eight pollinators (as pollen parents) and four cms lines (as seed parents) differing in salinity and drought tolerance were evaluated using agro-morphological traits and microsatellite markers. root yield, leaf weight, sugar content, sodium content (na+), potassium content (k+), a-amino nitrogen content, alkalinity coefficient, molasses sugar, white sugar content, extraction coefficient of suga...

this research was conducted in order to evaluate genetic diversity, and screening the tolerant genotypes of sugar beet subjected to continuous and severe water stress in the experimental farm of sugar beet seed institute (sbsi) in karaj in 2008. the experimental design was a randomized complete block with 6 replications. fifteen o-types which were tolerant to drought plus 5 (check) genotypes we...

The effects of atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition on organic matter decomposition vary with the biochemical characteristics of plant litter. At the ecosystem-scale, net effects are difficult to predict because various soil organic matter (SOM) fractions may respond differentially. We investigated the relationship between SOM chemistry and microbial activity in three northern deciduous forest e...

this study was conducted to determine the appropriate irrigation interval on the basis of cumulative water evaporation from standard evaporation pan (class a) and to find out the effects of irrigation regimes on growth indices and on qualitative and quantitative yields of sugar beet. the experiment was conducted in 2005 at the lavark agricultural experiment station fields, isfahan university of...

raw cane sugar is one of the most important product in the sugar industry and is the main raw material for the white sugar production. morphological and physical properties of this product might influence the final white sugar. for instance, the behavior during centrifugation, transport and storage is related to the characteristics of these crystals. the object of this study was to determine th...

for determination of irrigated sugar beet crop evaporation (etc) and water consumption a field experiment was conducted for three years (1991 to 1993)  in kabotar-abad agricultural experiment station. the climate was semi-arid according to gossen method with mean annual precipitation of 90 to 110 mm. the soil was esfahan series with a silty clay loam texture. the crop evapotranspiration was mea...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate eight new sugar beet genotypes with different drought tolerance responses to three irrigation schemes (including normal irrigation and early season and continuous stressed) in motahari research station of sugar beet seed institute (sbsi),karaj,iranduring 2005-2006. the study was accomplished in a split plot design (irrigation schemes and genotypes as ma...

due to the scarcity of water resources, the need for sustainable development of drip irrigation tape is essential in iran. a number of drip irrigation tape systems used in sugar beet fields of isfahan and chahar mahal va bakhtiari provinces were evaluated and were compared with furrow irrigation methods in two consecutive years. the actual water use efficiency (wuesy, wuewsy) in lower quarter, ...
