The aim of intercropping flax on sugar beet is to increase the cultivated area with flax due to widely cultivated area of sugar beet. So, a field experiment was carried out to study the effect of various sowing dates and seed rates of flax intercropped with sugar beet on yield, quality and economic evaluation. The main-plots were assigned to three sowing dates of flax intercropped with sugar beet and the sub-plots were allocated to four seed rates of flax. The results show that sowing date of flax after 35 days from sowing (DFS) sugar beet resulted in the highest values of sugar beet yields and quality. Maximum values of flax straw and seed yields resulted from sowing flax after 21 DFS sugar beet. Intercropping sugar beet with flax at 12.5% from recommended seed rate on top sugar beet terraces attained the most elevated values of sugar beet yield and quality. Sowing flax at 50% from recommended rate resulted in the best values of flax technical and fruiting zone length, also straw and seed yield/hectare. The maximum yield and economic return of both crops were obtained from sowing flax at 12.5% from recommended rate after (21 or 35) DFS sugar beet.

This study was carried out in Karaj, Iran in 2017 and 2018 to assess the efficacy of summer sowing (June 22) versus spring sowing (April 20) of six sugar beet genotypes at three harvest times (October 13, November 2, and November 23) via the measurement of catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA), and agronomic traits. Results showed that in both sowing dates, higher growth and temperature were related to higher CAT activity and MDA content, and the maximum MDA and CAT activity were observed in 1700−1900 growth degree days (GDD). Genotypes responded to the shortening of the growth period differently. The best genotypes for summer sowing were found to be ‘Paya’, ‘IR7’, and ‘Pars’ when a combination of the least response to delayed sowing and the highest root yield in the summer sowing conditions was considered. Compared to the spring sowing, the summer sowing decreased white sugar yield (WSY) of all cultivars by 28.3−50.5% in the first year and 5.3−32.4% in the second year. ‘Paya’ and ‘IR7’ were the most capable cultivars in preserving WSY so that they maintained 70% of their yields. In addition, the genotypes exhibited their highest WSY at the November 23 harvest date so that root, raw sugar and white sugar yields were 41.21, 6.35 and 5.02 t ha−1 higher at the November 23 harvest date than at the October 13 harvest date, respectively. Based on the results, if summer-sown sugar beets are considered as a cash crop in rotation with grains and there is no limitation on water supply, it can then be recommended to farmers as it can make good profits for them.

This study was carried out to evaluate the use of the crop water stress index (CWSI) for irrigation scheduling of sugar beet for two years under the semi arid climate of Iran. Statistical relationships between CWSI and yield, quality parameters and irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE) were investigated. Irrigations were scheduled based on 100 (I100), 85 (I85), 70 (I50) and 0% (I0) of plant water requirement. CWSI values were calculated from the measurements of canopy temperatures by infrared thermometer, air temperatures and vapor pressure deficit values for all the irrigated treatments. The highest IWUE was found in I70 with 9.16 and 1.66 kg m−3 for the root and sugar yield, respectively, in 2013. A non-water stressed baseline (lower line) equation for sugar beet was measured from full irrigated plots as (Tc − Ta)ll = −0.832VPD + 2.1811; R2 = 0.6508. There was a high determination coefficient between CWSI with the root and sugar yield and IWUE. The CWSI could be used to determine the irrigation time of sugar beet, and 0.3 could be offered as a threshold value. Results indicated that the CWSI can be used to evaluate crop water stress and improve irrigation scheduling for sugar beet under semiarid conditions.
