for determining sugar beet water requirements, this work was conducted at the  agricultural research station of torog in mashhad for 3 years. crop water requirement was measured by a drainage type lysimeter with dimension of 2*2*1 m. in order to reduce side effects, an area about 1600 m2 around the lysimeter (as a guard) was cultivated with sugar beet. soil water content was measured by tensiom...

So far, various methods have been presented for determining reference crop evapotranspiration in different parts of the world. The most popular and prestigious of them are probably the combined methods of Penman family, modified Blany-Criddle, Hargreaves - Samani and thornthwaite. Due to lack of lysimeter data in many parts of Iran, presenting an equation according to the regional condition wit...

this study aimed at determining the evapotranspiration and crop coefficient (kc) of sugar beet during the plant growth using drainage lysimeter by using water balance and experimental methods for three years in shahrekord. after sugar beet planting and out of lysimeter, evapotranspiration was measured weekly and monthly by measuring the factors of the water- balance equation. results showed tha...

in many crops, incorrect management of nitrogen and water is one of the most important factors in the resources productivity such as water and nitrogen. in order to evaluate the effects of different nitrogen levels (zero, 50, 100 and 150 kg ha-1) and irrigation application rates (100, 75 and 50% of water requirement per species) on corn, sesame and sugar beet, three separate experiments was con...

An increasing demand for food together with a growing demand for energy crops result in an increasing demand for and competition over water. Sugar cane, sugar beet and maize are not only essential food crops, but also important feedstock for bio-ethanol. Crop growth requires water, a scarce resource. This study aims to assess the green, blue and grey water footprint (WF) of sweeteners and bio-e...

hargraves-samani method is one of the methods for calculating plant evapotranspiration that needs minimum meteorological data. in order to evaluate et-hs model in determining sugar beet crop water demand in isfahan, an experiment was conducted at research field of department of agriculture, khorasgan branch, islamic azad university, isfahan, iranin 2005. the study was based a randomized complet...

irrigation requirement equals the difference between water requirement and effective rainfall which can be estimated by considering the water application efficiency. the values of water requirement and irrigation requirement of sugar beet have been reported using netwat program in different regions ofiran. however, the mean values were used in this program; therefore the values of water and irr...
