to determine the effects of different irrigation and salinity levels on qualitative and quantitative yield of sugar beet, an experiment was conducted for two years (2006-07)at torogh agricultural research center, mashhad, iran, using two sprinkler systems. each of the two irrigation systems was connected to two water sources with 1 and 6 ds/m salinity. irrigation was performed via two sprinkler...

In this study, eight transformed Solanum tuberosum L. plants, affected in their nitrate assimilatory pathway by the introduction of a tobacco nitrate reductase gene (Nia2), were cultivated in glasshouse conditions at INRA Ploudaniel (West Brittany, France). Two irrigation regimes were compared and plants were sampled at four stages of vegetation. Yield, tuber dry matter content, total nitrogen ...

application of superabsorbent material is one of the new methods for moisture storage in the soil. this research was performed in the khajeh research station on the basis of randomized complete block design with three replications in the plots with dimension of 4×5 meter for investigate the effect of different amounts of pumice on water retention capacity in the soil, growth and of spring saffl...

background and objectives: although chemical fertilizers in short-term can increase vegetables yield, but must be renewed each planting season that this trend increases the concentration of nitrate in the vegetables shoots, nitrogen leaching and contamination of water resources, loss of beneficial insects and microorganisms and soil fertility will decline, and over time reduce the yield and qua...

in this study, the performance of different cultivation methods on sugar beet fields was evaluated. eight treatments were considered: a) use of a rolling cultivator twice during the growing season; b) use of a rolling cultivator three times during the growing season; c) use of a crescent cultivator twice during the growing season; d) use of a crescent cultivator three times during the growing s...
