BACKGROUND: For the cultivation of agricultural crops, technology basic dump tillage is widely used. More than 40% energy resources are spent on it, due to traction resistance working bodies general-purpose plows. The technological process plowing with such has not changed much historically. Pruning soil layer carried out a ploughshare, crumbling and turning blade, stability movement body provi...

soil compaction reduces growth of secondary roots, soil aeration and water and mineral uptake by plant, and decreases chlorophyll content as well as root yield and sugar content. hence, the effect of soil compaction on sugar beet yield and sugar content farms determined by penetrometer using 40 plots of 100 m2 in 40 sugar beet field of hamedan, asadabad, malayer and bahar at the depth of 0-80 c...

Fewer studies have assessed the outdoor cultivation of Spirulina maxima compared with S. platensis, although the protein content of S. maxima is higher than S. platensis. Spirulina growth medium requires an increased amount of NaHCO3, Na2CO3, and NaNO3, which increases the production cost. Therefore, the current study used a low-cost but high-efficiency biomass production medium (Medium M-19) a...

Two separate independent experiments were carried out on agronomic approaches for controlling infestation by Phelipanche ramosa: the evaluation of two soil plowing depths (30 and 50 cm) determining resistance tomato cultivars (SV5197 SV8840) to this parasitic plant. The performed in 2014 2018 seasons naturally heavily infested fields province Foggia (Apulia Region, south-eastern Italy). Based o...

This study was designed to calibrate and evaluate the subsurface drain flow component of the Root Zone Water Quality Model (RZWQM; Version 2.5) for four tillage-systems: chisel plow (CP), moldboard plow (MB), no-tillage (NT), and ridge-tillage (RT). Measured subsurface drain flow data for 1990 was used for model calibration. Main parameters calibrated were lateral saturated hydraulic conductivi...

The purpose is to investigate substantiate relative position working bodies of improved plow-ripper. Scheme the plow-ripper given. consists left and right sections, a ripping share established down axle symmetry tool, with inclined racks. Analytics dependencies are mined define distance between organs them along Experiments have been carried out come true relation stance bodywork. that an incre...

This study was aimed at analyzing the yield, grain quality and weed infestation of spring triticale sown in 3 tillage systems: a) conventional tillage (CT)-shallow ploughing and harrowing after harvest of the previous crop, ploughing in the autumn; b) reduced tillage (RT)-only cultivator after harvest of the previous crop, and c) no-tillage (NT)-only glyphosate (360 g L-1) after harvest of ...

Variability in soil organic carbon (SOC) results from natural and human processes interacting across time and space, and leads to large variation in the minimum difference in SOC that can be detected with a particular experimental design. Here we report a unique comparison of minimum detectable differences (MDDs) in SOC, and the estimated times required to observe those MDDs across the north ce...

This research aimed to modify the rotary plow into a bed-making tool. The performance test of tool was carried out on sandy and loamy land by experimental method. dimensions bed including length, width, height as well time are also measured in test. has total length 182 cm, right left sides each 51 width 25 cm 30 cm. four-wheel tractor at distance 10 m m, making performed 5 times. Experimental ...
