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...

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...

It is well-established in Arabidopsis and other species that ethylene inhibits root elongation through the action of auxin. In sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) ethylene promotes root elongation in a concentration dependent manner. However, the crosstalk between ethylene and auxin remains unknown during sugar beet seedling development. Our experiments have shown that exogenously applied auxin (indo...

AIM An environment compatible technique to stain Platyhelminthes, Fasciola gigantica, Gastrothylax crumenifer, Taenia solium, and Moniezia expansa using aqueous and alcoholic extract of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris), China rose (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis), and red rose (Rosa hybrida) were described to minimized the deleterious effects of the synthetic dyes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Aqueous/ethanolic e...

crop yield estimation is one of the most important parameters for information and resources management in precision agriculture. this information is employed for optimizing the field inputs for successive cultivations. in the present study, the feasibility of sugar beet yield estimation by means of machine vision was studied. for the field experiments stripped images were taken during the growt...

monogerm and multigerm seed varieties are used in sugar beet cultivation. singling is inevitable and mechanization almost impossible when multigerm seed varieties are used. for this and for some other reasons, economically sound and fully mechanized cultivation of sugar beet calls for the use of monogerm seed varieties. throughout europe, only monogerm varieties are used in sugar beet productio...

American sugar beet farmers produce half of our domestic refined sugar valued at over $3 billion per year (APHIS, 2010). The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (CA District Court) will soon determine whether U.S. farmers can continue to grow genetically modified (GM) sugar beet (Beta vulgaris ssp vulgaris var altissima) in the case of Center for Food Safety v. Vilsack (...

This study tests the effect of glyphosate application on disease severity in glyphosate-resistant sugar beet, and examines whether the increase in disease is fungal or plant mediated. In greenhouse studies of glyphosate-resistant sugar beet, increased disease severity was observed following glyphosate application and inoculation with certain isolates of Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn and Fusarium oxys...
