Abstract:
This study was conducted to evaluate the potential of suitable sites for autumn sowing of sugar beet in Ardabil. In this study, to evaluate agricultural climate autumn sugar beet cultivation in the province of Ardabil daily temperature data were used in a 10-year period. To calculate the degree of active days, and deviation from optimal thermal gradient agro-climate analysis methods are applied. In this study, the synoptic meteorological stations daily, monthly and annual Ardabil Province of Iran Meteorological Organization received. The research is a descriptive statistic and data were analyzed using phenology indices growth day degree (GDD) based on the temperature threshold in the area of climate phenological calendar beet crops harvested in late November and it is early July. The conclusions showed that prone areas for the cultivation of autumn sugar beet during the year include the northern and northeastern regions of the province. The region according to the characteristics of their environment and living conditions for the cultivation of autumn sugar beet plants are suitable, while other regions such as central, southern, East province are not suitable for cultivation.
