Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) and Beet soilborne mosaic virus (BSBMV) are members of the genus Benyvirus (9). Both viruses infect members of the family Chenopodiaceae, most notably sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.), and are transmitted by the plasmodiophorid, Polymyxa betae (1,2). BNYVV infection causes rhizomania disease in sugar beet (4,21); however, BSBMV infection does not (28). BSBMV...

twenty four isolates of cercospora beticola were collected from khuzestan, ardebil, golestan and mazandaran provinces and purified, and one isolate was used to represent each province. after optimization of spore production on different media, pathogenic variability of selected isolates on five sugar beet varieties with different levels of resistance was studied under green house condition. fou...

Growth performance, forestomach development, and carcass and meat quality of veal calves fed a milk replacer diet (Control) were compared to those obtained from calves fed the same liquid diet plus 250 g x calf(-1) x d(-1) of dried beet pulp or wheat straw. Three groups of 46 Polish Friesian calves, balanced according to initial BW, were assigned to the three dietary treatments in a fattening t...

Concerns have been raised in Europe about the efficiency, sustainability, and environmental impact of the first genetically modified crops. The committees and regulators in charge of approving procedures have encouraged a field trial approach for safety assessment studies under current agronomic conditions. We describe the gene flow from sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) in a multi-year and multi-c...

in order to evaluate the efficiency of empirical competition models for simulation of sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.) yield at interference with redroot pigweed (amaranthus retroflexus l.), a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was carried out. factors were weed densities (d1=1, d2= 4, d3= 8, d4=12 and d5=16 plants m-1 of row) and relative time o...
