Conventional procedures are inadequate for optimizing the concentrations ofnutrients to increase the sugar yield. In this study, an artificial neural network(ANN) was used to optimize the Ca, Mg, N, K and Na content of the storage rootto increase sugar yield (Y) by increasing both sugar content (SC) and root yield(T). Data from three field experiments were used to produce a wide range ofvariati...

in semiarid regions of iran, one of the crop production management methods is delayed irrigation after emergence. this is due to simultaneous water requirement of cereal and spring season crops. a field study was conducted in kabootarabad research station to investigate the effect of delayed irrigation on root yield, quality and growth trend using a rcb with four replications. the irrigation tr...

this study was conducted in split plot design based on a randomized complete block design in naghadeh region, urmia, iran in 2009-10. two sowing patterns including a1) single row planting with 50 cm between-row spacing, and a2) two rows planting on the hill with 40 cm distance and 50 cm between-row spacing (40×50) were allocated to main plots and four furrow compactions including b1) control, b...

resistance of 16 sugar beet cultivars to cercospora leaf spot was evaluated in ghaemshahr region. the experiment was conducted in a complete block design with six replications and disease severity of cultivars was measured two times. as a winter crop the root yield of cultivars and their disease severity compared under natural cercospora infection in dezfoul area in a complete block design with...

models can be used to predict crop yield and inputs levels such as fertilizer, in order to conduct programming for the management of probable future crisis. in this study, based on the model, the effect of nitrogen fertilizer on dry matter partitioning in shoot and root of sugar beet was predicted. for model construction, data were collected from an experiment conducted in karaj city in 2001. i...

in the present experiment, the effects of nitrogen and phosphor fertilizer application in two methods of furrow and trickle irrigation on the yield and quality of sugar beet seed cultivar 7233 were studied. the experiment was conducted as a split factorial in a completely randomized block design with three replications during 2003 and 2004 in hamedan province. main plots were allocated to irrig...

limited information is available on water and nitrogen (n) management of sugarcane (saccharum officinarum l.) in khuzestan, southwestern iran, where this crop is currently and extensively grown under heavy irrigation and n fertilization. therefore, a field experiment was conducted from september 2000 to march 2002 at the research department of karoon agro-industry in khuzestan to determine the ...

in order to evaluate effects of iron, zinc and manganese, and the methods of applying them on yield and yield components of sweet corn (zea mays saccharata), an experiment was performed as factorial based on randomized complete block design with four replications at the research farm of urmia university. experimental factors were micronutrient fertilizers with four levels (control, iron, zinc a...

this study was carried out in lorestan silakhoor plain  during 2001-2002. twenty soil properties from 25 profiles were evaluated. profiles studied were entisols and inceptisols. moreover, soil classification resulted in 5 subgroups, 8 families and 17 soil series. in the study, parametric land evaluation method was used. the strong correlation between the land index and observed yield (r = 0.55)...
