The reform of the European Union's sugar regime caused potential decreasing beet prices. Therefore, the Speeding Up Sugar Yield (SUSY) project was initiated. At the start, a 3 × 15 target was formulated: in 2015 the national average sugar yield in the Netherlands equals 15 t/ha (60% of the sugar beet potential) and the total variable costs 15 euro/t sugar beet, aspiring a saving on total variab...

in order to study the effect of solitary and combined application of two types of green manure, cow manure, barvar-2 phosphate fertilizer and conventional chemical fertilizer on some of the qualitative and quantitativeproperties of sugar beet, an experiment was conducted at the research farm of shahrekord university in 2013. the experimental design was randomized in a complete block design with...

Effective conversion of lignocellulosic material as renewable energy source has significant reflection on economic and environmental impact. Diluted acid hydrolysis at optimal condition was used to liberate fermentable sugar. The sorghum stalks, the alkali pretreatment of biomass and hydrolysis in diluted hydrochloric acid were investigated. The hydrolysis reaction was carried out in a 5L react...

Five Malaysian rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties, MR33, MR52, MR211, MR219, and MR232, were tested in pot culture under different salinity regimes for biochemical response, physiological activity, and grain yield. Three different levels of salt stresses, namely, 4, 8, and 12 dS m(-1), were used in a randomized complete block design with four replications under glass house conditions. The results...

Sorghum is one of the most promising bioenergy crops. Stem juice yield, together with stem sugar concentration, determines sugar yield in sweet sorghum. Bulked segregant analysis (BSA) is a gene mapping technique for identifying genomic regions containing genetic loci affecting a trait of interest that when combined with deep sequencing could effectively accelerate the gene mapping process. In ...

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...

objective: a field experiment was conducted at dorud region, iran, during 2013. the aim of this research  was study on effect of different biofertilizers and irrigation closed time on some agronomic characteristics of sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.). methods: the experimental design was factorial based on rcbd with three replications. treatments were three irrigation closed time [oct-6 (a1), oct-...

The study was conducted as open field trial, with irrigation, the Clery strawberry variety. aim of to investigate effect foliar application on berry and seaweed extract yield quality fruit (sugar, acid anthocyanin content). experiment set up by random block system in 4 repetitions. following treatments were applied crop: 1. control, 2. conventional NPK fertilization (10-52-10), 3. 30% reduced f...
