to study the effect of seed treatment on damage of harmful moths of sugar beet, an experiment was conducted in rcbd with nine treatments in four replications in karaj for three years (1996-1998). the treatments were applied as follows: t1, check, t2, t3 and t4, sugar beet seeds treated with imidacloprid, fibronil and orten, respectively; t5, pelleted seeds without insecticide; t6, t7 and t8, pe...

Concerns have been raised in Europe about the efficiency, sustainability, and environmental impact of the first genetically modified crops. The committees and regulators in charge of approving procedures have encouraged a field trial approach for safety assessment studies under current agronomic conditions. We describe the gene flow from sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) in a multi-year and multi-c...

Three antifungal compounds, designated xanthobaccins A, B, and C, were isolated from the culture fluid of Stenotrophomonas sp. strain SB-K88, a rhizobacterium of sugar beet that suppresses damping-off disease. Production of xanthobaccin A in culture media was compared with the disease suppression activities of strain SB-K88 and less suppressive strains that were obtained by subculturing. Strain...

BACKGROUND During production of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) seeds in greenhouses, workers frequently develop allergic symptoms. The aim of this study was to identify and characterize possible allergens in sugar beet pollen. METHODS Sera from individuals at a local sugar beet seed producing company, having positive SPT and specific IgE to sugar beet pollen extract, were used for immunoblotting....

sensivity of seed germination stage to saline soil is the main obstacle to proper field establishment of sugar beet crop. in previous studies different tissues of sugar beet showed high tolerance to salt stress by of increasing sodium chloride levels in in vitro condition. an experiment was by to study the response of sugar beet zygotic embryos to salt stress in in vitro conditions. sterile per...

in this paper price and non- price factors affecting the area of sugar beet cultivation was been studied, using a logarithmic model and a cross sectional data on 195 producers of sugar beet in khorasan province in 2003 producers were selected based on stratified random sampling method. results of study showed that percent of  sugar (an impostor), type of seed, yield of sugar beet in the last ye...

A two-year experiment was carried out to study the effects of pollinator line characteristicson the quantity and quality of monogerm hybrid seed production in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.)and select proper pollinator for five promising sugar beet cytoplasmic male sterile lines (CMSs)during 2012-2013 growing seasons. In this study, four diploid pollinator lines were crossed byfive CMSs of sugar ...

Pesticide transport from seed dressings toward subsurface tile drains is still poorly understood. We monitored the neonicotinoid insecticides imidacloprid and thiamethoxam from sugar beet seed dressings in flow-proportional drainage water samples, together with spray applications of bromide and the herbicide S-metolachlor in spring and the fungicides epoxiconazole and kresoxim-methyl in summer....
