In this study, total roughage production and its sufficiency for farm animals in Turkey was evaluated. Because of insufficient production, feed prices are relatively high fluctuating Turkey. It estimated that, the 40 363 210 tonnes roughages supplied by meadows pastures (13 164 tonnes), shrublands (11 267 000 tonnes) forage crops (15 932 tonnes). addition, straw stubble as 31 074 800 animal fee...

Phoma stem canker is a damaging disease of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) that causes annual yield losses to UK growers worth approximately £100 million, despite the use fungicides. In UK, sown in August/September and harvested following July. The epidemics are initiated by ascospores released from Leptosphaeria spp. pseudothecia (ascocarps) on stubble autumn/winter. Control this reliant cultiva...

Many farmers in the steeply sloped Palouse region of eastern Washington and northern Idaho practice no-till (NT) farming. Soil quality and water intake parameters were assessed in standing wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) stubble along summit, side, and toe-slope positions in a 2-yr study at three paired-farm sites using traditional tillage (TT) vs. NT management. Paired sites had similar south-fac...

Facial perception research has benefited from the use of computer graphic methods, such as facial image prototyping and transformation. This paper describes new methods for improved prototyping and transformation of skin textures including wrinkles and stubble. We use a biologically inspired wavelet transform to capture the textural detail in different facial regions at multiple spatial scales ...

Sunflower has historically been an important crop in Central Queensland. In recent years the sunflower area in Central Queensland has been reduced due to low and variable prices and increased competition from alternate summer crops. Issues of tall persistent stubble that provides little ground cover and a lack of in-crop weed control options have also contributed to declining popularity of sunf...
