Mechanical weeding is an important tool in organic farming. However, the use of mechanical weeding in conventional agriculture is increasing, due to public demands to lower the use of pesticides and an increased number of pesticide-resistant weeds. Ground nesting birds are highly susceptible to farming operations, like mechanical weeding, which may destroy the nests and reduce the survival of c...

It can be difficult to automatically generate “nice” graphical representations for concept lattices from lexical databases, such as Roget’s Thesaurus, because the data sources tend to be large and complex. This paper discusses a variety of “data weeding” techniques that can be applied in order to reduce the size of a concept lattice, first, in general and then with respect to Roget’s Thesaurus....

Farming organic vegetable and crops have grown as a market desiring commodity. Weed control in farms has been costly and laborous and it has always been hard to achieve a proper weeding. A few chemicals are commonly applied in organic farming. Thermal weeding with flame burners seems a good solution; however, it has its own drawbacks, such as; damaging the main crops, low performance, being inf...

been hindered by a declining supply of farm labor (Taylor et al. 2012), generating interest among growers in methods to reduce labor requirements for thinning, weeding, irrigating and harvesting (Fennimore et al. 2010; 2014). Thinning lettuce is particularly labor intensive, and most lettuce fields in California are hand-thinned (manually thinned). Automated lettuce thinners that use machine vi...

Even when considered a modern cultivation system, silvopastoral systems can be rapidly degraded if some cares, mainly related to weed control, are not observed at the early stages of establishment this system. The present work had objective evaluating use forage legumes on suppression and initial development Teak (Tectona grandis) implementing Four legume species were used, namely: pinto peanut...
