while weeds in sugar beet farming reduce crop yield and quality, they also lead to higher labor and material losses. in recent years, in order to eliminate or reduce the damage caused by weeds in sugar beet farming, weed control has gained importance. to this end, various studies have been conducted on robotic weed control by detecting weeds using image processing algorithms and hoeing or spray...

ABSTRACT- A real-time, site-specific, machine-vision based, inter-row patch herbicide application system was developed and evaluated. The image resolution was 640 × 480 pixels covering a total area of 350 mm x 240 mm of a field composed of four quadrants of 350 mm x 60 mm each. The image frames were processed by LabView® and MatLab®. The developed algorithm, based on weed coverage ratio and seg...

to evaluate the effect of zn sulfate foliar application on morphologic and quantitative characteristics of safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) cultivars, a field experiment carried out in ramin agriculture and natural resources university of khouzestan, iran, in a factorial arrangement in a randomized complete block design with four replications, during 2012-2013. treatments consisted of two sp...

Indoor residual spraying—spraying insecticide inside houses to kill mosquitoes—is an important method for controlling malaria vectors in sub-Saharan Africa. We propose a mathematical model for both regular and non-fixed spraying, using impulsive differential equations. First, we determine the stability properties of the nonimpulsive system. Next, we derive minimal effective spraying intervals a...

The effect of exogenous application; seed priming or foliar spraying of salicylic acid (SA) on Yecora Rojo and Paragon wheat cv. under NaCl-salinity. Gas exchange parameters, growth parameters, yield and yield components were reduced in both cultivars under salinity stress with foliar spray and soaking seeds. Exogenous application of SA through foliar spraying or seed soaking showed a slight in...

to study effect of fe and zn spraying on some characteristics of mungbean, an experiment was designed as factorial based on randomized complete block with three replications in urmia university, 2012. treatments were nutrition systems (organic, chemical, integrated and no nutrition) and micronutrients (fe, zinc, no foliar application and water spraying). the plant height, pod length, number of ...
