to determine sugar beet water requirement and the effect of changing the quantity of applied water on some production components, a study was carried out in ekbatan agricultural research station of hamedān, iran in four years (1994-1997) during which optimum water requirement, root and sugar yield, water use efficiency on the basis of root yield, sugar percentage and water use efficiency on the...

in order to study the mode of genetic control and heritability of morphological characteristics important for the improvement of root weight, sugar yield and white sugar yield in tropical beet, griffing's diallel cross method along with the biplot display of diallel data were applied. nine sugar beet lines including 7112-36, 7173, 474, 452, 261, 436-104, sb-firoz, rr607 and 436 were crosse...

objective fungi produce many different carotenoids and some are attractive in medical and industrial sources. in this work the ability of mucor hiemalis (ptcc 5292) to produce carotenoids in media with different nitrogenous and carbon sources and incubation with white, yellow, blue and red lights (15w, 220v, e27) against dark-grown were studied. materials and method the microorganism cultivatio...

The potential of fungal pretreatment to improve fermentable sugar yields from wheat straw or Miscanthus was investigated. We assessed 63 fungal strains including 53 white-rot and 10 brown-rot fungi belonging to the Basidiomycota phylum in an original 12 day small-scale solid-state fermentation (SSF) experiment using 24-well plates. This method offers the convenience of one-pot processing of sam...

autumn planting of sugar beet as compared to its spring cultivation demands less application of water in semi-arid region such as iran. therefore, cultivation of sugar beet in autumn is considered as a better choice to be benefited from autumn and winter precipitation and escaping from water deficit crises. in two areas of aran-o-bidgol, esfahan (ae) and izeh, khuzestan (ik), two independent ex...

In a 3-year experiment (2002-2004), five N rates (0, 60, 120, 180, 240 kg N ha-1) were applied to sugar beets arranged in a Randomized Complete Block design with six replications. Experimentation took place under the semi-arid, irrigated conditions of central Greece. The aim of this work was to study the late season response of sugar beet crop to N fertilization as assessed by non-destructive m...
