in this study, analysis of actual data collected from sugar beet hybrid monogerm seed producers in the 2001 growing season and laboratory seed samples showed that delay in steckling sowing resulted in the reduction of raw and pure sugar beet seed yield and the increase of undersize seed portion. non-significant effect of sowing dates on unkernel seed percent showed that the high temperatures wi...

Fungi associated with sugar beet cyst nematode (Heterodera schachtii Schmidt) in W. Azerbaijan were isolated from different stages during 2002-2004 and studied. Some 300 fungal isolates were obtained. In this paper, 16 species belonging to nine genera are identified. Among them, three species viz. Lecanicillium aphanocladii, Myrothecium verrucaria andPlectosporium tabacinum are as new records t...

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...

the effects of above and below-ground competition between chenopodium album and sugar beet (beta vulgaris) on growth, yield and quality of two sugar beet cultivars of morphologically contrasting growth habit have been investigated a factorial experiment (2 × 4) under glass-house conditions in a randomised complete block design with three replications was done. c. album and two sugar beet cultiv...

the main objective of this study is to investigate the comparative advantage for sugar beet production in iran. sugar beet is one of the main crops which is considered as an important resource for energy supply. the importance of sugar beet (as a sugar source) in iranian household food basket, price fluctuation and consumers' demand for sugar beet, social profitability and the impact of go...

Geminiviruses cause curly top disease, in dicotyledonous plants which constrains host crop production. Beet curly top Iran virus (BCTIV) is a widespread Becurtovirus (family Geminiviridae) in numerous areas within Iran. In this study, we isolated and analyzed a full-length genomic DNA of a new variant of BCTIV from pepper crops in the Kaftark region, east of Shiraz (proposed acronym: BCTIV-Kaf ...

This paper is the instructions for the proceeding of the International Symposium on Crop. Sugar beet crop models have rarely taken into account the morphogenetic process generating plant architecture despite the fact that plant architectural plasticity plays a key role during growth, especially under stress conditions. The objective of this paper is to develop this approach by applying the Gree...
