Rice is the major staple food of Jharkhand. Jharkhand produces 2.88 million tonnes, in area about 1.59 hectare with average production 1.81 tonne per hectare. Paddy cultivation involves different operations like sowing paddy for seedlings growing, puddling, seedling uprooting & transplanting, weeding, spraying insecticides/pesticides, harvesting and threshing. Among these threshing an important...

A cowpea threshing machine was designed, constructed and evaluated in the Department of Agricultural Bio-Environmental Engineering Technology, Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo, Ondo State, Nigeria. The using locally available materials with primary aim reducing drudgery attached to traditional method cowpea. consisted hopper, unit, cleaning outlet a single phase electric motor. based on varied opera...

Relevance. As a result of the prohibition technical hemp cultivation due to fight against narcotic plants in 1980, development technologies and production means for hemp, acreage crop was sharply reduced. One ways ensure greater efficiency competitiveness drugsfree products is increase level equipment industry, use science-based intensive systems high-performance energysaturated machines. Metho...

We have discovered a new type of galaxy in the Fornax Cluster: “ultracompact” dwarfs (UCDs). The UCDs are unresolved in ground-based imaging and have spectra typical of old stellar systems. Although the UCDs resemble overgrown globular clusters, based on VLT UVES echelle spectroscopy, they appear to be dynamically distinct systems with higher internal velocity dispersions and M/L ratios for a g...

Conflicts for time and machinery can postpone harvests beyond the initial time when optimum conditions exist. This study was conduced to determine the effects of delaying soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] harvests on grain losses in the field. Field studies were conducted each year from 1983 to 1986 at Arlington, WI. Two cultivars from each of maturity groups (MG) 0, I, and II, one more suscepti...

To reduce losses and improve the quality of harvesting pasture plant seeds by isolating biologically valuable reducing degree their injury, it is necessary to re-equip serial inclined chambers combine harvester. By dismantling components chamber with spacer experimental installation, possible study leveling granary biomass each feeding organs separately, when they are put in place - a complex. ...

China is a large flax-growing country, with planting area and production ranking among the top three in world. However, cultivation range of flax very broad, complex, diverse, resulting different scales patterns, making it difficult to apply foreign combine harvesters, lacks dedicated harvester. This research improved design 4LZ-4.0 crawler-type harvester for regional features cropping patterns...
