Molasses formation from beet sugar liquors has had the attention of technologists for more than 100 years. Its formation in the factory is dependent on many factors but probably the most important variables are the effect of some non-sug-ars In decreasing the rate of crystallization and others in increasing the solubility of sucrose in the molasses solution. Since equilib­ rium between crystall...

Herbivorous insects are characterized by a great diversity of host plant associations, yet, the processes driving host range evolution are not fully understood. When herbivores encounter a novel host, local selection pressures are expected to shape traits that mediate plant–insect interactions. I show that a leafmining fly, Amauromyza flavifrons (Meigen) (Diptera: Agromyzidae), suffers a profou...

the root pulling force as well as the amount of transferred soil have not been reported quantitatively for various sugar beet types. this study was designed to measure the amounts of transferred soil from farm and estimate the root pulling force among sugar beets populations with different root shapes at harvest time. the experiment was conducted as a split plot with a randomized complete block...

Spent lime is a by-product of the sugar beet sugar purification process. It is generated by heating mined calcium carbon limestone to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. These two products are injected into the thick juice (from the sugar beet processing) and reforms calcium carbonate. When the calcium carbonate reforms it captures or adsorbs many of the impurities in the juice and precipita...

the sugar beet weevil, lixus incanescens boh., is an important insect pest of sugar beet, beta vulgaris l., in razavi khorasan province. in this research, population densities of the sugar beet weevil eggs and larvae were evaluated on plants of six sugar beet cultivars including ardabili, aras, persia, flores, laetitia and rosire in an experimental field in 2011 and 2012. also, the percentage o...

the purpose of this study is determining the factors affecting timeliness of machine operation at different stages of sugar beet production. farm-level data were collected from a sample of 227 sugar beet farmer located in three major districts of farsprovince ofiran: eghleed, marvdasht and fasa, selected by a random sampling method during 2006. for this purpose, the probit model was used. the r...

Rhizoctonia root and crown rot is an important disease problem in sugar beet caused by Rhizoctonia solani and also shown to be associated with Leuconostoc spp. Initial Leuconostoc studies were conducted with only a few isolates and the relationship of Leuconostoc with R. solani is poorly understood; therefore, a more thorough investigation was conducted. In total, 203 Leuconostoc isolates were ...
