to evaluate general and specific combining ability for resistance to bolting and cercospora leaf spot, 36 hybrids derived from crosses between 9 sugar beet lines along with four checks were planted in safiabad agricultural research center (dezful) in 2008-2009. the experimental design was a triple lattice design with three replications. analysis of variance showed significant differences among ...

to determine sugar content and root yield variation of new sugar beet hybrids under different irrigation levels, an experiment was carried out at zarghan agricultural research station offars agricultural and natural resources research center, shiraz, iran. the study was conducted as split block based on a randomized complete block design with three replications for two years, 2009-10, using lin...

in some regions of isfahan, although there is no soil and water salinity limitations, quality of sugar beet root is very low because of using high amount of irrigation water. a study was conducted to determine the relation between low irrigation and quality and quantity of sugar beet. in this study, a line source irrigation system for six water use treatments (from 10770 to 8554 m3/hec) was use...

short growing season in cold regions is an important factor in not achieving a maximum root yield in sugar beet crop. in an investigation on possible ways to limit the effect of short season culture on the crop, six harvest dates and three sugar beet varieties were considered. the experiment was conducted as a factorial with randomized complete block design in three replications, from 1996-1998...

ABSTRACT-Several herbicides are registered for selective weed control in sugar beet; however, no single chemical herbicide can control all weeds in beet fields. Frequently, two or more herbicides may have to be combined sequentially or as tank mixed to achieve adequate broad-spectrum weed control. In order to evaluate the effects of some combinations of broadleaf herbicides on sugar beet yield ...

water is the most important factor for agriculture development in iran. accordingly the optimal consumptione of water is very important. using pressurized irrigation system is one of the methods to improve agricultural water management. the objecttives of this research were to compare two irrigation methods of furrow and trickle irrigation systems impacts on quantity and quality characters of s...

eight pollinators (as pollen parents) and four cms lines (as seed parents) differing in salinity and drought tolerance were evaluated using agro-morphological traits and microsatellite markers. root yield, leaf weight, sugar content, sodium content (na+), potassium content (k+), a-amino nitrogen content, alkalinity coefficient, molasses sugar, white sugar content, extraction coefficient of suga...

water and soil salinity in some regions of isfahan, east azerbaijan, and west azerbaijan provinces and also other parts of the iran are the main hindrance for crop planting. seeds of the tolerant crops to salinity such as cotton and sugar beet may have optimal germination and give acceptable performance if they become far from salt accumulation areas. to evaluate the effects of different planti...
