objective: many agronomic practices may need to be adjusted to maximize yield and quality of sugar beet. thus agronomic package must be always modified. this sutdy was laid out for evaluation of changes in carbohydrates and sugar yield in sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.) under different biofertilizers and irrigation closed time at dorud region of iran, during 2013. methods: the experimental design...

Abstract Sugar beet ( Beta vulgaris L.) is an economically important crop in temperate climates providing nearly 30% of sugar production worldwide. The oomycete Aphanomyces cochlioides the causative agent seedling damping-off and root rot disease beet. pathogen responsible for plant degeneration drastic yield losses all major producing areas. identification resistant germplasm essential to redu...

Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) and Beet soilborne mosaic virus (BSBMV) are members of the genus Benyvirus (9). Both viruses infect members of the family Chenopodiaceae, most notably sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.), and are transmitted by the plasmodiophorid, Polymyxa betae (1,2). BNYVV infection causes rhizomania disease in sugar beet (4,21); however, BSBMV infection does not (28). BSBMV...

in order to determine the effects of water deficit at different growth stages of sugar beet and optimal usage of water on quality and quantity characters of sugar beet, a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design was conducted with 13 treatments and four replications in 2000 and 2001 in agricultural research center of hamadan. for the first factor, irrigation withheld in th...

Determination of the amount of sugar in sugar beet is usually accomplished by polarimetric method in sugar industry. This method is not accurate due to impurities such as sodium, potassium and amino-nitrogen that are present and might cause some errors in the evaluation of the technical quality of sugar beet. In this research, 7309 samples of sugar beet from two semi- arid county, Isfahan and C...

Abstract Grey mould (caused by Botrytis cinerea ) is the most important pathogen underlying high fungicide dependence in strawberry fields. Reliable biocontrol agents (BCAs) with improved efficiency are needed to replace fungicides. The yeast-like beneficial fungus Aureobasidium pullulans (AP-SLU6) has previously exhibited great potential combat grey greenhouse environments. Here we report resu...

An increasing demand for food together with a growing demand for energy crops result in an increasing demand for and competition over water. Sugar cane, sugar beet and maize are not only essential food crops, but also important feedstock for bio-ethanol. Crop growth requires water, a scarce resource. This study aims to assess the green, blue and grey water footprint (WF) of sweeteners and bio-e...
