“…This increased production in roots can be due either to the increased beet cycle length (226 vs 201 days), and to a more favourable weather, with particular regard to the rain (467 vs 157 mm). The highest yield recorded under fresh water was similar to the production levels reported in literature (Pidgeon et al, 2001;Hoffmann, et al, 2009;Shrestha et al, 2010) in different European sites. However literature does not report results regarding the effect of wastewaters on the sugar beet root yield.…”

“…Despite the fact that the yield potential of sugar beet as an energy crop has been repeatedly pointed out (Venturi and Venturi, 2003;Panella, 2010), the agrotecniques for producing under limited water conditions are worthy of further studies (Pidgeon et al, 2001). The climate of Mediterranean area is favourable to the sugar beet eco-physiology, but the scarcity of water resources limits its cultivation, unless a suitable exploitation plan of the available water resources are identified, including wastewaters to optimise the root biomass yields.…”

The use of treated wastewater to irrigate the sugar beet (Beta Vulgaris L. var. saccharifera) for bioethanol could play a strategic role to contrast the use of natural water resources and increase the productivity of the crop. The 2-year experiment (2013-2014) was performed on sugar beet irrigated with fresh water and wastewater at different steps of the reclamation process (secondary and tertiary treatments). The data obtained showed that the root sugar beet yield and ethanol production under fresh water treatment (52.2 Mg ha -1 and 5446 L ha -1 ) were lower respect to that obtained from the secondary and tertiary wastewater treatments (66.7 Mg ha -1 and 6785 L ha -1 , and 58.7 Mg ha -1 and 6164 L ha -1 , respectively), with the same irrigation volumes. These results can depend on the higher quantity of nutrient uptake when wastewater is used for irrigation. In particular, the average N applied (as nitrate and ammonium) with irrigation during the growing seasons (2013 and 2014) was corresponding to the supply of 4, 28 and 20 kg ha -1 , for the fresh water, secondary, and tertiary wastewater treatments, respectively.

“…On other hand Uçan and Gençoğlan (2004), reported that the root yield increased as the applied irrigation water increased, and a linear relationship was found between these two parameters. However, drought stress is an important factor in reducing yield which, depending on the climate under which it is grown, varies from 5 to 15 t/ha (Pidgeon et al, 2001). …”

Mansuri et al.: Effect of deficit irrigation managment on qualitative and quantitative yield of sugar beet (Beta vulgarisLAbstract. Environmental pollution and food security resulting from agricultural input surpluses are of great concern to the world in recent year. Improving use efficiency of agricultural inputs becomes an important way to relieve above issues. Due to the long growing season of sugar beet, its response to deficit irrigation is very important. According to the objective, a field study was conducted to investigate the effects of conventional (control), fixed and alternate furrow irrigation on qualitative and quantitative yields of sugar beet was carried out in Karaj, Iran. The treatments were applied in two consecutive years (2013 and 2014) as randomized complete block design with three replications. The irrigation water applied in the control treatment was 1127 mm, while the fixed and alternate furrow irrigation reduced drainage by 44% and 50%, respectively. The root yield was obtained 79 t/ha under alternate furrow irrigation, and 16% higher compared to fixed furrow irrigation. Average water use efficiency (WUE) for sugar beet root production in conventional, fixed, and alternate furrow irrigation were achieved 7, 11, and 12 kg/m 3 , respectively. Moreover, the maximum water use efficiency for of pure sugar production (1.5 kg/m 3 of water used) was obtained in the alternate furrow irrigation treatment. So, it was 23 and 117% higher than fixed and conventional furrow irrigation treatments, respectively. α-amino nitrogen absorption in the alternate furrow irrigation treatment increased by 29% compared to other treatments, which suggest balanced fertilization management is needed in alternate furrow irrigation. Consequently, alternate furrow irrigation management with reduced drainage achieved maximum WUE.

“…In sugar beet, water shortage greatly affects beet root quality (Pidgeon et al, 2001;Bagatta et al, 2004) and to a less degree affects root yield. Despite the drastic influence of drought on sugar beet shoot, the taproot yield mainly remains less affected since an effective osmotic adjustment mechanism is present (Clarke et al, 1993;Abdollahian-Noghabi and Froud-Williams, 1998;Hsiao, 2000;Shaw et al, 2002).…”

Through biometrical analyses of yield and its components selection indices can be generated and be used in future breeding programs. Sugar yield components were considered as the first order variables (FOV) in previous path analyses studies, while white sugar yield (WSY) and its related traits were the FOV here. Three lines of sugar beet (7219-P.69, BP-Karaj, 7112) were evaluated in drought and nondrought conditions. Two sequential path models were used for analysis of associations among WSY and its related traits by arraying the independent variables in first-, second-, and third-order paths on the basis of their maximum direct effects and minimal collinearity. Four first-order variables, namely root diameter, sugar yield, molasses content and sugar content, revealed highest direct effects on WSY under normal condition, while root length, α-amino-N, root yield, crown dry weight, water use efficiency and Na + were found to fit as second-order variables. Three first-order variables, namely sugar content, sugar yield and molasses content, revealed highest direct effects on white sugar yield under drought-stress condition. In this case, sugar yield had the highest direct effect on WSY. In general, the sequential path analysis efficiently demonstrated the effects of predictor variables.
