The new maize hybrid,Paya,is the result of the cross K47/2-2-1-2-2-1-1-1×K18.The single cross hybrid Paya produced an average grain yield of 11.47t/ha in preliminary yield trial in four locations in 2013,10.58t/ha in semi-final grain yield trail in seven locations in 2014,10.96 t/ha in final grain yield trials in 13 locations during 2015 -2016,and 11.33t/ha in final yield trail in 10 locations during 2017-2018 which were superior compared toKSC704as check,with an average grain yield of 9.34,9.46,10.72 and 11.04t/ha (in preliminary yield trial in2013semi-final grain yield trail in2014,final grain yield trails during 2015-2016 and2017-2018,respectively).In on-farm experiments carried out in eight regions,the new hybrid with an average grain yield of9.98t/ha compared to the check cultivar KSC704 with an average grain yield of 8.50t/ha,both with 14% grain moisture,showed 17.46% higher grain yield.Based on the results of the final forage yield trials in five locations,the new maize hybrid with an average yield of80.1t/ha,compared to KSC704 with an average yield of 75.9t/ha,revealed 4.2t/ha yield increase during2017and2018 years.The relative forage value (RFV) in the new maize hybrid (250.7) was higher than the check hybrid KSC704 (179.5).Also,based on the results of on-farm experiments in three regions,the new hybrid with an average forage yield of 85.93 t/ha,showed a 13.26% increase in forage yield compared to the check cultivar KSC704 with a forage yield of 75.87 t/ha.Although the new maize hybrid was superior to the KSC704 in terms of yield,stability,and rate of grain moisture reduction after physiological maturity; its most important advantage was its relative resistance and less infection to common smut disease (with9.16%infection) compared to the susceptible hybrid KSC704(with22.30%infection)as one of the main problems of maize farms in the country.More ever,the response of the new maize hybrid and the check cultivar KSC704 to Fusarium ear rot disease is semi-resistant.In general,the new maize hybrid,Paya,is suitable for cultivation in Karaj,Shiraz,Mashhad,Kermanshah,Moghan,Miandoab,Dezful,Kerman and Jiroft.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of reducing nitrogen fertilizer application as well as foliar spray of zinc sulfat on the quality characteristics of two sugar beet cultivars in autumn cultivation. The study was conducted in a factorial design based on randomized complete block design with three replications at the Faculty of Agriculture in Lorestan University during two crop seasons (2017-19). The Experimental treatments included two autumn-sown sugar beet cultivars (Chimene and Rosagold) and four fertilizer levels including F1: 138 kg ha-1 nitrogen (control), F2: 124 kg ha-1 nitrogen and foliar spray of zinc sulfate, F3: application of 110 kg ha-1 nitrogen and foliar spray of zinc sulfate, F4: 96.6 kg ha-1 nitrogen and foliar spray of zinc sulfate at a rate of 5/1000. The highest root yield (90.15 t ha-1) belonged to Rosagold cultivar and among the treatments, the highest root yield was related to F2 treatment. The highest sugar content (16.15%) was obtained in 20% reduction in nitrogen application and foliar spray of zinc sulfate. Also, the highest white sugar content (15.57%) was obtained from Rosagold cultivar in 20% reduction in N fertilizer application and foliar spray of zinc sulfate, which showed 26.17% increase compared with control treatment (F1). The highest molasses sugar and Na, K and α- N as 2.7, 2.61, 7.90 and 2.90 meq 100 gr beet-1, respectively was observed in Chimene. Also, the highest bolting percentage was obtained in Chimene and the application of 300 kg ha-1 nitrogen. According to the results of this study, it can be concluded that autumn cultivation of sugar beet using Rosagold cultivar is possible in Khorramabad region and foliar spray of zinc sulfate can compensate the reduction of nitrogen consumption by 20% without reducing the quantity and quality of autumn sugar beet.

Autumn planting of sugar beet has more water use efficiency and agricultural advantages than spring planting. In order to investigate the possibility of autumn planting of two sugar beet cultivars and compare their root yield, a study was conducted in the Faculty of Agriculture of Lorestan University during two cropping years (2017-2018 and 2018-2019). This study was conducted in the form of a split factorial design with three replications. The main factor has two levels and includes planting method 50-50 (P1), 25-50 (P2), and the sub-factors including two varieties of autumn sugar beet (Rosagold and Chimene) and four levels of fertilizer (F1: application of 300 kg.ha-1 nitrogen (Control), F2: application of 270 kg.ha-1 nitrogen and foliar application of zinc sulfate, F3: application of 240 kg.ha-1 nitrogen and foliar application of zinc sulfate, F4: application of 210 kg.ha-1 nitrogen and foliar application of zinc sulfate in the amount of 5 per thousand. Rosagold cultivar with F2 treatment significantly (p<0.01) increased the photosynthesis active rate. The highest amount of stomatal conductance was observed in P1 planting arrangement with Rosagold cultivar. The highest CGR (16 g.m-2.day-1) and root yield (98.70 t.ha-1) were obtained from P1 planting arrangement, Rosagold cultivar and F2 fertilizer level. According to the obtained results, it can be stated that zinc sulfate foliar application has the ability to compensate for the reduction of nitrogen consumption by 10%, without reducing the yield and quality of autumn sugar beet.

In order to compare and determine the potential, and compatibility level of different sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) cultivars at different planting and harvest dates, a two years (2014-16) trial was conducted in Etka Dehloran field. In the first and second year, the trial was performed in split plot- and split-split plot based on randomized complete block design, respectively with three replications. In the first year, the main plots consisted of 15 cultivars and the planting date of 2nd October 2014 and the split plots included harvest dates of 14th and 30th April 2015. In the second year, the main plots consisted of five selected cultivars from first year trial, three planting dates (16th September, 1st and 16th October) in split plots, and three harvest dates (14th and 30th April and 14th May) in split split plots. The evaluated traits were root yield, sugar content, sugar yield, white sugar yield, Na and K content and extraction coefficient of sugar. Results of analysis of variance in the first year showed that there was a significant difference between the cultivars in terms of studied traits. According to the evaluated traits, among 15 studied cultivars and based on bolting resistance, Antek, Azaba, Silvetta, Spartak, and Sharif were superior to other cultivars; therefore, these cultivars were selected for continuous screening in the second year of the trial. In the second year, there was a significant difference between cultivars in terms of studied traits, so that the highest root yield was related to Sharif cultivar (83.32 tha-1). The highest sugar content (17.29%) and extraction coefficient of sugar (14.68%) were related to Silvata cultivar.
