New calibration technique for microwave moisture sensors
A new calibration technique was developed for Implementation with microwave moisture sensors. The calibration permittivity function used for this purpose allows computation of moisture content in granular materials with significant differences In shape, dimensions, and composition, independent of bulk density and with temperature compensation. A three dimensional (3-13) representation is used t...
متن کاملGrowing Plants in Soilless Culture: Operational Conclusions
The previous chapters present various specific facets of soilless plant production, representing the state of the art and include some perspectives on the direction in which the field is moving. In some cases, gaps in knowledge were pointed out and required future research was suggested. Generally the chapters focus on particular facets of a system whose full complexity was beyond the scope of ...
متن کاملMineral and organic growing media have distinct community structure, stability and functionality in soilless culture systems
The choice of soilless growing medium for plant nutrition, growth and support is crucial for improving the eco-sustainability of the production in horticultural systems. As our current understanding of the functional microbial communities inhabiting this ecosystem is still limited, we examined the microbial community development of the two most important growing media (organic and mineral) used...
متن کاملUse of Palm Waste Cellulose as a Substitute for Common Growing Media in Aglaonema Growing
In order to evaluate the possibility use of palm waste cellulose as a substitute substrate for growing pot plants, an experiment was conducted in completely randomized block design with 6 replication and six treatments on Aglaonema sp. The treatments were 5 levels including 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 palm celluloid wastes mixed with different rates of some amendments such as peat, coconut coir, perl...
متن کاملA New Approach for Constructing Pore Network Model of Two Phase Flow in Porous Media
Development of pore network models for real porous media requires a detailed understanding of physical processes occurring on the microscopic scale and a complete description of porous media morphology. In this study, the microstructure of porous media has been represented by three dimensional networks of interconnected pores and throats which are designed by an object oriented approach. Af...
