In order to study the effects of humic acid foliar spraying on morphological traits, photosynthetic pigmentation, and essential oil content of Dracocephalum moldavica, a factorial experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in Saveh. The investigated factors included the use of humic acid at four levels 0 (control), 200, 400, and 800 mg/L and eth...

resistance of 16 sugar beet cultivars to cercospora leaf spot was evaluated in ghaemshahr region. the experiment was conducted in a complete block design with 6 replications, and, disease severity of cultivars was measured two times. root yield of cultivars, as well as their disease severity, was compared with each other under natural cercospora infection in dezful area (winter crop). in dezful...

sugar  is very important role  in  humanbeing feed.  for sugar beet  production in tropical area detemine  sowing and  harvesting date is very important . for this reason three sowing date (1 sep, 20 sep and 10 oct) and three harvesting date (15 apr, 15 may and 15 jun) in complete blouck design as factorial with three replication in two year in sarpol area condoucted. results  showed  that  the...

in many crops, incorrect management of nitrogen and water is one of the most important factors in the resources productivity such as water and nitrogen. in order to evaluate the effects of different nitrogen levels (zero, 50, 100 and 150 kg ha-1) and irrigation application rates (100, 75 and 50% of water requirement per species) on corn, sesame and sugar beet, three separate experiments was con...

on of the most important of sugar beets quality is amount of sodium and potassium, because this compounds are strongly molassogenic and reduction of yield. so , attention on reasons that change this compound in sugar beets and consequently in produced juice are very important. in this study, effect of size of sugar beet (obtained from different areas) on changes of sodium and potassium are inve...

in this study, analysis of actual data collected from sugar beet hybrid monogerm seed producers in the 2001 growing season and laboratory seed samples showed that delay in steckling sowing resulted in the reduction of raw and pure sugar beet seed yield and the increase of undersize seed portion. non-significant effect of sowing dates on unkernel seed percent showed that the high temperatures wi...

Dacotah switchgrass was pretreated with sulfuric acid concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 wt.% at 140, 160, and 180 °C and with 1 and 3 wt.% sulfur dioxide at 180 °C over a range of times. Sulfur dioxide loadings of 0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, and 10%wt.% of dry biomass were also tested at 180 °C for 10 min. Sugar yields were tracked for pretreatment and subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis to identify conditio...

The potential of fungal pretreatment to improve fermentable sugar yields from wheat straw or Miscanthus was investigated. We assessed 63 fungal strains including 53 white-rot and 10 brown-rot fungi belonging to the Basidiomycota phylum in an original 12 day small-scale solid-state fermentation (SSF) experiment using 24-well plates. This method offers the convenience of one-pot processing of sam...

in order to study the weed populations in wheat, under different crop rotations an experiment was carried out at agricultural research station of jolgeh rokh, iran. during growing season this project was done in five years, based on randomized complete bloch design with three replications, on crop rotations included: wheat monoculture for the whole period (wwwww), wheat- wheat- wheat- canola- w...
