Regarding some reported antimicrobial properties of tannins; Zymomonas mobilis was used to obtain ethanol from tannin-reduced carob pod extract (TR-CPE). Culture of 50 mL volume containing 7.5 g sugar at pH 5.5 and 0.03 g bacterial inoculums with shaking at 80 rpm was used. Using response surface methodology (RSM), the maximum ethanol concentration of 5.34 % w/v (higher than that reported earli...

This experiment was conducted at Azad University experiment station to evaluate the effects of planting date and time of nitrogen application on yield and sugar content of sweet sorghum in 2003. Four planting dates (May 4, March 19, June 3 and June 18) and three stages of nitrogen application (3-5/8 leaf stage, boot stage and soft dough stage) were assigned to the main and subplots, respectivel...

effects of plant density and harvest time on various two ecotype and one variety of chicory was examined at qazvin sugar factory research station in 2012. three genotype of chicory (two ecotypes of zanjan and kashan and one denveloped variety named orchis) with three plant densities (6, 12, and 18 plants/m2) and three harvest dates (31 august and 20 september and 11 october) were considered usi...

in order to study the reason for the prominent increase of the average of sugar content in sugar beet produced in iran in 2007 and finding the relation of this increase with climatic parameters, chenaran sugar factory district was chosen. due to precise and reliable statistical data of sugar factory during the campaign and weather data, chenaran sugar factory was chosen for this investigation. ...

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...

urea is the most common form of nitrogen fertilizer used in sugar beet cultivation. urea has a high solubility and its losses are high and consequently its efficiency is low. it is supposed that urea solubility can be limited and its efficiency can be increased by using slow-release nitrogen fertilizers. by conducting an experiment in three important sugar beet cultivation areas of khorasan pro...

they are few reports on the effect of municiple compost  on the soil properties, quality  and quantity of sugarbeet. the aim of this study was to obtain information about municipile compost on the soil properties , quality & quantity of of sugarbeet. a field study was conducted at baraan rsearch station with sugarbeet-wheat rotation in permanent plots. the experimental design was factorial comb...

The study was conducted as open field trial, with irrigation, the Clery strawberry variety. aim of to investigate effect foliar application on berry and seaweed extract yield quality fruit (sugar, acid anthocyanin content). experiment set up by random block system in 4 repetitions. following treatments were applied crop: 1. control, 2. conventional NPK fertilization (10-52-10), 3. 30% reduced f...

in order to study the effect of plant density and sowing date on ear economic yield and sugar content in sweet corn (zea mays l. cv. saccarata), a field experiment was conducted at tarbiat modarres university (tehran west) in 2004. the experiment was carried out using split plots based on randomized complete block design of 4 replications. four levels of sowing date (may 22th, june 10th, july 1...

in order to study the canopy temperature effect on protein and soluble sugar, oil percentage and yield of soybean in different planting dates, an experiment was conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications in karaj and moghan areas during 2012-13. the studied treatments were included cultivar (‘williams’ and ‘l17’) and planting date (5th of may, 5th o...
