Abstract The investigation was conducted in the 2019–2020 agricultural season Al-Thaghr area, north of Basrah Governorate, Iraq (latitude 31.145288N and longitude 47.431334E), clay soil. Two factors were used investigation. first factor three tillage systems (heavy by mouldboard plow, low chisel no-till system). second concentrations biocide Trichozon (4 g m -2 , 2 without adding pesticide). ex...

Understanding of mechanical properties of aggregates is cruAggregate properties determine the macroscale structural condicial to explain the macroscale functions of soil for plant tion of the soil. Understanding of impacts of no-till and traditional growth (DeFreitas et al., 1996). agricultural practices on the mechanical properties of aggregates is ...

high yield and safety engagement. This paper describes the design of different parts of an automated high speed machine to assemble the parts of roller clamps. The roller clamp robotic assembly system performs various processes in the assembly line which include clamp body and roller feeding, inserting the roller into the clamp body, and dividing the rejected clamp and successfully assembled cl...

Mechanized agriculture is increasing rapidly in the Cerrado region of Brazil, causing concerns about water quality, off-site impacts, and sustainability. Our objective was to determine the impact of tillage on soil biological activity and aggregate stability in an Oxisol typical to the region. Three different tillage practices common to the Cerrado region (no-till, disk harrow, and disk plow) a...

Papers published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Discussions are under open-access review for the journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Abstract The traditional tillage implement, the Maresha plow, and the tillage systems that require repeated and cross plowing have caused poor rainfall partitioning, land degradation and hence low water productivity in Ethiopia. Conservation tillag...

Burnishing is a chip-less finishing process, in which a hard roller or ball presses the surface layer of part to perform plastic deformation in the surface layer and produce improved finish, enhanced hardness and compressive residual stresses on the surface of special materials such as Aluminum and Brass. In the following research, the effect of input parameters such as feed rate, cutting speed...

of Research Findings Soil quality parameters were assessed at several long-term dryland cropping systems research sites in eastern Washington to further define management practices that are soil building rather than degrading. The objective was to characterize soil quality changes over time as affected by no-till versus traditional tillage-based management systems. Soil organic carbon slowly in...

The research aims to develop a seed drill for precise seeding on ridge with drip irrigation. basic principles and methods of classical mechanics, mathematical analysis, statistics were used in this study. existing technologies sowing cotton seeds are analyzed. authors have developed method the crest irrigation its implementation, including working body fertilizer, shaper gasket comb attached hi...

Soil quality indicators and nematode abundance were characterized in a loessial soil under long-term conservation tillage to evaluate the effects of no-till, double-disk, chisel, and moldboard plow treatments. Indicators included soil electrical conductivity (EC), soil texture, soil organic matter (SOM), and total particulate organic matter (tPOM). Nematode abundance was positively correlated w...
