a semi-automatic 9-row transplanter for bare root seedlings has recently been developed at the isfahan center for agricultural research that plants 80 seedlings/m2 using 9 operators at a capacity of 0.3 ha/d (8 h). separating a single seedling from a bunch and dropping it into a distributer cell by hand takes 1 s on average. at a density of 700-800 thousand/ha, the travel speed should not excee...

Agriculture resources reflected to be one of the most imperative renewable and dynamic natural resources. Agricultural sustainability has the premier priority in all countries, whether developed or developing. Cropping system analysis is indispensable for grinding the sustainability of agricultural science. Crop alternation is stated as growing one crop after another on the same piece of la...

decreasing water resources has made optimum water allocation in agriculture essential. planning optimum irrigation and crop production function considering accessible water and growing stage is an efficient approach to increase water productivity. studies have applied this approach to maximize crop production using the fao crop production method introduced in 1979. however, the fao introduced a...

The conventional method of compiling statistics on Crop Estimation is done by the Government Ministry to make ground surveys, during which selected farmers or village officials are interviewed regarding their crops. By comparison with the results of previous years, this information is then extrapolated to generate data and predictions on a regional basis. This means that these traditional surve...

Rice is one of the key food grains linked to the food security of the growing population of the world. India has largest rice area in the world and stands second in production. The rice crop is important both from the food security and climate change point of view. The present paper highlights rice-growing pattern in India derived using satellite remote sensing and Geographic Information System...

India one of the largest producer world production increasing over years. Arrangement crop on piece land called pattern. Crop sowing pattern challenging task farmer policy makers because totally depends natural factors like rainfall, temperature, soil etc. The Mini...

This study aimed at analysing patterns of crop sequences over time throughout the German federal state of Lower Saxony from 2005 to 2012. Therefore, the IACS (Integrated Administration and Control System) data was analysed for the identification of spatial and temporal pattern of crops grown on farmer’s fields. Lower Saxony is a region where maize growing had a steep increase and, therefore, wa...
