external fluted feed rolls are commonly used in grain drills. the fluted feed roll meters a volume of seeds and does not singulate the seeds as do the precision planters; therefore, there will be inherent variation in the number of seeds delivered per unit of time. this research was conducted to investigate the effect of seed meter drive shaft and ground speeds and outlet positions in a grain d...

Storage conditions of oil seeds before industrial extraction might influence the quality of the crude oil. The aim of present study was to clarify the storage able potency of high and low oleic cultivars of sunflower based on oil and fatty acid changes of seeds and their viability. The seed samples of four sunflower cultivars (two high oleic and two low oleic) were stored in three different tem...

abstract in order to study the effects of quantitative and qualitative traits on cooking characteristics and protein percentage of 15 red bean genotypes, a randomized complete block design was conducted with three replications in normal irrigation and drought stress. these traits were measured in farm and nutrition laboratory employing international standard of ciat. analyses of variance showed...

Gamma-linoleic acid in the seed oil of evening primrose makes it nutritionally and pharmaceutically valuable. If evening primrose wants to be cultivated as an annual plant, sowing time is important. By the late sowing and depends to time most plants do not produce flower stem and stay in rosette stage until next spring. To solve this problem, the present study was performed. Seedling were trans...

several methods are used to decrease seed drying time and enhance the quality of dried seeds. influidization methods, good aeration occurs during the drying process. in this research, conditioned seedswith 20% d.b. moisture content were dried at 30°, 40°, 50° and 60°c using three bed conditions (fixed,minimum fluidized, fluidized). all experiments were done using a batch-type fluidized bed drye...

in conventional agricultural systems application of fungicide and pesticides for seed treatment had been extended in wide range. this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of seed treatment on seed vigor indices on back cross roshan of wheat cultivar in vitro status during 2007. the experiment was done in a completely randomized factorial design with eight replications. treatment were inc...

field experiment was conducted in order to determine the effect of wheat seeding rate and time of application of sulfosulfuron for control of hordeum spontaneum in wheat field in 2007 in qom province, iran. the experimental design was completely randomized block with four replications in which treatments were arranged as factorial. the treatments were wheat seed rates at 250, 275 and 300 kg/ha ...

Sintesis nanokomposit Fe3O4/TiO2 sebagai fotokatalis yang dapat diambil kembali dalam fotoreduksi limbah ion Ag(I) telah dilakukan. diawali dengan sintesis magnetit (Fe3O4) melalui kopresipitasi dan sonikasi. Pelapisan TiO2 dilakukan proses sol-gel penambahan benih atau seed degusa, diikuti perlakuan termal pada suhu 500 °C. Hasil dikarakterisasi fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ...
