Harvest residues (HR) are one of the important aspects sustainable management in agriculture, representing a significant portion organic matter (OM) that can be retained or removed from agro-ecosystems. There several ways to manage plant residues: (i) burning, (ii) incorporation soil, (iii) leaving after harvest on soil surface form mulch, (iv) undersowing crops HR and (v) baling removing plot....

Cultural traces under forests are one of the main problems affecting identification archaeological sites in densely forested areas, so it is full challenges to discover ancient tombs buried dense vegetation. The covered can be identified by studying time-series features vegetation covering on multi-time series remote sensing images because deep underground have long-term space structures, which...

Yield monitoring is one of the most important operations for efficient management of agricultural fields. One of the common methods used to monitor hay yield variability is to monitor the hay mass flow rate inside the baler chamber during hay baling process.Therefore, this study on a 10 ha field was conducted to investigate the performance of a hay mass flow monitoring system mounted on a large...

A grazing trial compared the effect of stocking rate on corn residue removal and nutrient quality over a 55 d period. Treatments included no removal (control), light grazing (2.5 animal unit months/ha), heavy grazing (4.9 animal unit months/ha), and baling (bale), that were applied to eight 6.6 ha paddocks (2 replications) on a 53 ha center pivot irrigated field of corn residue from mid-Decembe...

Food consumption is one of the most important components in ensuring household food security. However, there are practices and beliefs that some foods detrimental to health among low-income people, which affects household. This situation directly related nutrition policy. study aims investigate households rural areas Kedah State, fulfill national policy Malaysia. The centers on specifically mun...

Diversifying agronomic production systems by combining crops and livestock (i.e., Integrated Crop Livestock systems; ICL) may help mitigate the environmental impacts of intensive single-commodity production. In addition, harvesting row-crop residues and/or perennial biomass could increase multi-functionality ICL as a potential source for second-generation bioenergy feedstock. Here, we evaluated...

Forage conservation processes are fundamentally aimed at maintaining the nutritional quality of forages so that they can overcome low availability and roughage feed in unfavorable times. The objective this study was to examine effect number layers polyethylene film storage time on value haylage Tifton 85 grass (Cynodon spp cv. 85). Four six milky white were used wrapping silage bales with a cap...

Densification and handling of crop residue, especially paddy straw is a critical issue due to very high moisture content as well relative humidity abundant amount. In the present study, different densification processes using field balers stationary were evaluated in chopped full-length straw. it was found that minimum energy required for T1 (50.16 MJ∙t−1) followed by T2 (102.65 MJ∙t−1), T3 (11...

Food beliefs and taboos about certain foods influence the use consumption of food in household. Today, especially rural areas, some people believe affect health. This practice has resulted non-optimized intake categories. As a result, it is not easy to diversify types for daily diet. study aims investigate convictions communities Kedah regarding that may also identified pattern among residents ...

Various published data show the amount of crop residue available annually in India may range from a low 90 to high 180 million tonnes. Different types are collected farmers depending on geography and pattern for instance, north rice straw cotton stalks while central soya husk sugarcane tops collected. Baling transporting field, though appear be an option safe disposal, will feasible only when a...
