Key planting factors that influence corn stand establishment includes uniform depth and spacing of seed, correct seed population and optimizing the soil environment for rapid germination and uniform emergence. Other variables affecting stand establishment are seedbed quality (including soil moisture and temperature), seed quality and planter speed. Differences among fields for stand establishme...

Based on full consideration of the working conditions in the filed, a monitoring system for precision planter was designed using the technology of sensor, single-chip Microcomputer and wireless transmission. In this system, photoelectric sensor and MSP430 were used to detect the performance of the seeder-metering device and process the data respectively. It mainly detected the miss index, multi...

When the potato planter works on sloping field, it will cause problems such as poor film mulching quality due to difference in volume of soil covering both sides discs and inconvenient adjustment disc. The device with linkage differential was designed improve quality. main research content includes explaining structure principle analyzing structural parameters mechanism. field experiment comple...

abstract- maize production, which is ranked after wheat and barely in fars province, iran, needs a considerable amount of irrigation water that is not available in scarce water conditions in drought situations. therefore, proper planting method can improve irrigation water management. the objectives of the present study were to investigate the effects of two planting methods, on-bed and in furr...

Aedes albopictus (Skuse) and Ae. japonicus (Theobald) are important container-inhabiting mosquitoes that transmit disease agents, outcompete native species, and continue to expand their range in the United States. Both species deposit eggs in natural and artificial containers and thrive in peridomestic environments. The goal of our study was to examine the types and characteristics of container...

BACKGROUND Chronic planter ulcer, also known as trophic ulcer, shows no tendency towards healing. It is usually seen in sensory deficient foot. The clinical result of a sensory, motor or autonomic loss of a nerve function is frequently the same--ulceration, although the exact cause may vary. The treatment principle involves dressing and avoiding pressure on the ulcerated site called 'offloading...
