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...

the main objective of this research was the measurement of soil characteristics, land evaluation and determination of potential yield of sugar beet in yekanat plain of marand. for doing this, firstly, yield potential of sugar beet was estimated by fao method and secondly land evaluation of different soil units for sugar beet cultivation was determined by parametric method. results showed that m...

limited water for irrigation and the coincidence of early growth of sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.) with the late growth of winter cereals in the northeast (ne) of iran, force farmers, to allocate their limited irrigation water to the cereal crops and thus their sugar beet crop is subjected to an early water stress. finding cultivars which are able to withstand early water stress without a si...

crops growing in salt-affected soils may suffer from physiological drought stress, ion toxicity, and mineral deficiency. a pot study was conducted in 2004-2005 in the aghala area (northern iran) to study the effect of different salinity levels, i.e. ece= 3 (control), 8, 12 and 16 ds m-1 on wheat grain, yield components and leaf ion uptake of four iranian wheat genotypes, i.e. kouhdasht, atrak, ...

abstract mango is one of the most important tropical fruits in iran and salinity is an important problem to mango production in ‘hormozgan’ province and other mango growing areas in iran. at present experiment the effects of saline irrigation water of different sodium chloride concentration on vegetative growth and ion content of mango was evaluated. treatments comprised two type of cultivars (...

cellulose is a raw material which is extensively used in the manufacture of paints, papers, textiles, agricultural products and cosmetics. the waste of sugar beet pulp after titration is a source of cellulose. the current study was carried out to study the possibility of cellulose production from sugar beet pulp waste at titration stage as a 3×3×2 factorial study on the basis of a randomized co...

this study was conducted to determine the yield response factor (ky) of sugar beet to deficit irrigation at different growth stages. a field experiment was conducted in sharekord agricultural research station over two growing crop seasons (1996 -1997) using a randomized complete block design with three replications. plots were assigned to five levels of deficit irrigation treatments: e0 (full i...
