to determine the most important traits affecting root yield and sugar content in monogerm germplasm of sugar beet, 75 monogerm f1 hybrids were evaluated in three separate experments conducted in randomized complete block desing (rcb) with four replications at abdo–al–rasoul research farm, karaj in 2004. root yield, root length, root diameter, crown height, crown diameter, sugar content, α–amino...

short growing season in cold regions is an important factor in not achieving a maximum root yield in sugar beet crop. in an investigation on possible ways to limit the effect of short season culture on the crop, six harvest dates and three sugar beet varieties were considered. the experiment was conducted as a factorial with randomized complete block design in three replications, from 1996-1998...

ABSTRACT-Several herbicides are registered for selective weed control in sugar beet; however, no single chemical herbicide can control all weeds in beet fields. Frequently, two or more herbicides may have to be combined sequentially or as tank mixed to achieve adequate broad-spectrum weed control. In order to evaluate the effects of some combinations of broadleaf herbicides on sugar beet yield ...

this experiment was conducted for determining the effect of irrigation termination before harvesting and late application of nitrogen on sugar beet yield, quality and root rot during 1993-95 at safiabad agricultural research center. different irrigation termination and late nitrogen application treatments had a significant effect on root yield. terminating irrigation 1 and 3 weeks before harves...

to evaluate general and specific combining ability for resistance to bolting and cercospora leaf spot, 36 hybrids derived from crosses between 9 sugar beet lines along with four checks were planted in safiabad agricultural research center (dezful) in 2008-2009. the experimental design was a triple lattice design with three replications. analysis of variance showed significant differences among ...

water scarcity in arid and semi-arid climate of iran has made deficit irrigation as a strategy for optimal water use and conservation in agricultural sector. this study aimed at evaluating the effects of water-deficit stress and n fertilizer levels on sugar beet performance. the study was conducted in split block design based on randomized complete block design arrangement. the row factor consi...

soil compaction reduces growth of secondary roots, soil aeration and water and mineral uptake by plant, and decreases chlorophyll content as well as root yield and sugar content. hence, the effect of soil compaction on sugar beet yield and sugar content farms determined by penetrometer using 40 plots of 100 m2 in 40 sugar beet field of hamedan, asadabad, malayer and bahar at the depth of 0-80 c...
