In a 3-year experiment (2002-2004), five N rates (0, 60, 120, 180, 240 kg N ha-1) were applied to sugar beets arranged in a Randomized Complete Block design with six replications. Experimentation took place under the semi-arid, irrigated conditions of central Greece. The aim of this work was to study the late season response of sugar beet crop to N fertilization as assessed by non-destructive m...

Reproductive traits are key parameters for the evolution of invasiveness in weedy crop-wild hybrids. In Beta vulgaris, cultivated beets hybridize with their wild relatives in the seed production areas, giving rise to crop-wild hybrid weed beets. We investigated the genetic structure, the variation in first-year flowering and the variation in mating system among weed beet populations occurring w...

An increasing demand for food together with a growing demand for energy crops result in an increasing demand for and competition over water. Sugar cane, sugar beet and maize are not only essential food crops, but also important feedstock for bio-ethanol. Crop growth requires water, a scarce resource. This study aims to assess the green, blue and grey water footprint (WF) of sweeteners and bio-e...

to evaluate yield and productivity indices of maize and sugar beet intercropping with different planting ratios, a field experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with three replication at hamedan province in nahavand, in 2013. the planting ratios were 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75 and 0:100 (maiz: sugar beet) using replacement method. results showed that intercropping had signi...

in order to determination of optimum quantity of seed pelleting materials due to sugar beet monogerm seed size. this study was carried out in seed technology department during 1997-1998. monogerm cultiver 9597 seed lot (300kg) was firstly graded by 7 round sieves and then 7 rectangle sieves graded each bound. some factors such as germination , monogermity and proportionate seed pelleting materi...

Two field experiments were conducted at the Desert Experimental Station of the Fac. of Agric., Cairo Univ. in Wadi El-Natroon, during 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 seasons to study the response of sugar beet yield and some of its attributes in three multigerm seed cultivars, viz. Heba, Ninagri and Halawa under drip irrigation in a split plot design to foliar application with zinc (Zn) + Manganese (Mn...

the effects of above and below-ground competition between chenopodium album and sugar beet (beta vulgaris) on growth, yield and quality of two sugar beet cultivars of morphologically contrasting growth habit have been investigated a factorial experiment (2 × 4) under glass-house conditions in a randomised complete block design with three replications was done. c. album and two sugar beet cultiv...

to perform stability analysis and study g*e interaction, eight commercial sugar beet varieties were evaluated in eight major sugar beet producing areas of karaj, mashad, miandoab, esfahan, shiraz, kermanshah, moghan and hamadan in three years using a randomized complete block design with four replications. the evaluated varieties were br1, 7233, pp.8, ic, 7233-p29, pp22, h5505 and 41rt. having ...
