sugar beet cultivation is of great importance in isfahan province. powdery mildew is a major limiting factor to sugar beet. to evaluate powdery mildew status in sugar beet fields, samples were collected from main sugar beet growing areas including, isfahan, semirom, farydan and komsheche during 2009-10. in order to determine the disease severity, in each region, samples were taken at six growth...

to determine the role of fusarium species associated with sugar beet root  and crown rot, diseased samples were collected  from different fields of sugar beet in iran including khorasan, khuzestan west azarbayejan, qazvin, tehran, kermanshah ,kerman,lorestan ,hamedan,charmahal va bachtiary provinces during growing seasons 1999-2002. in total, 94 isolates of fusarium were obtained. based on morp...

the main purpose of this study was to measure the level of technical efficiency of sugar beet producers and determination of factors affecting it. a sample of 144 producers in the main sugar beet growing areas of hamedan, nahavand, malayer and asadabad were selected by two stage cluster sampling method. data were collected through interviews during farming year of 2001-2002.technical efficiency...

this study was carried out to identify fusarium species associated with sugar beet root rot and yellows. pathogenicity of fusarium oxysporum, the causal agent of fusariumyellows of sugar beet was also investigated. samples of infected roots were collected from fields in major sugar beet producing areas in khorasan province during 1999-2000. infected roots were washed, surface sterilised and pla...

diseased samples with root rot symptoms were collected from different sugar beet growing areas. from rotted roots, 20 fungal isolates were identified as fusarium solani based on morphological characteristics .pathogenecity of the isolates was studied in in vitro condition on sugar beet roots. the results showed pathogenic variability among the isolates. cluster analysis divided the isolates int...

urea is the most common form of nitrogen fertilizer used in sugar beet cultivation. urea has a high solubility and its losses are high and consequently its efficiency is low. it is supposed that urea solubility can be limited and its efficiency can be increased by using slow-release nitrogen fertilizers. by conducting an experiment in three important sugar beet cultivation areas of khorasan pro...

beet necrotic yellow vein benivirus (bnyvv) as one of the most important virues of sugar beet is the causal agent of rhizomania. bnyvv, as a type member of genus benyvirus has four types a, b, p and j, that are restricted to specific geographic areas. types a and b are similar in pathogenicity, but p and j types that have rna5 are more aggressive. these types cannot be distinguished serological...
