autumn sugar beet sowing has priority to its spring sowing in terms of economic productivity and water use efficiency. in khorasan razavi and khorasan-e-jonobi provinces, sugar beet is only sown in spring. therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the feasibility of autumn sugar beet sowing in these regions. using geographical information systems is the best and inexpensive way to identify suitabl...

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...

in this study, analysis of actual data collected from sugar beet hybrid monogerm seed producers in the 2001 growing season and laboratory seed samples showed that delay in steckling sowing resulted in the reduction of raw and pure sugar beet seed yield and the increase of undersize seed portion. non-significant effect of sowing dates on unkernel seed percent showed that the high temperatures wi...

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...

introduction intercropping plays an important role in agriculture because of beneficial interactions. intercropping of legumes and cereals is an old practice in tropical agriculture dating back to ancient civilization. cereals and other plant intercrops could substantially increase forage quantity and quality and decrease the requirement for protein supplements. intercropping of cereals and oth...

ABSTRACT-Several herbicides are registered for selective weed control in sugar beet; however, no single chemical herbicide can control all weeds in beet fields. Frequently, two or more herbicides may have to be combined sequentially or as tank mixed to achieve adequate broad-spectrum weed control. In order to evaluate the effects of some combinations of broadleaf herbicides on sugar beet yield ...

BACKGROUND Sugar beet molasses is a viscous by-product of the processing of sugar beets into sugar. The molasses is known to contain sucrose and raffinose, a typical trisaccharide, with a well-established structure. Although sugar beet molasses contains various other oligosaccharides as well, the structures of those oligosaccharides have not been examined in detail. The purpose of this study wa...

Weed infestations and associated yield losses require effective weed control measures in soybean and sugar beet. Besides chemical weed control, mechanical weeding plays an important role in integrated weed management systems. Field experiments were conducted at three locations for soybean in 2013 and 2014 and at four locations for sugar beet in 2014 to investigate if automatic steering technolo...

monogerm and multigerm seed varieties are used in sugar beet cultivation. singling is inevitable and mechanization almost impossible when multigerm seed varieties are used. for this and for some other reasons, economically sound and fully mechanized cultivation of sugar beet calls for the use of monogerm seed varieties. throughout europe, only monogerm varieties are used in sugar beet productio...
