water stress is one of the main factors affecting the quantity and quality properties of sugar beet. the objective of this experiment was to study the effect of irrigation management on quality and quantity of sugar beet. the present research was conducted in motahary station of sugar beet seed institute,karajin two years, 2005 and 2006. the experiment was based on split plot design, in which e...

in this study, total factor productivity(tfp) growth of sugar beet in iran during 1989-1990 through 2007-2008 was analyzed, using nonparametric malmquist approach. so, amounts of inputs usage including seeds, fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides, labor, water use and acreage in one hand and output of sugar beet production on the hand were taken into account. results showed that sugar beet prod...

Molasses is a significant by-product of sugar beet or sugar cane refining industry. In this work, the effects of storage temperature and packaging on the contents of free amino acids (AAs) in sugar beet and sugar cane molasses after freeze drying were inquired. The effect of different variables such as, temperature (4 and 25˚C) and light (Metallized polypropylene container and Normal polypropyl...

as an industrial crop, sugar beet plays an important role in meeting domestic demand for sugar. given the higher level of imported sugar iniran, the application of protectionist policies is an approach for supplying required sugar. one of these policies is technological improvement. in order to study the effect of this policy, sugar beet supply and demand equations in 1971-2008 were fitted by t...

BACKGROUND Intermediates from processing sugar beets are considered an attractive feedstock for ethanol fermentation due to their high fermentable sugar content. In particular, medium prepared from raw sugar beet juice seems to be suitable for use in fermentation processes, but it is microbiologically unstable and requires sterilization. RESULTS This study investigates the effect of ozone tre...

Using potted sugar beet plants we aimed to investigate the suitability of four fluorescence indices to detect and differentiate the impact of nitrogen supply, water deficit and powdery mildew in two sugar beet cultivars (Beta vulgaris L.). Plants were grown inside a polytunnel under two nitrogen levels combined with water deficit or full irrigation. Changes in plant physiology were recorded at ...

We are investigating a novel application of a thermally-tolerant plant pectin methylesterase (TTPME) to improve energy efficiency in sugar beet processing. Sucrose diffusion from cossettes occurs in water heated to about 70°C, the optimal temperature for TT-PME activity. Drying pulp is necessary to stabilize it for storage and commercialization as animal feed, but this consumes up to 30% of tot...

ABSTRACT- A detailed understanding of crop rooting systems will facilitate water use reduction, optimized nutrient uptake and irrigation scheduling more efficiently. A field experiment was conducted during 2005-2006 to investigate sugar beet rooting depth growth, irrigated with three irrigation methods (subsurface drip, surface drip and furrow) and two water qualities (recycled wastewater: EC= ...

Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) is a member of the genus Benyvirus (21,22) and causes the disease known as rhizomania. It often is reported to be the most important sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) virus (17). BNYVV is transmitted by the plasmodiophorid, Polymyxa betae Keskin (1,2,6). In the United States, the virus first was identified in California in 1984 (5) but now occurs in every maj...
