at the present time 33 sugar beet and 7 sugar cane industrial units are active in the country. in 2004, the national sugar production was about 1192 thousand tons, that 55 percent of it was produced from the sugar beet and the rest from the sugar cane. in this investigation the status of sugar beet root and sugar production during last 4 years is discussed. the theoretical capacity of 33 sugar ...

abstractin order to evaluate the effect of vermicompost and humic acid on quantitative and qualitative traits of sod turf, a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications was established in research farm in shahrekord university. treatments were vermicompost (zero, 5, 10 and 15 v/v percent) and humic acid (zero, 150 and 250 g/m2), respectively. some traits s...

Root decay after timber cutting can lead to slope failure. In situ measurements of soil with tree roots showed that soil strength increased linearly as root biomass increased. Forests clear-felled 3 years earlier contained about one-third of the root biomass of oldgrowth forests. Nearly all of the roots < 2 mm in diameter were gone from 7-year-old logged areas while about 30 percent of the < 17...

in order to study the effect of soil compaction on root and shoot growth of wheat plants (shahriar variety), a greenhouse pot experiment was conducted in guilan university. the study design was factorial with completely randomized in three replications. treatments included three compaction levels; (normal compaction, compaction of ten percent and twenty percent) and two type of soil texture (cl...

A common feature of mycorrhizal observation is the growth of the infection on the plant root as a percent of the infected root or root tip length. Often, this is measured as a logistic curve with an eventual, though usually transient, plateau. It is shown in this paper that the periods of stable percent infection in the mycorrhizal growth cycle correspond to periods where both the plant and myc...

Solanum lycopersicum cv. (Punjab Kesar Cherry) (Tomato) belonging to family Solanaceae has been priced for the presence of lycopene, low sugar content and curative properties. However, productivity tomatoes observed be due both biotic as well abiotic stress. Considering toxicity copper (Cu), lead (Pb) nickel (Ni) environmental contamination economic importance S. lycopersicum, present study was...

to investigate the effects of methyl jasmonate growth regulators on growth characteristics, fruit number and fruit yield of ‘semsuri’ melon, an experiment at the field of shahid bahonar university was conducted in summer 2012. melon (cv. ‘semsuri’) is widely cultivated in iran and therefore increasing the fruit yield and quality of this cultivar is necessary. some growth regulators including me...
