autumn sugar beet sowing has priority to its spring sowing in terms of economic productivity and water use efficiency. in khorasan razavi and khorasan-e-jonobi provinces, sugar beet is only sown in spring. therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the feasibility of autumn sugar beet sowing in these regions. using geographical information systems is the best and inexpensive way to identify suitabl...

as water is the most restrictive factor in national agricultural production, it is necessary to take decreased water consumption and increased water us efficiency in crop production into consideration. nowadays, spring sugar beet production areas are concentrated in the region with water limitation and hence, the increase in spring production area contradicts the principle of water and soil con...

background and objectives: sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.) is the major crop in khorasan province which is mainly grown in spring. however, autumn sowing has a lot of advantages including lower crop water requirement and higher water use efficiency. accordingly, this research was performed to compare the yield of storage organ in spring and autumn-sown sugar beet and determine the most appropriat...

low water consumption in autumn sugar beet sowing is an important strategy for sugar beet production, especially in arid regions like iran. for the development of a new monogerm triploid hybrid called sharif which is bolting tolerant and suitable for autumn sowing in khuzestan province, a breeding program was started in 1994 and continued for16 years. this program had two stages; the first stag...

this study aimed to modify the current purchase formula of sugar beet into a formula with different coefficients with respect to sugar percentage of autumn sugar beet. ahvaz sugar factory was selected as an autumn sowing factory in iran and 163 samples were randomly taken at different delivery times in 2007 (28th april to 27th june).  from each truck, one sample was taken and sugar content, wat...

sowing and harvesting date are the most important agronomic factors that we should pay attention to proper date selection for sowing date in order to achieve good crop establishment and to harvest date in order to achieve the best time for crop quantities and qualities ripening. farmers intend to germinate sugar beet seed at minimum environmental temperature. sowing date affects crop canopy dev...

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 ...
