Design and Experiment of Dry-Farming Cantaloupe Transplanter under Water

Stress development and moisture depletion in a vineyard under dry farming conditions of southern iran

Sustaining dry surfaces under water

Rough surfaces immersed under water remain practically dry if the liquid-solid contact is on roughness peaks, while the roughness valleys are filled with gas. Mechanisms that prevent water from invading the valleys are well studied. However, to remain practically dry under water, additional mechanisms need consideration. This is because trapped gas (e.g. air) in the roughness valleys can dissol...

Design of an organic farming crop rotation experiment

Wangyuan ZONG -6.27-Design and Simulation of Jujube Sapling Transplanter

This paper is aiming at designing a novel jujube transplanter with mechanic arms, which can support the sapling for a while when other operations is going on. It improves uniformity and stability. Pro-E software has been used for the design process, by which transplanting process has been analyzed and simulated.

Growth and grain yield of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) cultivars as affected by plant densities under the fall dry land farming

A field experiment was carried out during the 2013-2014 growing season in Lorestan Province (Iran) to evaluate the effect of three planting densities (30, 55, and 83 plant.m-2) on growth indices and grain yield of four chickpea cultivars (Azad, Hashem, Arman and ILC482) under the fall dry land farming condition. The experiment design was factorial based on a randomized complete block design (RC...
