to determine the effects of different irrigation and salinity levels on qualitative and quantitative yield of sugar beet, an experiment was conducted for two years (2006-07)at torogh agricultural research center, mashhad, iran, using two sprinkler systems. each of the two irrigation systems was connected to two water sources with 1 and 6 ds/m salinity. irrigation was performed via two sprinkler...

sugar beet is one of the main crops in iranthat provides primary materials for sugar industries and so, its economic aspects are very important. one of these aspects is employment; it has begged to draw policy maker attentions. nevertheless, there hasnot been any survey study on this matter in iranyet. in this study, the current value of labor use in sugar beet cultivation (direct employment) i...

The options and prospects for the direct production of white sugar in a cane sugar mill are reviewed. Plantation white sugar has been made for many years in some countries but cannot meet the requirements for refined sugars. These low colour sugars are now a popular quality raw sugar for the increasing number of destination refineries. Attainment of refined sugar standards needs the application...

Water is a major constituent of food products even if it is present at a trace level as in white crystalline sugar. Molecular interactions between sugar and water are at the origin of structural as well as mechanical properties (density, compressibility, flow) of bulk sugar. Conditioning of white sugar is therefore difficult because it is sensitive to relative humidity and temperature of surrou...

in order to study the effect of sowing date and plant density on some quantitative traits and yield of sugar beet genotypes a field experiment was carried out at sugar beet seed production research station of karaj in 2006. treatments arranged in a split, split plot experiment based on completely randomized block design with four replications. the main factors were two sowing dates as 14 april ...

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...

abstract this study was carried out in farm of dehkhoda institute (2013-2014). the study was done as randomized complete blocks design with five potassium sulfate amounts (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 kg/ha) and four replications. according to results, potassium affected the number of stalk numbers, yield, and the amount of obtainable sugar (p<0.01) and purity (p<0.05). the highest stalk numbers (18...

in order to study the effects of magnetic field, silver nano particles and micronutrient fertilizers on sugar beet, an experiment was conducted at razavi research and technology institute, mashhad, iran. experiment carried out with seven treatments based on randomized complete block design with three replications. treatments included (t1) magnetic field and silver nano particles + kemira fertil...

The yield of sugar beet has continuously increased in the past decades. The question arises, whether this progress will continue in the future. A key factor for increasing yield potential of the crop is breeding progress. It was related to a shift in assimilate partitioning in the plant toward more storage carbohydrates (sucrose), whereas structural carbohydrates (leaves, cell wall compounds) u...
