In this study, a total of 299 grain samples of wheat were collected from four production regions: the maize, sugar beet, potato and feed sectors of Slovakia. The samples were analyzed for deoxynivalenol (DON) content by using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay Ridascreen® Fast DON. Analysis of variance revealed a significant difference between years in DON contents (p < 0.027). The occurrence...

Broiler chickens were fed on a control diet based on maize or on diets including conventionally-dried (standard pulp) or vacuum-dried (Fipec pulp) sugar-beet pulp at inclusion levels of 23, 46 and 92 g/kg. Diets were fed ad lib. except for half of the chickens fed on the control diet which were fed twice daily at a restricted level. Although not statistically significant, chickens given the 23 ...

evaluating the performance of irrigation systems by providing the possibility of increasing irrigation efficiency in those systems is an important factor in the field of water resources management. in this study, the performance of three systems were evaluated, including linear move sprinkler irrigation systems in maize, sugar beet and alfalfa fields of magsal agro-industrial company which is l...

many fungi cause sugar beet root rot during various stages of the plant growth. among them rhizoctonia spp. induce crown rot, dry rot and violet root rot on sugar beet (whitney and duffos,1986). root rot caused by phytophthora drechsleri has been observed in fields with excessive moisture (habibi,1975). pythium aphanidermatum has been recognized as one of the causal agents of sugar beet, dampin...

as water is the most restrictive factor in national agricultural production, it is necessary to take decreased water consumption and increased water us efficiency in crop production into consideration. nowadays, spring sugar beet production areas are concentrated in the region with water limitation and hence, the increase in spring production area contradicts the principle of water and soil con...

This study investigated the development of the microbial community during a long-term (337 days) anaerobic digestion of maize and sugar beet silage, two feedstocks that significantly differ in their chemical composition. For the characterization of the microbial dynamics, the community profiling method terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (TRFLP) in combination with a cloning-seque...

sugar beet roots and attached soil are usually transferred to sugar factories for processing ,then the roots are washed by pressurized water. muddy water as waste flows in canal and is used to irrigate fields. the possibility of occurrence and fluctuations of the pathogenic organisms in waste were studied in 2005. the samples were collected from waste water once a week. isolation of pathogens w...

the sugar beet weevil, lixus incanescens boh., is an important insect pest of sugar beet, beta vulgaris l., in razavi khorasan province. in this research, population densities of the sugar beet weevil eggs and larvae were evaluated on plants of six sugar beet cultivars including ardabili, aras, persia, flores, laetitia and rosire in an experimental field in 2011 and 2012. also, the percentage o...

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 ...
