turnip mosaic virus (tumv), cauliflower mosaic virus (camv) and beet western yellow virus (bwyv) are considered as the most important viruses of canola, worldwide. in order to determine the distribution of these viruses in golestan province, samples from three important canola growing areas of the province were collected during 2008 and 2009. the randomly collected samples were tested for the p...

The planthopper Pentastiridius leporinus (Hemiptera: Cixiidae) is the major vector of a nonculturable plant-pathogenic gamma-3 proteobacterium associated with a disease of sugar beet called syndrome "basses richesses" (SBR). The bacterium, here called SBR bacterium, belongs to the Arsenophonous clade, which includes mostly insect-associated facultative symbionts. Assays using field-collected pl...

During the latter part of 1975 an investigation was conducted in the Natal Midlands to locate sites, representative of the main bioclimatic subregions, that would be suitable for sugar beet experiments. Soil acidity was identified as an important limiting factor in the majority of soils examined. A glasshouse study with sugar beet revealed a marked response to lime where soil pH values were les...

abstract isolates of rhizoctonia spp., obtained from sugar beet roots and crowns with dry rot symptoms that had been collected from various sugar beet production regions in khorasan razavi province during 2008 and 2009, were investigated in this research. characterization by conventional techniques and molecular methods using species-specific primers was carried out. results showed that from 36...

Broiler chickens were fed on a control diet based on maize or on diets including conventionally-dried (standard pulp) or vacuum-dried (Fipec pulp) sugar-beet pulp at inclusion levels of 23, 46 and 92 g/kg. Diets were fed ad lib. except for half of the chickens fed on the control diet which were fed twice daily at a restricted level. Although not statistically significant, chickens given the 23 ...

UNLABELLED SUMMARY Taxonomy: There are three members of the genus Polerovirus (family Luteoviridae) that induce yellowing of sugar beet: Beet mild yellowing virus (BMYV), Beet chlorosis virus (BChV) and Beet western yellows virus-USA (BWYV-USA, Fig. 1). Non-beet-infecting isolates of BWYV found particularly within Europe have now been re-named Turnip yellows virus (TuYV). Species-specific antib...

Sugar and fodder beet were grown in three years to assess the potential sugar yield for ethanol production in the region. Fresh weight root yields ranged from 70-85 t/ha for sugar beet and 55-136 t/ha for fodder beet. Sugar contents averaged 15% for sugar beet and 10117o for fodder beet resulting in sugar yields of 10-12 t/ha and 5-12 t/ha respectively. Consistently higher sugar yield from suga...

in order to investigate the relationships of some morphological traits at the early stages of three sugar beet cultivars with final yield at varying levels of water regines, a field experiment was carried out in karaj, and mashhad, in 2001-2003.  the objective of this study was to find the relation of some morphological traits of three sugar beet genotypes (7219-p.69, bp-karaj and 7112)  during...
