this is a report on the occurrence of the hymenoterous parasitoid of the beet moth, scrobipalpa ocellatella boyd (lep.: gelechiidae), in iran for the first time. diadegma pusio (holmgren) was collected from the larvae of s. ocellatella in the sugar beet fields located in ray, the southern district of tehran. this ichneumonid species is belonging to the subfamily campopleginae and tribe limneriini.

the effects of pulsed electric field (pef) on the cell disintegration of sugar beet were studied. field strength (0.5kv/cm to 6kv/cm), pulse number (1 to 100 pulses) and capacity of capacitors (0.5 f to 32 f) were evaluated on degree of cell disintegration and consumed energy in pef treatment. the field conditions of 1 and 2 kv/cm, 8 f with 20 and 10 pulses respectively disintegrated the cel...

for study the genetic diversity and phylogenetic analysis of polymyxa betae keskin , isolated from sugar beet fields in razavi and northern khorasan provinces ,soil of 49 fields were sampled and sugar beet seeds (variety ic) were planted that .after dna extraction, a genomic region comprises of 463 bp of p.betae isolation including 18s r rna، its1 ,5.8srrna ،its2 and 28s rrna was amplified usin...

OBJECTIVE Two ex vivo experiments were conducted to verify the effect of barley grain (Nusrat cultivar) treated with alkaline compounds (AC) including alum, ammonium, and sodium hydroxide or cation-exchanged organic extracts (OE) prepared from alfalfa hay, sugar beet pulp and Ulva Fasciata, on extent and digestion of starch. METHODS In the first study, the in vitro first order disappearance k...

in order to improve the efficiency of irrigation systems and investigate their impact on the pest population levels, furrow and sprinkler irrigation systems were compared in sugar beet fields. in this study, three different fields were chosen and irrigated by one of the furrow, classic and center pivot irrigation systems.  in each field, 20 plots were randomly selected of which 10 plots were ma...

We proposed an hypothesis that ruminants attempt to select a diet that promotes high levels of feed intake by maintaining optimal ruminal conditions. Three tests of the hypothesis considered whether the diet selection of sheep given either a choice of two high energy density (ED) feeds or a choice between a high and a low ED feed is affected by 1) sodium bicarbonate inclusion (NaHCO3; 1, 2, and...
