to optimize the field evaluation of resistance to cercospora leaf spot, 12 sugar beet cultivars were evaluated under field conditions in gharakhil, ghaemshahr at 15-days intervals. measurements were carried out based on kws 1-9 and agronomia 1-5 scales. disease severities were graded based on total plants per plot and also based on means of 5 randomly selected plants in each plot. analysis of e...

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...

to determine suitable planting date and predicting emergence time in field conditions of iranian sugar beet cultivars we need some information including base temperature (t base) and heat units (hu). in this research germination tests were conducted on the seed of seven iranian monogerm sugar beet cultivars at various temperatures (3 to 36 ºc) with 3 ºc intervals. also field emergence was evalu...

The aim of this study was to identify leaf physiological traits, which could be used in selecting high yielding genotypes among 12 sugar beet cultivars grown in two contrasting pedo-climatic environments. In the stressful Site 1 (high temperatures, low rainfall, heavy-textured soil), high yielders had cooler leaves (lower ΔT) and thus, transpired (E) and photosynthesized (A) more. Also, these c...

for optimum utilization of saline soil and water resources, various methods have been proposed. application of best management practices and selection of salt tolerant cultivars are two important issues. selection and breeding for salt tolerant cultivars require potential genetic materials, screening and evaluation of them in laboratory and field experiments. starting in 2000, 80 sugar beet gen...

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 six replications and disease severity of cultivars was measured two times. as a winter crop the root yield of cultivars and their disease severity compared under natural cercospora infection in dezfoul area in a complete block design with...

in order to determine possibility of using detached leaf disks for evaluating resistance to cercospora beticola, the causal agent of leaf spot in sugar beet, twelve sugar beet cultivars exhibiting different levels of resistance to cercospora leaf spot were evaluated under field and laboratory conditions. the field experiment was conducted in a complete randomized block design with six replicate...

Defoliation produced by abiotic factors and the subsequent re-growth can reduce sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) sucrose content and final sugar yield. Field experiments were conducted during 2003 and 2004 growing seasons in the farm of Hellenic Sugar Industry SA, Larissa factory, central Greece. Three sugar beet cultivars (Rival, Europa and Corsica) were ordinary irrigated till the beginning of J...
