In recent years, the new trend is towards bio-fuel. One of these biofuels is ethanol (ethyl alcohol), which could be produced economically by the controlled fermentation of biomasses. The results of the alcoholic fermentation of beet sugar molasses and wheat milling residues (Akalona) were fed into a computer program. The kinetic parameters for these fermentation reactions were determined. Thes...

ABSTRACT-Several herbicides are registered for selective weed control in sugar beet; however, no single chemical herbicide can control all weeds in beet fields. Frequently, two or more herbicides may have to be combined sequentially or as tank mixed to achieve adequate broad-spectrum weed control. In order to evaluate the effects of some combinations of broadleaf herbicides on sugar beet yield ...

Invertase inhibitors have been isolated and partially purified from red beets, sugar beets, and sweet potatoes. These inhibitors are thermolabile proteins with molecular weights of 18,000 to 23,000. They do not inhibit yeast and Neurospora invertases, but they are reactive with potato tuber invertase and other plant invertases with pH optima near 4.5. There are differences in reactivity of the ...

Today climate change is one of the most important human concerns This fact affected human life in different ways .  one of the most important impacts of climate change is on crops yield so that change in temperature  regime  particularly maximum and minimum  temperatures  is noticeably change plants production . in this research , is considered to  impact of climate change on water requirement ...

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...

cluding California (Altman and Thomason, 1971; Whitney and Duffus, 1986; Duffus and Ruppel, 1993). Resistance to root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne spp.) previously Disease of sugar beet caused by root-knot nematode was introgressed into sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) from wild beet [B. vulgaris ssp. maritima (L.) Arcang] and was demonstrated to be is manifested by galls that form on lateral roots ...

abstract plant species differ in their ability to grow at low available p soils in other words, plant species differ in p use efficiency at low p supply. this ability can be investigated by comparing p uptake efficiency of plants and relative effective factors. a pot experiment was carried out in the growth chamber and sugar beet, maize and groundnut were grown in a low available p soil in a co...

the main purpose of this study was to measure the level of technical efficiency of sugar beet producers and determination of factors affecting it. a sample of 144 producers in the main sugar beet growing areas of hamedan, nahavand, malayer and asadabad were selected by two stage cluster sampling method. data were collected through interviews during farming year of 2001-2002.technical efficiency...

the main objective of this study was to investigate the economic efficiency of investment in sugar beet breeding research in iran. the required information including the value and cost of sugar beet production in 2010 and the budget allocated to the sugar beet breeding research were obtained from the office of statistics and information technology of ministry of jihad-e-agriculture and agricult...
