sugar beet is one of the major products in qazvin plain that allocated most of planting areas to itself after wheat, barley and corn. in recent years, restriction on water resources decreased sugar beet planting area in this plain. therefore, in this study, the effects of increase in sugar beet planting area on planting pattern, grower's gross profit, and inputs utilization under water sho...

Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) and Beet soilborne mosaic virus (BSBMV) are members of the genus Benyvirus (9). Both viruses infect members of the family Chenopodiaceae, most notably sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.), and are transmitted by the plasmodiophorid, Polymyxa betae (1,2). BNYVV infection causes rhizomania disease in sugar beet (4,21); however, BSBMV infection does not (28). BSBMV...

this study was carried out in lorestan silakhoor plain  during 2001-2002. twenty soil properties from 25 profiles were evaluated. profiles studied were entisols and inceptisols. moreover, soil classification resulted in 5 subgroups, 8 families and 17 soil series. in the study, parametric land evaluation method was used. the strong correlation between the land index and observed yield (r = 0.55)...

ABSTRACT-Several herbicides are registered for selective weed control in sugar beet; however, no single chemical herbicide can control all weeds in beet fields. Frequently, two or more herbicides may have to be combined sequentially or as tank mixed to achieve adequate broad-spectrum weed control. In order to evaluate the effects of some combinations of broadleaf herbicides on sugar beet yield ...

four sugar beet genotypes with different reactions to root rot pathogens were evaluated for resistance to important root rot agents including pythium aphanidermatum, phytophthora drechsleri, rhizoctonia solani ag-2-2 and r. solani ag-4. inoculums for pythium and phytophthora were 3-5 day actively growing colony of the pathogens on cma medium, while for rhizoctonia isolates were nine infected co...

rhizomania (root madness) is caused by beet necrotic yellow vein virus (bnyvv). this disease was first reported fromitalyin 1959 and fromfars,iranin 1996. during the recent years, it has been increasingly developing across the country so that most beet production areas such as khorasan, fars, west azarbaijan,isfahanandkermanshahare now more or less affected by the disease. typically, the taproo...

this study was carried out in the general commission for scientific agricultural research (gcsar) at der ez zour agricultural research center, during 2009- 2010 growing seasons. the role of na+, k+, na+/k+, carbohydrates accumulation of leaves, and sugar content of roots on the osmotic adjustment was studied in 10 sugar beet genotypes (five were monogerms and five were multigerms), under salini...
