this study was conducted in split plot design based on a randomized complete block design in naghadeh region, urmia, iran in 2009-10. two sowing patterns including a1) single row planting with 50 cm between-row spacing, and a2) two rows planting on the hill with 40 cm distance and 50 cm between-row spacing (40×50) were allocated to main plots and four furrow compactions including b1) control, b...

Considered to be the cleanest liquid fuel, bioethanol can be a reliable alternative to fossil fuels. It is produced by fermentation of sugar components of plant materials. The common onions are considered to be a favorable source of fermentation products as they have high sugar contents as well as contain various nutrients. This study focused on the effective production of ethanol from an endem...

one of the biggest barriers for agricultural production in iran is water deficit. however, certain optimum approaches for water application can solve this problem. deficit irrigation technique is an approach that could have a better and economic use of water in agriculture. in this regard, a research with three factors including two irrigation intervals of 8 and 12 days, two nitrogen fertilizer...

this study was conducted to determine the appropriate irrigation interval on the basis of cumulative water evaporation from standard evaporation pan (class a) and to find out the effects of irrigation regimes on growth indices and on qualitative and quantitative yields of sugar beet. the experiment was conducted in 2005 at the lavark agricultural experiment station fields, isfahan university of...

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...

Sugar beet is one of the main sugar crops and an important cash crop in three northern regions China (Northeast China, North Northwest China). As arid region, Xinjiang lacks water resources. The establishment a reasonable drip-irrigation system for can not only achieve goal high quality yield, but also crucial efficient utilization fertilizer. This research was implemented experimental field Ac...
