SUGARCANE and sugar beet are the important sources of sugar. This foodstuff, wldcli today is one of the purest and cheapest in our dietary, two centuries ago was a luxury available only to the rich. The story of the rise of sugar production to meet an ever-increasing demand is a romance of agriculture and chemistry. The accomplishments of the plant breeder and the chemical engineer in making th...

for the purposed water resources management, irrigation scheduling, water usage optimization and gaining maximum yield two step fao method was applied to determine the water requirement (evapotranspiration) of sugar beet.  in this paper reference evapotranspiration were computed from recorded meteorological data at 38 weather stations using the hargreaves-samani method; and then through applyin...

There is no doubt that synthesis of sucrose does occur in the leaf of the sugar beet but the root has not previously been shown to possess a sucrosesynthesizing system. Buchanan et al. (1952) and Buchanan (1953), in photosynthetic experiments with 14CO2, demonstrated the formation of sucrose phosphate in the leaves of the sugar beet as well as of other plants. They postulated that the sucrose p...

Effects of the use of 200 g of either wheat bran, sugar beet pulp, soya bean hulls or alfalfa meal per kilogram diet on the digestive process of the weaned piglet were studied on 24 Duroc Landrace male piglets, weaned at 28 days of age. Piglets had an initial mean live weight of 7.92( 1.1) kg and were randomly distributed in six successive blocks of four animals. The total tract apparent digest...

Experiments were conducted to determine the settling behavior, survival, and reproduction of the beet leafhopper, Circulifer tenellus (Baker), when maintained on selected host plants. This leafhopper was recently identified in the Columbia Basin of Washington and Oregon as the probable vector of the beet leafhopper-transmitted virescence agent phytoplasma, causal agent of several vegetable crop...

in the present experiment, the effects of nitrogen and phosphor fertilizer application in two methods of furrow and trickle irrigation on the yield and quality of sugar beet seed cultivar 7233 were studied. the experiment was conducted as a split factorial in a completely randomized block design with three replications during 2003 and 2004 in hamedan province. main plots were allocated to irrig...

Acid beverage floc (ABF), a flocculated turbid material that can form in sugar-sweetened, acidified, carbonated beverages after several days standing, is a customer problem to bever­ age bottlers and their suppliers of sugar. ABF from beet sugar has been reported to be caused by a saponin from the beet plant, and recent work has shown the presence of several sa­ ponins in sugarbeet. ABF from ca...

determination of an optimum sample size for the evaluation of sugar beet quality is of vital importance. a desirable sugar beet sample could represent confidently the sugar content and quality of delivered beets to the sugar factories. this experiment was carried out at research station of kamalshahr, karadj, iran. the experimental field was about 2000 m2 with the distance between rows and plan...

Improving the chemical and physical properties of saline soils is crucial for sustainable production sugar beet efficient processing sugar. Here, impacts application treated filter cake on biofortification under soil losses into molasses during were evaluated first time. The significantly reduced K%, Na%, α-amino-N while enhanced sucrose content quality index root juice. Consequently, loss perc...

Herbivorous insects are characterized by a great diversity of host plant associations, yet, the processes driving host range evolution are not fully understood. When herbivores encounter a novel host, local selection pressures are expected to shape traits that mediate plant–insect interactions. I show that a leafmining fly, Amauromyza flavifrons (Meigen) (Diptera: Agromyzidae), suffers a profou...
