Today's agricultural development is inseparable from the of tools and machinery technology. The application this technology can be in form mechanization for rice cultivation using a transplanter. With that helps them, it hoped productivity Indonesia will increase year to farmers who are generally elderly work more easily managing their fields. purpose study identify determine level consumer nee...

Onion thrips, Thrips tabaci Lindeman (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), is a well-known onion pest worldwide. Onion thrips cause both direct and indirect damage to onion by feeding and ovipositing on leaves that may cause green onions (scallions) to be unmarketable and dry bulb onion size to be reduced. Onion thrips can also transmit several plant pathogens that reduce onion bulb size and quality. One ...

The operation of the semi-automatic pepper pot seedling transplanter has problem a low frequency manual operation. We designed new automatic transplanting mechanism based on clamping stem. Through movement law double-crank connecting rod mechanism, static trajectory beak shape and dynamic N were to meet requirements backward transplanting. kinematics equation picking was established parameter o...

The success rate of automatic transplanter seedling picking is affected by the harsh operating environment and reduced output accuracy opening closing positioning seedling-picking mechanism due to interference external environment. To solve such problems, paper proposes use an adaptive fuzzy PID control algorithm as positioning-control system mechanism. Based on theoretical analysis calculation...

In New York, onion [ Allium cepa L. (Alliaceae)] fields often border woods or other vegetable fields. Because onion maggot adults, Delia antiqua (Meigen) (Diptera: Anthomyiidae), spend a significant portion of their time outside of onion fields, surrounding habitat may affect patterns of fly activity and oviposition within onion fields. To better understand these patterns throughout the onion-g...

Onion thrips, Thrips tabaci Lindeman, colonization of onion fields may be influenced by bordering crop and non-crop habitats. Identifying habitats adjacent to onion fields associated with high T. tabaci infestations would be valuable for improving scouting efforts and management decisions. A 3-year study examined adult T. tabaci colonization patterns within onion fields early (June through earl...

Resolving heterogeneity among the various biological information systems is a crucial problem if we wish to gain value from the many distributed resources available to us. For example, information from multiple protein databases (e.g., Swiss-Prot and PDB) might need to be composed to answer queries posed by end-users. Problems of heterogeneity in hardware, operating systems, interfaces and data...

Identifying locations where onion thrips, Thrips tabaci Lindeman (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), overwinter and subsequently disperse is important for designing control strategies. In upstate New York from 2003 through 2006, potential overwintering sites in the commercial onion, Allium cepa L., cropping system were investigated early in the spring before onion seedling emergence and again late in th...

Addition of 0.5% onion was effective in reducing lipid oxidation in irradiated cooked ground beef after 7 day storage. Addition of garlic or onion greatly increased the amounts of sulfur volatiles from cooked ground beef. Irradiation and storage both changed the amounts and compositions of sulfur compounds in both garlic- and onion-added cooked ground beef significantly. Although, addition of g...
