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...

Responses among experimental units vary due to many different causes, known and unknown. The process of the separation and comparison of sources of variation is called the Analysis of Variance (AOV). The process is more general than the t-test as any number of treatment means can be simultaneously compared. The sugar beet experiment discussed in Chapter 5 and 6 involved six rates of nitrogen fe...

In sugar beet seedling period and sugar accumulation period, the quantity of NR-mRNA raised with the rate of nitrate nitrogen and ammonium nitrogen raised, and the activity of NR raised also, that was the quantity of NR-mRNA of NO3/NH4 —4:0 was the highest. In phyllome formation period and root growth period, the quantity of NR-mRNA of NO3/NH4—3:1 was the highest, and its activity was the highe...

Both structural and functional properties of belowground plant organs are critical for the development and yield of plants but, compared to the shoot, much more difficult to observe due to soil opacity. Many processes concerning the belowground plant performance are not fully understood, in particular spatial and temporal dynamics and their interrelation with environmental factors. We used Magn...

hargraves-samani method is one of the methods for calculating plant evapotranspiration that needs minimum meteorological data. in order to evaluate et-hs model in determining sugar beet crop water demand in isfahan, an experiment was conducted at research field of department of agriculture, khorasgan branch, islamic azad university, isfahan, iranin 2005. the study was based a randomized complet...

Large amounts of waste biomass are generated in sugar factories from the processing of sugar beets. After diffusion with hot water to draw the sugar from the beet pieces, a wet material remains called pulp. In this study, waste sugar beet pulp biomass was enzymatically depolymerized, and the obtained hydrolyzates were subjected to fermentation processes. Bioethanol, biomethane, and biohydrogen ...

Objective: A field experiment was conducted at Dorud region, Iran, during 2013. The aim of this research  was study on effect of different biofertilizers and irrigation closed time on some agronomic characteristics of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.). Methods: The experimental design was factorial based on RCBD with three replications. Treatments were three irrigation closed time [Oct-6 (...

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 ...

The reducing sugar content of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) roots increased during 30 days of storage at 21 C and 160 days at 5 C as a result of an increase in acid invertase activity. Sucrose synthetase and neutral invertase activities were high at harvest but declined during storage, thus showing no relationship with postharvest reducing sugar accumulation in sugar beet roots. Acid alpha-gluc...
