Soil application of DBCP (l,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane) and foliar applications of oxamyl (methyl N',N'-dimethyl-N-[(methylcarbamoyl)oxy]-l-thiooxamimidate) were compared for control of Tylenchulus semipenetrans in a grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) orchard, DBCP reduced nematode populations and increased fruit growth rate, fruit size at harvest, and yield compared to the untreated controls in the 2...

Tillage is the base operation in agriculture and its energy represents a considerable portion of the energy utilized in crop production. To measure the implement force requirements, are used dynamometers that are pull or three-point hitch types. In this research, an 82 kW research tractor equipped with an instrumentation system was used to determine the draft force inputs for four common tillag...

The purpose of research on alternative variants soil tillage systems related to fertilization, vegetal residues, and cover crops, in the case maize crop, is elaborate promote certain integrated technologies conservation agriculture. This paper presents results a study conducted Transylvanian Plain during 2019–2021, regarding influence technological climatic factors yield quality maize. objectiv...

Aim. To determine the effect of long-term use various systems basic tillage and fertilization on productivity soybean agrocenoses, efficiency its cultivation technologies. The article presents results research influence main soil formation crop indicators economic production in conditions Forest-Steppe Ukraine with aim identifying most effective, adapted to weather that have developed recent ye...

Efficacy of the fumigants ethylene dibromide (EDB), EDB + chloropicrin, and 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) applied with one or three chisels per row, singly or in combination with aldicarb, was evaluated in 1982 and 1983 on potato (Solanum tuberosum) cultivars Atlantic and Sebago for control of several nematodes, including Belonolaimus longicaudatus, Meloidogyne incognita, and trichodorids. Genera...

Phenology and abundance of bean leaf beetles, Cerotoma trifurcata (Förster), were examined throughout two eastern South Dakota growing seasons in relation to grain yields in chisel- and ridge-tilled soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] grown in 2-yr rotation with corn (Zea mays L.) with and without added nitrogen (N). Populations were also sampled early and late season in alfalfa (Medicago sativ...

tillage systems influence soil physical, chemical and biological characteristics which in turn may alter, root characteristics, growth, and development. a three year study was conducted to investigate the effects of seven tillage systems on some soil (fine-loamy mixed, typic haplocambids) physical characteristics and wheat (triticum aestivum l.) root morphology. tillage treatments included ...

Contrary to their reptilian ancestors, which had numerous dental generations, mammals are known to usually develop only two generations of teeth. However, a few mammal species have acquired the ability to continuously replace their dentition by the constant addition of supernumerary teeth moving secondarily toward the front of the jaw. The resulting treadmill-like replacement is thus horizontal...

In order to improve the tool life and micro-hole machining quality, H-shaped chisel edge micro-drill (HCE-MD) was developed in this paper. The HCE-MD characterized by inner formed through thinning. micro-drilling process, can perform positive rake cutting, so area of workpiece extruded cutting with a negative angle is reduced. Based on this, distribution near corner improved. Then, fabricated s...
