/ha–mm; kg/da– mm and30.10 - 99.96 kg/da–mm, respectively for the treatments studied.Keywords : Şeker pancarı, Kısıntılı sulama, Kök ve şeker verimi, Sulama suyu ve su kullanım randımanı
