To Evaluation the effects of different seed priming treatments on the quantity and quality of two sugar beet cultivars an experiment was carried out as factorial based on The Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications in the Agriculture and Natural Resources Research Center of West Azarbaijan province in 2015. Cultivar factor with 2 levels (Ekbatan and 7233) and seed priming with five levels (including hardening, nano priming and priming with pigeon manure extract, hydropriming and control) were studied. Root yield, plant number, sugar content, K, Na, N, alkalinity, sugar yield, raw juice purity, molasses sugar and dray matter traits were measured and assessed. Analysis of variance results indicated that there is significant difference between different priming levels in terms of root yield, plant number, sugar yield and content, molasses sugar, dry matter and alkalinity traits. The interaction of two studied factors (cultivar×priming) was not significant. Also the results showed the significant effect of the cultivar factor on raw juice purity, molasses sugar and dry matter traits. In general, it can be stated that water used in prime environment can be considered as one of the main reasons for superiority of treatments in terms of final yield.
