this experiment was conducted for determining the effect of irrigation termination before harvesting and late application of nitrogen on sugar beet yield, quality and root rot during 1993-95 at safiabad agricultural research center. different irrigation termination and late nitrogen application treatments had a significant effect on root yield. terminating irrigation 1 and 3 weeks before harves...

to determine sugar content and root yield variation of new sugar beet hybrids under different irrigation levels, an experiment was carried out at zarghan agricultural research station offars agricultural and natural resources research center, shiraz, iran. the study was conducted as split block based on a randomized complete block design with three replications for two years, 2009-10, using lin...

the sugar beet weevil, lixus incanescens boh., is an important insect pest of sugar beet, beta vulgaris l., in razavi khorasan province. in this research, population densities of the sugar beet weevil eggs and larvae were evaluated on plants of six sugar beet cultivars including ardabili, aras, persia, flores, laetitia and rosire in an experimental field in 2011 and 2012. also, the percentage o...

in order to study the effects of micronutrients application on some morphological traits associated with seed quantity and quality of sugar beet cultivar shirin, an experiment was conducted in 2001-02 at ardabil agricultural research station. based on soil test results, soil ph was 7.62-7.80 with 0.49- 0.53% organic matter content, and the quantity of absorbable p, total n, and k amounts were f...

Calving records from the Animal Breeding Center of Iran collected from January 1990 to December 2007 and comprising 207 106 first calving events of Holsteins from 2 506 herds were analysed using linear sire models to estimate genetic trends for age at first calving (AFC) and milk traits. Genetic trends were obtained by regressing yearly mean estimates of breeding values on year of birth. In gen...

the purpose of this study was to describe the association between grain yield and its components. the experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replicatsions. results of analysis showed that similar trends were observed for genotypic and phenotypic correlations and in most cases, the value for genetic correlation was greater than phenotypic value. 100-seed weight...

Sorghum is one of the most promising bioenergy crops. Stem juice yield, together with stem sugar concentration, determines sugar yield in sweet sorghum. Bulked segregant analysis (BSA) is a gene mapping technique for identifying genomic regions containing genetic loci affecting a trait of interest that when combined with deep sequencing could effectively accelerate the gene mapping process. In ...
