Abstract: Abstract Foliar sprays with N6-(m-hydroxybenzyl)adenosine, (mOH)-[9R]BAP, one of the synthetic cytokinins, were applied to field-gown sugar beet twice during the vegetation period: before full canopy closing (/), 6 weeks before harvest (1/) or both. Application of (mOH)[9R]BAP retained high cytokinin content that usually declines prior to harvest. The total content of isoprenoid cytokinins at harvest was 2.6-fold higher in (mOH)[9R]BAP-treated plants as compared to the controls. Treatment I had no significant effect on contents of chlorophylls (Chl) a and b and carotenoids, nor on the rates of net photosynthesis (PN) or photorespiration (RL) , or on CO 2 compensation concentration (F) measured during the whole vegetation period on detached leaves under optimum environmental conditions. Increased values in PN, RE and Chl a and b contents were found in variants//and 1+11 linked with a delay in leaf senescence before harvest. Transpiration rate and stomatal conductances of adaxial and abaxial epidermes were not significantly affected by any treatment.
