An investigation was undertaken to study the feasibility of sugarbeet cultivation under Bangladesh condition during winter season of 2009-2010. Seeds of 14 sugarbeet genotypes were sown in the experimental field of Horticulture Research Centre of BARI, Gazipur on 10 November 2009. Visible root swelling in all genotypes started between 36 and 40 days after sowing (DAS). Nine genotypes had white ...

abstract one of the ways to increase economic and environmental efficiency of drainage systems is water table management. water table management consists of, controlled drainage and subirrigation. this study examines the effect of controlled drainage on yield, root distribution pattern and water use efficiency of maize (sc 704) in karaj. the experiment was performed as a randomized complete des...

to determine sugar content and root yield variation of new sugar beet hybrids under different irrigation levels, an experiment was carried out at zarghan agricultural research station offars agricultural and natural resources research center, shiraz, iran. the study was conducted as split block based on a randomized complete block design with three replications for two years, 2009-10, using lin...

in order to evaluate the effect of some qualitative traits of sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.) under irrigation water quality and different types of fertilizers, a field experiment arranged as split plot in rcbd design with three replications at research station of shahrekord university in 2013. the main factor include irrigation with urban wastewater at 2-4 leaf stage, 8-12 leaf stage and irrigat...

Improved root architecture is an effective strategy to increase crop yield. We demonstrate that overexpression of transcription factor gene MORE ROOT (TaMOR) from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) results in more roots and higher grain yield in rice (Oryza sativa). TaMOR, encoding a plant-specific transcription factor belonging to the ASYMMETRIC LEAVES2/LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES (AS2/LOB) protein fam...

Knowledge on gene action and trait expression are important for effective breeding. The objective of this study was to determine the general combining ability (GCA), specific combining ability (SCA), maternal effects and heritability of drought tolerance, yield and yield components of candidate sweetpotato clones. Twelve genotypes selected for their high yield, dry matter content or drought tol...

models can be used to predict crop yield and inputs levels such as fertilizer, in order to conduct programming for the management of probable future crisis. in this study, based on the model, the effect of nitrogen fertilizer on dry matter partitioning in shoot and root of sugar beet was predicted. for model construction, data were collected from an experiment conducted in karaj city in 2001. i...
