in this study an innovatively designed tractor-mounted, ground-wheel driven, triple unit, row crop precision planter capable of planting three rows of garlic (allium sativum l.) cloves on each raised bed was designed, fabricated and tested. the major components of this planter include; chassis and transport wheels, lister-bedder unit, seed hopper, seed metering drum, sweeper, knocker, seed tube...

this study planed to determine appropriate planting date and proportion of alfalfa and barley in mixed cropping. experiment carried out in khair abad station of agricultural and natural resources research center of zanjan for five years (2004-2007), using split plot design which main plot was planting date (aug .15, sep.26 and oct .6) and subplot contain alfalfa to barley ratio, barley, alfalfa...

Subsoiling to a depth of 35 cm under the planting row for 3 consecutive years increased annual yields of seed cotton by 50 to 200%. Annual subsoiling was essential for maximum yields. The application of a nematicide, 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP) or aldicarb, reduced the population of Hoplolaimus columbus but did not increase seed-cotton yields over subsoiling alone. Subsoiling reduced H. ...

Algorithms based on k-means are incompetent to find clusters of arbitrary shapes, and the number of clusters needs to be pre-specified. Moreover, most grid-based clustering algorithms can not deal with boundary points accurately. To address these issues, a novel approach based on density gird-tree and similarity, DGTSstream, is proposed. In DGTSstream, each new data record will be mapped into t...
