This paper analyses the technological advances which have taken place on both the field and factory sides of sugar production in the past 30 years. It focuses on three leading sugar producers; Australia, France and South Africa. It finds that the greatest technological gains have been made in the beet sector (France). All three countries have improved the efficiency of their factory operations ...

to determine the role of fusarium species associated with sugar beet root  and crown rot, diseased samples were collected  from different fields of sugar beet in iran including khorasan, khuzestan west azarbayejan, qazvin, tehran, kermanshah ,kerman,lorestan ,hamedan,charmahal va bachtiary provinces during growing seasons 1999-2002. in total, 94 isolates of fusarium were obtained. based on morp...

root and crown rot of sugar beet caused by rhizoctonia solani ag2-2 is a destructive disease in the main sugar beet growing areas. use of resistant cultivars is the most effective and environmentally safe way to control the disease. in order to find resistant genotypes, 70 sugar beet lines together with resistant and susceptible checks were evaluated against a highly virulent isolate of r.solan...

abstract pomegranate (punica granatum l.) is an important iranian-native fruit, and many of its varieties are cultivated. this research was conducted to evaluate some of the major physical and chemical properties of six pomegranate cultivars at ripening stage in a completely randomized design with 4 replications. the investigated traits were fruit fresh weight, fruit volume, peel thickness, pee...

BACKGROUND: The use of agricultural waste as organic fertilizers is important for soil fertility and plants health production. OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study were to examine the effects of different types and rates of vermicompost on physiological and morphological properties of lettuce. METHODS: Present study was conducted acco...

sugar, which can be extracted from sugar cane and sugar beet, is one of the most important ingredients of food. conducting more research to increase the extraction efficiency of sugar is necessary due to high production of sugar beet and its numerous processing units in northern khorasan province. in this research, the effect of temperature, time and the frequency of ultrasonic waves on mechani...

The species Beta vulgaris encompasses wild and cultivated members with a broad range of phenological development. The annual life cycle is commonly found in sea beets (ssp. maritima) from Mediterranean environments which germinate, bolt, and flower within one season under long day conditions. Biennials such as the cultivated sugar beet (B. vulgaris ssp. vulgaris) as well as sea beets from north...

sugar beet as an industrial crop plays a main role in satisfying domestic demand of sugar. study on the production efficiency of sugar beet is important because this is a factor that influences production without additional cost. in this study, data envelopment analysis approach (dea), was implemented to calculate technical, administrative and scale efficiency of sugar beet production. also opt...
