Soil is the largest pool of terrestrial organic carbon in the biosphere and interacts strongly with the atmosphere, climate and land cover. Remote sensing (RS) and geographic information systems (GIS) were used to study the spatio-temporal dynamics of croplands and soil organic carbon density (SOCD) in the Sanjiang Plain, to estimate soil organic carbon (SOC) storage. Results show that cropland...

The present investigation is an account of soil quality parameters and wheat (Triticum aestivum HD-2285) yield as influenced by insitu incorporation of paddy straw and its subsequent inoculation with two cellulolytic and one lignolytic fungi. Such information may prove useful to farmers as it may provide them with an option to use the undesired crop waste as partial replacements for synthetic f...

AIM The effects of N-P-K fertilizers in the form of urea, single super phosphate and muriate of potash on development of free-living stages of Haemonchus contortus were studied. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five parasite free experimental plots of 1 m×1 m area, each of paddy leaves (15-day-old) and an equal number of Cynodon dactylon grass were infested with about 10×104 eggs/ml phosphate buffer sal...

The domestic rice industry of Ethiopia is constrained by low productivity, poor quality, and old processing machines. production system done hand or with rudimentary tools, only 2% households have access to tractors. It takes 175 labor days weed 66% the total farm operations. Rice harvesting threshing are manually using a serrated sickle animal trembling respectively. Farmers responsible for mo...

Indonesia is the third largest rice producer in world, at same time it’s a country that imports from various countries. The government has provided input subsidies to increase production and reduce imports. Modes of farming relatively diverse, conventional modern, even post-harvest process. objectives this study are: analyze impact handling on food loss relationship between paddy or with quanti...

to study general and specific combining ability of some rice varieties for grain physical properties and milling quality, a diallel design with five parents (hashemi, vandana, kadous, shahpasand and ir36) was used. parents and their f1 progenies (25 genotypes) were grown in a randomized complete blocks design with three replications in the research field of rice research institute of iran (rrii...

Nanocrystalline magnesium ferrite is synthesized by high-energy ball milling. The formation of nanocrystalline ferrite phase is observed after 3 h of milling and its content increases with milling time. The structural and microstructural evolution of the nanophase have been studied by X-ray powder diffraction and the Rietveld method. After 3 h of milling, ferrite phase (mixed spinel) nucleates ...

In the current context of miniaturization, micro-machining processes are in full expansion. One of them is micro-milling. Although micro-milling is based on the same principle as macro-milling, the phenomena of micro-cutting are not a simple scaling of macrocutting. A significant difference is the chip formation involving the phenomenon of minimum chip thickness. In micro-milling the depth of c...

In this paper, we developed a more sophisticated method for detection and estimation of mixed paddy rice agriculture from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite data. Previous research demonstrated thatMODIS data can be used tomap paddy rice fields and to distinguish rice from other crops at large, continental scaleswith combined Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) and Land...

This paper discusses the fabrication of microfluidic channels using micro end milling and micro electrical discharge (ED) milling on metals and polymers. The width of the microchannels fabricated by micro end milling was 100-800 μm with 1-2 aspect ratio. The average surface roughness values were 100-200 nm and 80-120 nm on metals and polymers respectively. The end milling was found to form more...
