UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Woody biomass is one of the most abundant biomass feedstocks, besides agriculture residuals in the United States. The sustainable harvest residuals and thinnings alone are estimated at about 75 million tons/year. These forest residuals and thinnings could produce the equivalent of 5 billion gallons of lignocellulosic ethanol annually. Softwood biomass is the most recalc...

in semiarid regions of iran, one of the crop production management methods is delayed irrigation after emergence. this is due to simultaneous water requirement of cereal and spring season crops. a field study was conducted in kabootarabad research station to investigate the effect of delayed irrigation on root yield, quality and growth trend using a rcb with four replications. the irrigation tr...

This paper analyzes the impact of genes and proportional contribution of parental genotypes on the inheritance of root yield and sugar content in diploid hybrids of sugar beet. The survey included two diploid male-sterile monogerm lines and three single (SC) male-sterile hybrids as maternal components, while three multigerm diploids were used as pollinators. The partitioning of genotypic varian...

planting pattern can be adjusted by changing row spacing and row width, one row and two- row planting and plant interval on rows. in order to obtain the optimum planting pattern of a monogerm hybrid cultivar and its effect on the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of this cultivar, an experiment was conducted in two years (2001-2002) in zarghan area of farsprovince. the measured chara...

Effect of several irrigation of sugar industry effluent was studied on vegetative and yield characteristics of L. var. Varuna type 59. Crop showed vigrous enhancement in almost all the vegetative and yield characteristics studied and generally it was seen that the enhancement in vegetative and yield characteristics are directly related to the number of irrigation with sugar industry effluents. ...

Green liquor (Na2S + Na2CO3, GL) pretreatment is an effective pathway for improving the enzymatic digestibility of lignocellulosic biomass for the production of bioethanol. In this work, GL was employed as a pretreatment to enhance the enzymatic saccharification of poplar. During pretreatment, the increase of H-factor and TTA charge resulted in enhanced delignification and increased degradation...

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 evaluate the best drought resistance indices in sugar beetgenotypes, an experiment was conducted in 2002 using a split- plot design within randomized complete block design with three replications at the research farm, shiraz-zarghan. the main plots consisted of three irrigated regimes: non stress, 75% (mid stress) and 50% (intense stress) non stress and the ten genotypes as the sub ...

water stress is one of the main factors affecting the quantity and quality properties of sugar beet. the objective of this experiment was to study the effect of irrigation management on quality and quantity of sugar beet. the present research was conducted in motahary station of sugar beet seed institute,karajin two years, 2005 and 2006. the experiment was based on split plot design, in which e...
