to study  the effect of powdery mildew on sugar beet yield and percentage of sugar losses sugar percent losses, ten genotypes were compared in a factorial  experiment based on  randomized complete block design with 3 replications and two factors. the first factor was spraying treatment with two levels and the second were genotypes. inoculation was carried out using the pathogens' conidial ...

The Dutch sugar industry and sugarbeet research initiated the project SUSY (Speeding Up Sugar Yield) as a reaction to the reform of the European Union sugar regime. The project was aimed at softening the reform’s impact on grower income by improving their knowledge on raising sugar yield and identifying possible cost savings. From each sugarbeet growing region in The Netherlands, 26 pairs of ‘t...

plant analysis is successfully used in monitoring nutritional status, recommending fertilizer rates and types, and maximizing fertilizer efficiency in sugar beet. diagnosis and recommendation integrated system (dris) is a comprehensive approach which does not have limitations of the critical value approach (cva) and sufficiency range approach (sra). over- dose application of fertilizer increase...

this study was conducted to determine the yield response factor (ky) of sugar beet to deficit irrigation at different growth stages. a field experiment was conducted in sharekord agricultural research station over two growing crop seasons (1996 -1997) using a randomized complete block design with three replications. plots were assigned to five levels of deficit irrigation treatments: e0 (full i...

in order to evaluate the effects of sub soiling and irrigation level treatments on yield of sugar beet and wheat in rotation, an experiment was conducted at agricultural research station ofwest azerbaijanprovince. the plots were arranged as a strip plot experiment in randomized complete block design with three replications. horizontal plot (sub soiling treatment) consisted of sub soiling depth ...

The reform of the European Union's sugar regime caused potential decreasing beet prices. Therefore, the Speeding Up Sugar Yield (SUSY) project was initiated. At the start, a 3 × 15 target was formulated: in 2015 the national average sugar yield in the Netherlands equals 15 t/ha (60% of the sugar beet potential) and the total variable costs 15 euro/t sugar beet, aspiring a saving on total variab...

The yield of sugar beet has continuously increased in the past decades. The question arises, whether this progress will continue in the future. A key factor for increasing yield potential of the crop is breeding progress. It was related to a shift in assimilate partitioning in the plant toward more storage carbohydrates (sucrose), whereas structural carbohydrates (leaves, cell wall compounds) u...

The discrepancies across test sites and years, along with the interaction between cultivar and environment, make it difficult to accurately evaluate the differences of the sugarcane cultivars. Using a genotype main effect plus genotype-environment interaction (GGE) Biplot software, the yield performance data of seven sugarcane cultivars in the 8th Chinese National Sugarcane Regional Tests were ...

BACKGROUND Variations in sugar yield due to genotypic qualities of feedstock are largely undescribed for pilot-scale ethanol processing. Our objectives were to compare glucose and xylose yield (conversion and total sugar yield) from straw of five winter wheat cultivars at three enzyme loadings (2.5, 5 and 10 FPU g-1 dm pretreated straw) and to compare particle size distribution of cultivars aft...
