generation mean analysis was carried out to estimate the nature andmagnitude of gene effects for sugar yield and its component traits in sweet sorghum[sorghum bicolor (l.) moench. six basic generations, namely p1, p2, f1, f2,bc1p1, bc1p2 of four crosses involving seven diverse parents were evaluated inrainy 2009. the mean performance of the f1 in all the crosses indicated dominantgene effect fo...

The study was conducted in Sudanese Sugar Industries during the period 2017 to aim determination some heavy metals and microbial profiles of raw samples collected from season relation EU.1998 ICUMSA,1974 standards. were obtained all namely, (Kenana, White Nile, Assalaya, Sennar, Guneid, New Halfa). After that transferred laboratory assess quality parameters sugar which include content cane per ...

BACKGROUND The development of 'energycane' varieties of sugarcane is underway, targeting the use of both sugar juice and bagasse for ethanol production. The current study evaluated a selection of such 'energycane' cultivars for the combined ethanol yields from juice and bagasse, by optimization of dilute acid pretreatment optimization of bagasse for sugar yields. METHOD A central composite de...

Sugar and fodder beet were grown in three years to assess the potential sugar yield for ethanol production in the region. Fresh weight root yields ranged from 70-85 t/ha for sugar beet and 55-136 t/ha for fodder beet. Sugar contents averaged 15% for sugar beet and 10117o for fodder beet resulting in sugar yields of 10-12 t/ha and 5-12 t/ha respectively. Consistently higher sugar yield from suga...

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...

The study was conducted to investigate the potential of Parkia biglobosa fruit pulp as substrate for citric acid production by Aspergillus niger. Reducing sugar was estimated by 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid and citric acid was estimated spectrophotometrically using pyridine-acetic anhydride methods. The studies revealed that production parameters (pH, inoculum size, substrate concentration, incuba...

BACKGROUND It is widely believed that reducing the lignocellulosic biomass particle size would improve the biomass digestibility by increasing the total surface area and eliminating mass and heat transfer limitation during hydrolysis reactions. However, past studies demonstrate that particle size influences biomass digestibility to a limited extent. Thus, this paper studies the effect of partic...

resistance of 16 sugar beet cultivars to cercospora leaf spot was evaluated in ghaemshahr region. the experiment was conducted in a complete block design with six replications and disease severity of cultivars was measured two times. as a winter crop the root yield of cultivars and their disease severity compared under natural cercospora infection in dezfoul area in a complete block design with...
