The article presents the effect of using a tillage tool with skimmers, second stage and bodies (double-deck plow) on reduction traction resistance energy consumption by at least 1.1 kN, i.e., 3.3%. In addition, statistical characteristics plowing depth width longitudinal profile field are stabilized. use agricultural machinery secondary or ensures even distribution fluctuations. plow without sk...

tillage usually has been found to increase b compared with moldboard and chisel plow (Kitur et al., 1993; Lal, Tillage impacts on soil properties differ among soils. This study 1999). Bulk density usually is lowest immediately after investigated tillage, cropping, and wheel traffic (WT) effects of 13-yr of no-tillage (NT), chisel plow (CP), and moldboard plow (MP) under tillage and increases wi...

This research focused on rill formation, rill density, and associated flow velocity distribution in rills at the field level and with different tillage treatments in the inland Pacific Northwest. The study was conducted by applying flow at three different rates under winter conditions, which provides the greatest potential for rill formation. The following tillage treatments were tested: chisel...

this study was conducted to investigate the effect of soil moisture content in primary tillage and travel speed during disking operation on the performance of an offset disk harrow in a silty clay loam soil. at first, the effect of three soil moisture content ranges of (12-14), (14-16) and (16-18) percent (dry basis) on soil clod size (left from moldboard plowing) was investigated. then, the pe...

in order to study the effects of sugar cane harvest machinery traffic on bulk density and cone index variation, a survey was conducted in 10 farms of deabel khozaiee sugarcane agro-industrial company, ahvaz, in 2006. in this experiment, two types of harvesters including wheel half track and tire wheels with 14 tons of weight, versus two types of tractor and basket transporters, with 10 and 18 t...

Tillage practices can influence crop root development. Root distributions were determined for wheat (Tdicum aestivum L.) grown in a wheat-fallow rotation during the 1977-1978 winter wheat crop year on an Alliance silt loam (Aridic Argiustoll). The fallow tillage treatments were plow, subtillage, and chemical (no tillage). Each tillage treatment was split into subplots for N application of 0 or ...

optimum working life of tractor and farm machinery employed in potato production in hamadan province was assessed through data envelopment analysis. an input oriented model was applied to determine the optimized machinery system. in this model inputs were the lifetime of tractor as well as seven involved machines including moldboard plow, potato planter, chemical fertilizer spreader, tractor mo...

Soil erosion from agricultural lands can be reduced by adoption of conservation management practices. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effectiveness and cost-benefit of conservation management practices on sediment reduction under a corn–soybean rotation. The experimental site was 6.4 ha (15.8 ac) and located within the Four Mile Creek watershed in eastern Iowa. Management p...
