Rapid changes in practices used to produce perennial grass seed crops in the U.S. Pacific Northwest region and shortened lengths of time that perennial grass seed fields remain in production have increased the need for additional rotation crops that are adapted to the poorly drained soils found in western Oregon. This research was conducted at three sites to determine ways to manage meadowfoam ...

Pineapple production around the world creates large amounts of wasted organic residue, mainly in form pineapple leaves. Current management practices consist situ decomposition or burning, both which cause proliferation flies and air pollution, respectively. The research conducted aims to develop a utilization process for this residue. Considering that leaves are rich carbohydrates other nutrien...

Today the method commonly used for detecting gunshot residue is through the combined use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). In recent years, this same methodology began to find use in detecting and characterizing pyrotechnic reaction residue (PRR) particles whether produced by explosion or burning. This is accomplished by collecting particulate sampl...

for small cheese-making factories, with no effluent treatment plants, whey can be a serious problem and the landfarming technique represents an alternative for its disposal. however, whey may contain antibiotic residues at the maximum residue limits. therefore, in this work, we evaluated the phytotoxic effect of different concentrations of five antibiotics (enrofloxacin, kanamycin, oxytetracycl...

In order to evaluate the impact of crop residues (zero, 25 and 50%) and nitrogen (zero, 125 and 250 kg ha) on weed seed bank and potato yield, two-years research was conducted as a split plot arranged in randomized complete block design in Rozveh Agriculture Research Station, Freidan-Esfahan. Numbers of weed species in seed bank, aboveground, and both seed bank and aboveground were 1, 2 and...

The objective of this study is to develop a FCM Segmentation that could distinguish crops as plant, soil and residue parts. This classification will help agronomist to decide crop pattern and cultivation practises. In this paper, collected the 10 different types of crops JPEG images from the fields. And stored as a database. After segmentation, color and texture features are applies to get the ...

Crop residue burning is the major biomass activity in China, strongly influencing regional air quality and climate. As cultivation pattern China rather scattered intricate, it a challenge to derive an accurate emission inventory for crop burning. In this study, we proposed remote sensing-based method estimate nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions related at field level over Hubei, China. The new consi...

Pesticides are one of the major pollutants in the environment. The residue of pesticides has been reported to be at a critical level in agricultural crops, especially in greenhouse crops. Tomato is considered as an important vegetable in Iranian food basket and is produced in fields and greenhouses. So, the current study aimed to assess diazinon and oxydemeton-methyl levels in tomatoes sampled ...

Over 380000 tons of vegetable waste is produced annually in the “Campo de Dalías” zone (Almería, Spain), deriving from the diverse existing crops grown under plastic cover). Landfills containing this vegetable waste are a potential breeding ground for diseases and pests, they can also be the subject of uncontrolled burning, cause a riverbed blockage and, at the same time, they are an unsightly ...
