In a 3-year experiment (2002-2004), five N rates (0, 60, 120, 180, 240 kg N ha-1) were applied to sugar beets arranged in a Randomized Complete Block design with six replications. Experimentation took place under the semi-arid, irrigated conditions of central Greece. The aim of this work was to study the late season response of sugar beet crop to N fertilization as assessed by non-destructive m...

in order to evaluate the efficiency of empirical competition models for simulation of sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.) yield at interference with redroot pigweed (amaranthus retroflexus l.), a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was carried out. factors were weed densities (d1=1, d2= 4, d3= 8, d4=12 and d5=16 plants m-1 of row) and relative time o...

in order to investigate the impact of government policies on supply, cropping area and yield of sugar beet during 1981-2003, nominal rate of protection (nrp) was applied as a variable to persuade government’s policies in this study. results showed that despite of its negative impacts on cropping area, the nrp has positive effects on supply and yield of sugar beet iniran. moreover, real price of...

the main objective of this research was the measurement of soil characteristics, land evaluation and determination of potential yield of sugar beet in yekanat plain of marand. for doing this, firstly, yield potential of sugar beet was estimated by fao method and secondly land evaluation of different soil units for sugar beet cultivation was determined by parametric method. results showed that m...

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 (a1), oct-...

Sugar beet pulp, a byproduct of sugar beet processing, can be used as a feedstock in second-generation ethanol production. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of pretreatment, of the dosage of cellulase and hemicellulase enzyme preparations used, and of aeration on the release of fermentable sugars and ethanol yield during simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (S...

introduction crop productivity is highly constrained by water and nitrogen limitations in many areas of the world (kalra et al., 2007). therefore, there is a need to investigate more on nitrogen and water management to achieve higher production as well as quality. irrigated sugar beet in the cropping systems of khorasan province in northeastern of iran accounts for about 34% of the land area un...
