ethanol is a clean and renewable energy source. the necessity of ethanol usage, instead of fossil fuels or mixed with them, in order to reduce environmental pollution resulted in increase of ethanol production from 50 million m-3  in 2007 to 85 million  m-3 in 2012. the present study aimed to compare the cost of bio-ethanol production from sugar beet with other agricultural crops, and also econ...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect  of irrigation period on the quality and quantity of yield and some morphological and physiological traits of three multigerm sugar beet genotypes named bp mashhad, bp karaj and 191. the experiment was in a split  plot  based on randomized complete block  design , carried out  at motahari research station of sugar beet seed research institute ...

in order to investigate the relationships of some morphological traits at the early stages of three sugar beet cultivars with final yield at varying levels of water regines, a field experiment was carried out in karaj, and mashhad, in 2001-2003.  the objective of this study was to find the relation of some morphological traits of three sugar beet genotypes (7219-p.69, bp-karaj and 7112)  during...

In a four-year experiment, five nitrogen rates (0, 60, 120, 180 and 240 kg N ha-1) were tested over irrigated sugar beets grown on clays, underMediterranean conditions, in centralGreece. There, sugar beets are commonly grown under water shortages, high temperatures and high soil Na concentrations. Contrary to previous reports, N rates did not affect significantly population density (as asse...

drought stress is one of the most important problems of agriculture and an important factor of plant product reduction. application of absorbent materials can help usage of sporadic rain fall and cause more maintenance of water storage. in order to study the effect of super absorbent polymer, potassium sulfate and manure under drought condition and favorable irrigation on some traits of foxtail...

sugar, which can be extracted from sugar cane and sugar beet, is one of the most important ingredients of food. conducting more research to increase the extraction efficiency of sugar is necessary due to high production of sugar beet and its numerous processing units in northern khorasan province. in this research, the effect of temperature, time and the frequency of ultrasonic waves on mechani...

the effects of above and below-ground competition between chenopodium album and sugar beet (beta vulgaris) on growth, yield and quality of two sugar beet cultivars of morphologically contrasting growth habit have been investigated a factorial experiment (2 × 4) under glass-house conditions in a randomised complete block design with three replications was done. c. album and two sugar beet cultiv...

Optimizing cellulosic ethanol yield depends strongly on understanding the biological variation of feedstocks. Our objective was to study variation in capacity for producing fermentable sugars from straw of winter wheat cultivars with a high-throughput pretreatment and hydrolysis well-plate technique. This technique enabled us to estimate cultivarrelated and environmental correlations between su...

The discrepancies across test sites and years, along with the interaction between cultivar and environment, make it difficult to accurately evaluate the differences of the sugarcane cultivars. Using a genotype main effect plus genotype-environment interaction (GGE) Biplot software, the yield performance data of seven sugarcane cultivars in the 8th Chinese National Sugarcane Regional Tests were ...

in order to study the reason for the prominent increase of the average of sugar content in sugar beet produced in iran in 2007 and finding the relation of this increase with climatic parameters, chenaran sugar factory district was chosen. due to precise and reliable statistical data of sugar factory during the campaign and weather data, chenaran sugar factory was chosen for this investigation. ...
