otal hydraulic resistance on an upland agricultural site may be influenced by several factors including standing vegetation. In this laboratory study, Darcy-Weisbach roughness coeflcients were measured for corn, cotton, sorghum, soybeans, sunflower, and wheat vegetation. Experimental variables used in this investigation in addition to crop type included plant population, row spacing, row orient...

in order to evaluation of seed production index in lambsquarters (chenopodium album), leaf appearance and yield of fennel (foeniculum vulgare) under inter-specific competition a factorial experiment was conducted in islamic azad university, tabriz branch, iran, during 2011-2012. treatments were weed densities of 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 plants per meter row and its relative emergence times of simultane...

A concept design of a carrot seeder, filed for patent application, was successfully developed in this study. Farmers were visited and interviewed the data regarding their existing practices planting carrots, corresponding tools equipment requirements such as hill spacing, row spacing plant bed size gathered. These used input preparation simulation seeder with aid Solidworks software.
 The ...

The objective was to evaluate the epicotyl length of seedlings soybean cultivars in field, submitted plant densification by reducing inter-row spacing. Two field experiments were conducted Rio Paranaíba state Minas Gerais and effect reduced spacing (20 cm, 30 40 cm 50 between rows) evaluated. assessment done using a millimeter ruler when plants reached V2 development stage. randomized block des...

The present paper reports measurements carried out in a centrifugal compressor equipped with double row of low solidity partial vane diffuser. Performance of the compressor is measured with three sets of double row diffusers with different radial spacing between the diffusers. From these measurements best configurations are identified and static pressures on the diffuser walls and probe measure...

The results of experimental studies free-convective heat transfer single-, double- and four-row bundles finned tubes without with an exhaust shaft are presented. It is shown that the inter-tube spacing significantly affects energy efficiency bundle. optimum 61 mm for single-row, about 70 double-row, over bundles. With increase number rows in bundle specific capacity increases, but rate its decr...

introduction intercropping as a common method in sustainable agricultural systems, plays an important role in increasing productivity and yield stability to improve utilization of resources )alizadeh et al., 2010). studies in different countries showed that intercropping causes increase in diversity, production and more efficient use of water resources, land, labor and nutrients and also reduce...
