Mechanized harvesting of cucumbers offers significant advantages compared to manual labor as both shortages and costs of labor increase. However the efficient use of machines depends on breeding plants with longer peduncles, but the genetic and molecular basis of fruit peduncle development in cucumber is not well understood. In this study, F2 populations were developed from a cross between two ...

In ground-based harvesting, machine traffic can cause soil physical disturbances including excessive compaction, the displacement of surface and topsoil, rutting. These impacts indirectly hamper seedling survival tree growth because reduced permeability root growth. However, extent disturbance in mechanized row thinning by harvester forwarder systems South Korea is unclear. Therefore, our objec...

nitrogen is one of the most important nutrients in crop production, but it's losses to the environment is harmful. the sundial model (simulation model of n dynamics in the soil) was used to quantify the cycle of n and it's losses in different production systems of sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.) in former khorasan province, east of iran. the data were collected from traditional, semi-me...

Maize is one of the most important economic crops in world. The integrity maize grains directly affects value as a main commodity that depends on percentage broken (POGB) mechanized harvesting. Decreasing grain processing breakage key to achieving mechanical harvesting with high quality. It difficult ensure low POGB, because it different varieties, their moisture contents, threshing devices and...

The aim of this study was to determine the optimal cutting cycle in an uneven-aged beech forest in the North of Iran. First of all, a logistic growth model was determined for an uneven aged forest. Then, the stumpage price was predicted via an autoregressive model. The average stumpage price of beech was derived from actual timber, round wood, fire and pulpwood prices at road side minus the var...

Aims: The aim of this study was to economically compare the method that could semi-mechanized bagging and uses human labor.Methods Results: For reason, a Prototype Pneumatic Peanut Bagging Machine powered by tractor PTO shaft designed, manufactured used, which conveys peanut pods from ground using aspirated air fill product into bags. As result cost analysis made within scope study, labor costs...

Improving seed yield and quality optimizing plant architecture to adapt mechanized harvesting are essential strategies for rapeseed industry development in the Yangtze River basin. The present study selected 24 elite varieties from middle region of basin as materials investigate growth period, characteristics, lodging resistance, yield, across 2 growing seasons. results showed that biomass, sil...

In coal mining industry, equipment safety and reliability during operation are essential in the production process. recent years, along with continuous improvement of intelligent equipment, reliable requirements have simultaneously increased. Therefore, this article aims to study maintenance decision making method that considers inspection a fully mechanized group. The goal is establish model o...
