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...

Solution culture experiments were carried out to study the kinetics at cotyledon stage (11-day-old) and the effect of different NO3/NH4 on NO3 and NH4 uptake at seedling stage (31-day-old) with two cultivars of sugar beet, including Tianyan7 and Tianyan8. NO3 uptake by sugar beet seedlings at cotyledon stage (11-day-old) reached equilibration after 2 hours of adaptation, and NH4 uptake reached ...

The sugar beet monosomic addition line M14 is a unique germplasm that contains genetic materials from Beta vulgaris L. and Beta corolliflora Zoss, and shows tolerance to salt stress. Our study focuses on exploring the molecular mechanism of the salt tolerance of the sugar beet M14. In order to identify differentially expressed genes in M14 under salt stress, a subtractive cDNA library was gener...

the main objective of this study is to investigate the comparative advantage for sugar beet production in iran. sugar beet is one of the main crops which is considered as an important resource for energy supply. the importance of sugar beet (as a sugar source) in iranian household food basket, price fluctuation and consumers' demand for sugar beet, social profitability and the impact of go...

A patient with occupational asthma in the beet sugar processing industry is described. Symptomatology, skin testing, immunologic testing, and specific bronchoprovocation testing indicate exposure to moldy sugar beet pulp was the cause of the patient's occupational asthma. Cooperation between the treating physician and public health authorities is encouraged.

The current study aimed to evaluate the variation in fermentation activity along the distal canine gastrointestinal tract (GIT, Exp. 1). It also aimed to assess fermentation kinetics and end product profiles of 16 dietary fibers for dog foods using canine fecal inoculum (Exp. 2). For Exp. 1, digesta were collected from the distal ileum, proximal colon, transverse colon, and rectum of 3 adult do...

the main objective of this research was the measurement of soil characteristics, land evaluation and determination of potential yield of sugar beet in yekanat plain of marand. for doing this, firstly, yield potential of sugar beet was estimated by fao method and secondly land evaluation of different soil units for sugar beet cultivation was determined by parametric method. results showed that m...

the main objective of this study was to investigate the economic efficiency of investment in sugar beet breeding research in iran. the required information including the value and cost of sugar beet production in 2010 and the budget allocated to the sugar beet breeding research were obtained from the office of statistics and information technology of ministry of jihad-e-agriculture and agricult...

Powdery mildew of sugar beet, a disease of major economic significance, was first described at the beginning of the 20th century, and since then there has been some confusion over the correct taxonomic identity of the causal agent. In Europe, the fungus was initially classified as the novel species Microsphaera betae, later re-named Erysiphe betae, whilst in America it was identified as E. poly...
