considered to be the cleanest liquid fuel, bioethanol can be a reliable alternative to fossil fuels. it is produced by fermentation of sugar components of plant materials. the common onions are considered to be a favorable source of fermentation products as they have high sugar contents as well as contain various nutrients. this study focused on the effective production of ethanol from an endem...

Intensive cultivation of vegetables and imbalanced fertilization depleted the soil nutrients caused low yield with poor quality crops. A novel microbial enriched biochar fertilizer combination could alleviate nutrient stress. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted 14 treatments [4 levels (5, 7.5,10, 15 t ha-1), 3 doses fertilizers (50, 75,100% recommended) along without absolute control] i...

sustainable agriculture for producing food is not possible without optimal use of water resources. because of the limitation of water resources, deficit irrigation would be essential to increase water productivity. in order to evaluate the effects of deficit irrigation on quality and quantity of sugar beet, an experiment was carried out in a farm in miandoab agricultural research station for 2 ...

for continues production if field crops in arid and semi arid regions of the world, such as iran, beside of using of drought resistant varieties, water management must also be considered. in this context, the use of tape drip irrigation system could reduce the amount of irrigation water consumption. this study, was conducted to determine the best sowing pattern of sugar beet under type drip irr...

Field experiment was carried out during November 2006 to February 2007 under old alluvial soil to evaluate the impact of combined dose of chemical fertilizer, biofertilizer in combination with compost for the yellow sarson (Brassica campestries cv. B9) in a randomized block design replicated thrice. Various morpho-physiological parameters viz., plant population, length of shoot and root, leaf a...

An efficient three-step synthesis of d-mannoheptulose was successfully accomplished from 2,3,4,5,6-penta-O-benzyl-d-mannose. First, an olefinated sugar was prepared from 2,3,4,5,6-penta-O-benzyl-d-mannose via a Wittig reaction. Second, the key step, a 2-hydroxyoxirane product was unexpectedly obtained by oxidation of the olefinated sugar with potassium permanganate in aqueous acetone. Finally d...

in order to investigate the effects of saline waters on some soil characteristics, this experiment was conducted with three irrigation water salinity treatments contains 1.7-3.4, 8-9 and 11-12.5 dsm-1 (low, medium and high salinity) and two irrigation water managements with four replications in a wheat-fallow-sugar beet-safflower rotation. results show that in (1) irrigation management with low...
