Abstract

Determination of the most appropriate sugar beet planting date is one of the important factors influencing field management. The occurrence of frost damage after seedling emergence has been considered as a limiting factor for early sugar beet planting. This study was conducted to determine the proper sugar beet planting date in IslamabadGharb, Kangavar and Kermanshah (including Sahne, Bisotun and Mahidasht cities). A model was designed based on meteorological data collected from 1993 to 2008. After running a normality test for long-term soil and meteorological data (Shapiro-Wilk test) in each location, the probability of seedling damaging temperatures (less than -2 oC) during March to May was determined using normal distribution function. Then, according to the required base-temperature for germination and thermal units from planting to emergence as well as collected long-term temperature data at the depth of 5 cm in each region, the plausible planting and emergence time was predicted. Through combining the probability of less than 20% frost occurrence  at -2 oC and proposed planting dates and prediction of field emergence, a plating-time model was developed for each region. Results showed that the average thermal units required from planting to seedling emergence was 173 growing degree days for all regions. Based on the results, the earliest planting date with less than 20% frost damage to sugar beet seedling for Kermanshah, Islamabad Gharb, and Kangavar were found to be 17th March, 22ndMarch, and 9th April, respectively.
