measurement of sugar beet water requirements by lysimeter method in mashhsd

determination of sugar beet standard evapotranspiration by lysimeter method in kabotar-abad, esfahan

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...

Inhibition of water uptake in sugar beet roots by ammonia.

Ammonium sulfate, ammonium carbonate or ammonia gas inhibited water uptake in sugar beet roots whenever the pH was sufficiently high to cause the production of ammonia. When ammonia was removed by aeration, inhibition of the water uptake by roots was rapidly reversed. ATP at 0.2 mm appeared to either wholly or partially prevent the ammonia-induced inhibition of water uptake by roots. ATP may be...

Improvement of the Sugar Beet

SUGARCANE and sugar beet are the important sources of sugar. This foodstuff, wldcli today is one of the purest and cheapest in our dietary, two centuries ago was a luxury available only to the rich. The story of the rise of sugar production to meet an ever-increasing demand is a romance of agriculture and chemistry. The accomplishments of the plant breeder and the chemical engineer in making th...

Sugar transport in conducting elements of sugar beet leaves.

Autoradiography was used to determine the distribution of labeled sugar in conducting elements of the blade and petiole of sugar beet leaves at intervals ranging from 5 sec to 24 hr. The processes of assimilation by the green cells, collection of sugar in the minor veins and export in phloem elements were demonstrated visually. It appears that in minor veins sugar is translocated in companion c...
