Strausbaugh, C. A., Wenninger, E. J., and Eujayl, I. A. 2014. Control of curly top in sugar beet with seed and foliar insecticides. Plant Dis. 98:10751080. Curly top in sugar beet is a serious problem that is caused by Beet curly top virus and other closely related species and transmitted by the beet leafhopper. In order to find a means of reducing curly top in sugar beet, 15 combinations of in...

OBJECTIVE Obesity (BMI >30) and related health problems, including coronary heart disease (CHD), is without question a public health concern. The purpose of this study was to modify a traditional biscuit by the addition of vitamin B6, vitamin B12, Folic Acid, Vitamin C and Prebiotic fibre, while reducing salt and sugar. DESIGN Development and commercial manufacture of the functional biscuit w...

We present a method for DNA extraction from peripheral blood using sugar, commercial detergent, and sodium salt. Our method is simple, fast, and inexpensive; its qualitative parameters do not significantly differ from the standard salting-out procedure.

powdery mildew of sugar beet is a common disease in many sugar beet growing areas causing root yield and sugar content reduction. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different irrigation methods on powdery mildew severity in sugar beet. eight susceptible and resistant commercial cultivars were evaluated under sprinkler and furrow irrigation systems in a randomized complete bloc...

Copper and arsenic have been analysed in refined beet sugar at the microgram kg-1 level by anodic stripping voltammetry (copper) and cathodic stripping voltammetry (arsenic) in the differential-pulse mode (DPASV and DPCSV) at a hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE). DPCSV measurements of arsenic are based on its accumulation onto the HMDE as an intermetallic Cu-As compound followed by the reduc...

Weaning--the transition from milk to solid food--influences life-long health. Dietary challenges during weaning include providing sufficient critical nutrients such as iron with minimal added sugar and fat and no added salt. This study assessed the inclusion of iron-containing red meat in infant diets before age one year, and the Irish commercial baby food environment. Of mothers with an infant...

BACKGROUND Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in humans and animals might be determined with precision by measuring the clearance of an ideal marker, such as inulin. However, the use of inutest, an inulin analog, is limited by its cost and accessibility. The present study tested whether low calorie commercial sugar (LC sugar) can be used to measure GFR during normal and renal dysfunction. METHO...

in order to determine the optimum sowing and harvesting dates of two autumn sugar beet cultivars (bete vulgaris l.) and develop the planting area of this crop, the present research was conducted in fasa, iran during 2005-2008. the experiment was carried out in split-split plots based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with four replications. three sowing dates (september 27, october 17 ...
