چکیده
The focus of this project was to provide baseline PM10 emission factor data for almond sweeping operations as well as to move forward on quantification of a possible conservation management practice (CMP) for almond sweeping. In conjunction with the emission factor development work, continued quantification of sampler bias was conducted. This report provides an assessment of the progress and updates the almond sweeping portion of the current PM10

Evaluation of Conservation Management Practices for Reducing PM Emissions from Almond Harvesting Operations
Almond harvest accounts for a significant amount of PM10 emissions in California each harvest season. This paper addresses the adjustment of sweeper depth and its effect on PM10 emissions from sweeping and pickup operations. Ambient total suspended particulate (TSP) and PM10 sampling was conducted during harvest with alternating control (proper sweeper setting) and experimental treatment (sweep...
متن کاملComparison of the Preliminary Effect of Micro-Catchment Rainwater Harvesting Systems on the Photosynthetic Activities of Almond Seedlings
Introduction: Water deficit is one of the most important stress factors affecting plant growth and production in the worldwide, as due to series drought stress photosynthetic activities are negatively affected. Subsequently, a reduction will happen in the growth of leaves and plants, stomatal conductance and agricultural products. Accordingly, major concern exists in countries like Iran where w...
متن کاملFeasibility analysis of land use modification for low yield rain fed lands in Kermanshah Province through almond cultivation using water harvesting methods and its impact on soil degradation control and soil productivity improvement
Soil productivity decline caused by inappropriate land use and human factors is the main threat to the functioning of soil resources and ecosystems in different regions of Iran, especially in Kermanshah Province. This research was designed to evaluate the effectiveness almond cultivation with a surface and subsurface harvesting system in improving soil permeability and inhibition of soil erosio...
متن کاملA Preliminary Particulate Matter Emission Factor from Cotton Harvesting
Particulate matter (PM) sampling of cotton harvesting operations at three locations in Texas was conducted during the summer of 2006. PM emissions generated by a two-row (John Deere model 9910) and six-row (John Deere model 9996) cotton picker were measured at each sampling location. The PM emissions from the two-row and sixrow machines were measured using a protocol employing collocated low vo...
متن کاملQuantification of Almond Sweeping Emission Reductions Through Changes In a Sweeper Operation
Almond harvest accounts for a significant amount of PM10 emissions in California each harvest season. This paper addresses the reduction of blower passes during the harvest from 3 to 1 as a possible mitigation measure. Ambient total suspended particulate and PM10 sampling was conducted at two orchards during harvest with alternating control and experimental treatments. Onsite meteorological dat...
