Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) is a biennial plant that requires a cold period in order to induce flowering, a process called vernalization. The period of vernalization required to induce flowering can vary by genotype (between 90-120 days). Holding beets in cold storage (4C) at high humidity (95%) is expensive and labor intensive, requiring specialized equipment and multiple fungicide applications...

Three soilborne viruses transmitted by Polymyxa betae KESKIN in sugar beet have been described: Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV), the agent of rhizomania, Beet soilborne virus (BSBV), and Beet virus Q (BVQ). A multiplex reverse transcription-PCR technique was developed to simultaneously detect BNYVV, BSBV, and BVQ, together with their vector, P. betae. The detection threshold of the test...

this study aimed to modify the current purchase formula of sugar beet into a formula with different coefficients with respect to sugar percentage of autumn sugar beet. ahvaz sugar factory was selected as an autumn sowing factory in iran and 163 samples were randomly taken at different delivery times in 2007 (28th april to 27th june).  from each truck, one sample was taken and sugar content, wat...

Sugar beet crop has recently become the first source of sugar production in Egypt, followed by cane. The tortoise beetle,

Following another person’s gaze in order to achieve joint attention is an important skill in human social interactions. This paper analyzes the gaze following problem and proposes a learning-based computational model for the emergence of gaze following skills in infants. The model acquires advanced gaze following skills by learning associations between caregiver head poses and positions in spac...

A lot of work has been done extracting depth from image sequences, and relatively less has been done using only single images. Very little has been done merging these together. This paper describes the fusing of depth estimation from two images, with monocular cues. The paper will provide an overview of the stereo algorithm, and the details of fusing the stereo range data with monocular image f...

objective: many agronomic practices may need to be adjusted to maximize yield and quality of sugar beet. thus agronomic package must be always modified. this sutdy was laid out for evaluation of changes in carbohydrates and sugar yield in sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.) under different biofertilizers and irrigation closed time at dorud region of iran, during 2013. methods: the experimental design...

Today climate change is one of the most important human concerns This fact affected human life in different ways .  one of the most important impacts of climate change is on crops yield so that change in temperature  regime  particularly maximum and minimum  temperatures  is noticeably change plants production . in this research , is considered to  impact of climate change on water requirement ...
