A field trial was conducted at the research farm of RRL, Jorhat during 1995 and 1996 to study the performance of Mentha Piperita under varying dates of planting and row spacings, maximum herbage and oil yield were obtained from January plants crops. Yield deceased when planting was delayed planting at a closer row spacing of 45 cm recorded the maximum herbage yield of 61'92 q/a while the yield ...

An experiment to study the effect of inter and intra row spacing on the yielding performance of periwinkle species was conducted at Nagarjun Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Research Scheme, P. K. V., Akola (M. S.) during 1980 - 81 to 82 - 83. Three species viz., Catharanthus roseus, Catharanthus alba and Catharanthus oscillatus did not differ significantly in respect of dried foliage and root yie...

The characteristics of effectiveness and heat transfer for a row jets impinging on corrugated surface were experimentally investigated. Reynolds number, Re which was calculated based the exit velocity hydraulic diameter nozzle, 20000 jet-to-target spacing, L, varied from 2 to 10 times jet diameter, d. spacing between adjacent jets, Sx, kept constant at 4d. actual angle impingement distance diff...

Intra-row spacing is known to determine early productivity of super-high density olive orchards depending on growing conditions, cultivar growth characteristics, planting geometry and subsequent pruning management but few experiments have been carried out in this olive hedgerow orchard design. In 2008 an experiment of 4-m spaced hedgerows was established with 8 intra-row spacings (from 1.0 to 2...

in conventional cultivation of sugar beet the weeding and crust breaking are mostly performed manually. the objectives of this research were to design, fabricate and evaluate a soil crust breaker and weeding implement equipped with a detecting sensor. each unit consisted of a distance detecting sensor and a hydro-motor for driving the blades and pneumatic valves for moving the blades. the hydro...

Tef is a small-seeded staple crop endemic to Ethiopia. However, its yield low, constrained partly due improper agronomic practices and lodging. Thus, during the 2019–2020 cropping season, field experiment was carried out at Reef Tokko Taanne Hamilee in Hababo Guduru district, Western Ethiopia examine effects of seed rate inter-row spacing on growth, phenology, yield, lodging severity tef crop. ...
