Fuzzy logic (FL) has emerged as an important branch of Expert system which has proved to provide solution to real life problems that had remained unsolvable otherwise. It has found wide range of applications in diversified areas. In this paper, we study how the methods of fuzzy logic have been effectively used to solve a myriad of problems in the field of agricultural sciences. This paper revie...

Seats have been newly developed with an anti-vibration suspension system for agricultural machinery. These seats were examined in a series of laboratory tests to determine their static and dynamic physical characteristics. These seats are specifically designed for the Japanese physique. An artificial track was constructed to simulate a farm field based on BSI (British Standard) and to examine v...

Information seeking behaviour is an essential component in designing and developing of need based information centers for meeting the information requirements of users. The study undertaken is an output of doctorate research in the field of agricultural sciences scanned in Indian context. The study covers various facets of information seeking behaviour of agricultural scientists and their conce...

The Precision Agriculture is achieved by collecting & analyzing data from the agricultural field which is done in order to select the crops for specific terrain and particular season. The most advantageous part of the scheme is that it facilitates the farmer to get the field related information in advance to take correct decision on crop selection and irrigation in proper time and it also helps...

Agricultural products are indispensable in people daily diet, and the quality and safety of agricultural products directly affect the health of consumers, so the concern about the logistics of agricultural products in circulation in the process of quality problems in today’s society is the development of the necessary preparations. Agricultural products in the circulation process often will be ...

Demand prediction is a hot research field in markets management, especially for fresh agricultural products prediction based on supply chain management. Based on BP neural network, a new demand prediction algorithm for fresh agricultural products is presented in the paper. First, the structure and data indicators of BP neural network algorithm are redesigned and the training function is selecte...

Irrigation and storm water runoff from agricultural fields has the potential to cause impairment to downstream aquatic receiving systems. Over the last several years, scientists have discovered the benefit of using edge-of-field practices, such as vegetated agricultural drainage ditches, in the mitigation of pesticides and sediment. After demonstrating this practice's feasibility in California,...

The isotopic composition of methyl bromide (CH3Br) has been suggested to be a potentially useful tracer for constraining the global CH3Br budget. In order to determine the carbon isotopic composition of CH3Br emitted from the most significant anthropogenic application (pre-plant fumigation) we directly measured the δ13C of CH3Br released during commercial fumigation. We also measured the isotop...
