rice is one of the most important staple cereals‏ ‏in iran and has a main role in providing ‎the food ‎security. harvesting by hand postpone the rice harvesting stage, and facing late season ‎rainfall, and increase of yield losses during harvesting. to determine the most suitable ‎harvesting method in gilan, three different harvesting methods (by hand, harvester and ‎combine) were considered as...

Abstract Winter-hardy small grains offer an opportunity to improve soil health as a cover crop, and they can also be used forage source for cattle. differ in the time needed reach various maturity stages. Species selection may impact yield nutritive value. A two-year study was conducted eastern Nebraska determine effect of species on value winter-hardy silage. Three were evaluated; cereal rye, ...

The harvesting operation is a recurring task in the production of any crop, thus making it an excellent candidate for automation. In protected horticulture, one crops with high added value tomatoes. However, its robotic still far from maturity. That said, development accurate fruit detection system crucial step towards achieving fully automated harvesting. Deep Learning (DL) and frameworks like...

Raspberry is a perishable berry raw material with high capacity for mechanical and microbiological damage, therefore, after harvesting, it necessary to use appropriate technologies preserve its quality extend the storage time. This work aimed study influence of different concentrations chitosan solutions on duration raspberries under refrigerating conditions. Raspberries were picked at consumer...

Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.), one of the most widely grown edible legumes in Asia, plays important roles improvement agricultural cultivation systems as well human diets. As an understudied crop, however, mungbean varieties are characterized by unstable yields, poor disease resistance, and unsuitability for mechanical harvesting, thereby leading to a low production income. We, therefore, develop...

Crop monitoring is highly important in terms of the efficient and stable performance tasks such as planting, spraying, harvesting, for this reason, several studies are being conducted to develop improve crop robots. In addition, applications deep learning algorithms increasing development agricultural robots since that use convolutional neural networks have been proven show outstanding image cl...

Postharvest blossom-end enlargement (BEE) in summer cucumber has a serious economic effect Japan. Previous studies suggested that BEE is influenced by cultivation conditions and temperature during transportation. In this study, the relationship between postharvest growth parameters plants under various sink–source balances created defoliation fruit thinning was determined using analysis techniq...

the main purpose of this study is measuring and comparing of peanut harvesting loss in manual and mechanical methods in addition to economic analysis of them. hence, a field was selected in astaneh-ashrafiyeh and divided to three different plots. two plots were applied to measure mechanical harvesting loss and third one was applied for manual harvesting loss. according to test results, the lowe...
