There is little information about the effects of ethephon ripening hormone on the yield of sweet sorghum in Thailand. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of ethephon hormone applied at different growth stages of three cultivars of sweet sorghum on its growth and yield. The experiment was conducted from December 2016 to May 2017 at a research plot of the Faculty of Agricultural Te...

in order to evaluate the effect of salinity on water relation, ion accumulation, solute sugar, proline content, chlorophyll florescence and seed yield of isabgul (plantago ovata), french psyllium (p. psyllium) and great plantain (p. major), an experiment was conducted at vali-e-asr university of rafsanjan in 2010. this study was carried out as factorial experiment based on randomized complete b...

the yield and quality features of raisin are affected by various factors especially har-vest date and dipping solutions. combinations of different harvest date (four harvest dates) and post harvest alkaline emulsion (three alkaline solutions) were tested in vitis vi-nifera l. cv ‘paycamy’ green raisin production in kashmar, khorasan province of iran. such raisin quantitative and qualitative cha...

abstract soil compaction is a main factor that reduces the cane yield in sugarcane fields, in southwest of iran, especially in ratoon cropping system. therefore, sub-soiling practices could alleviate adverse effects of compaction and increased yield. in according to this aim, a study was to evaluate the effect of  ratooning practice systems consisting of control (no subsoiler), two and four sha...

The Dutch sugar industry and sugarbeet research initiated the project SUSY (Speeding Up Sugar Yield) as a reaction to the reform of the European Union sugar regime. The project was aimed at softening the reform’s impact on grower income by improving their knowledge on raising sugar yield and identifying possible cost savings. From each sugarbeet growing region in The Netherlands, 26 pairs of ‘t...

determination of chlorophyll content and chlorophyll fluorescence has the potential needed to analyze the efficiency of photosynthesis in plants against environmental stresses, especially salinity, and its simplicity facilitates stress evaluation. in order to study the response of different photosynthetic characters to salinity stress at different sugar beet growth stages, two separate experime...

this study was conducted to determine the yield response factor (ky) of sugar beet to deficit irrigation at different growth stages. a field experiment was conducted in sharekord agricultural research station over two growing crop seasons (1996 -1997) using a randomized complete block design with three replications. plots were assigned to five levels of deficit irrigation treatments: e0 (full i...

BACKGROUND Variations in sugar yield due to genotypic qualities of feedstock are largely undescribed for pilot-scale ethanol processing. Our objectives were to compare glucose and xylose yield (conversion and total sugar yield) from straw of five winter wheat cultivars at three enzyme loadings (2.5, 5 and 10 FPU g-1 dm pretreated straw) and to compare particle size distribution of cultivars aft...

in order to evaluate the effects of sub soiling and irrigation level treatments on yield of sugar beet and wheat in rotation, an experiment was conducted at agricultural research station ofwest azerbaijanprovince. the plots were arranged as a strip plot experiment in randomized complete block design with three replications. horizontal plot (sub soiling treatment) consisted of sub soiling depth ...

in this paper price and non- price factors affecting the area of sugar beet cultivation was been studied, using a logarithmic model and a cross sectional data on 195 producers of sugar beet in khorasan province in 2003 producers were selected based on stratified random sampling method. results of study showed that percent of  sugar (an impostor), type of seed, yield of sugar beet in the last ye...
