ABSTRACT- A detailed understanding of crop rooting systems will facilitate water use reduction, optimized nutrient uptake and irrigation scheduling more efficiently. A field experiment was conducted during 2005-2006 to investigate sugar beet rooting depth growth, irrigated with three irrigation methods (subsurface drip, surface drip and furrow) and two water qualities (recycled wastewater: EC= ...

soil compaction reduces growth of secondary roots, soil aeration and water and mineral uptake by plant, and decreases chlorophyll content as well as root yield and sugar content. hence, the effect of soil compaction on sugar beet yield and sugar content farms determined by penetrometer using 40 plots of 100 m2 in 40 sugar beet field of hamedan, asadabad, malayer and bahar at the depth of 0-80 c...

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of treated wastewater on soil chemical and physical properties. Field experiment was conducted in Borkhar region in Isfahan province in central Iran with two water treatments of wastewater and groundwater under sprinkler and surface irrigation systems for three crops of sugar beet, corn and sunflower. Soil samples were collected to 120 cm dep...

Steering agricultural machinery during the harvest in fields is a tedious task for drivers. Automated guidance of the machinery will not only reduce driver fatigue but also increase productivity and safety of the harvesting operation. The existing mechanical solutions for row navigation on the sugar beet fields do not provide sufficient accuracy during the harvesting process. The next important...

cover type of on–farm storages has an important role in reducing the freezing damage and respiration of beet roots in the pile. this experiment was conducted in 2006 in karaj region in order to evaluate the effects of cover types of storage on the mass and sugar losses of both topped and untopped beets. the experimental design was a split plot factorial in rcbd with three replications. the main...

manual planting of sugar-beet stecklings is a very laborious and time-consuming opera-tion. to overcome the problems, and decrease the cost of operation to a reasonable level, a semi-automatic steckling transplanter was designed. the suitability of the steckling trans-planter with regard to the agrotechnical requirements of sugar-beet stecklings was stud-ied and the main field performance param...
