Abstract

Since temperature and precipitation are the most important climatic parameters affecting the cultivation of sugar beet , daily temperature data of selected weather stations in a period of 16 years (2004-20) together with annual precipitation data were used for agro-climatic analysis. For this purpose, methods of evaluation of thermal potential, deviation from optimal conditions, and growing degree days (GDD) were used. Evaluation of thermal potential based on 5 and 10 oC thresholds in Lorestan province showed that Poldokhtar and Kuhdasht stations had the highest accumulated thermal unit, while Azna station had the lowest value. In Ilam province, Dehloran and Mehran stations had the highest accumulated thermal unit and Ivan station had the lowest value. According to the analysis of deviation from optimal conditions, Poldokhtar station in Lorestan, and Dehloran station in Ilam had the least deviation from the optimal conditions of -27.73 and -29.17, respectively. Planting date was considered based on autumn temperature in all stations. The optimum germination date based on GDD was 12 October in Poldakhtar  and 13 October in Dehloran stations. In terms of suitable cultivation areas in Lorestan, the southern and southeastern regions in Poldakhtar and Kuhdasht were identified as the most suitable regions. In Ilam province, the southern, southeastern and southwestern regions in Dehloran and Mehran were identified as the most suitable regions.
