The objective of the paper is to present modifications done in hy brid gr eenhouse solar dryers make them more efficient. As we re developed ov ercome various limitations other types dryers. Due dryers, effect on heat transfer parameters like coefficient, drying time, efficiency, etc. studied and also encapsulated paper. It found that most hybrid maximum temperature chamber around 65–80°C. This...

This article highlights the composition of wastewater from poultry farms and their suitability for irrigation agricultural crops. It has been established that chemical demand is 480–850 mg О 2 /l, which indicates a high level contamination with organic products. Coarse finely dispersed substances vary within 430–720 mg/l, biochemical oxygen consumption on fifth day (BOD5) 0.39–0.74 g at time ma...

A fundamental step in conserving biodiversity is identification of quality habitat needed to sustain populations of target species. We used coarse scale environmental features (soil water holding capacity, soil texture, slope, elevation, and proximity to drainage channels) to predict habitat suitability for four species of desert amphibians in Big Bend National Park, USA: Scaphiopus couchii, Bu...

In this paper we investigate properties of multicriteria methods that are used for building land-use suitability assessment criteria. We identify and describe fundamental properties that are of interest in the land-use suitability analysis and the design of suitability maps. The existing multicriteria methods can be evaluated from the standpoint of their ability to support the desirable propert...

Selo District has great potential for developing plantation crops; however, the amount of production still needs to grow. The purpose this study is determine soil suitability class crops (arabica coffee, tobacco, cloves, cocoa, and tea), identify limiting factors in area, suggest ways overcome them increase land classes. was conducted District, Boyolali Regency from November 2022 - December 202...

Plantation land expansion in forest areas has been a problem for some time as an effort to meet rising food demands, so suitability measures are required. The development of the Analythical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Geographic Information System (GIS) combination found be effective determining suitability, but still rarely plantation crops areas. study's goal was integrate AHP GIS methods eva...

Post-market environmental monitoring (PMEM) of genetically modified (GM) crops is required by EU legislation and has been a subject of debate for many years; however, no consensus on the methodology to be used has been reached. We explored the suitability of carabid beetles as surrogates for the detection of unintended effects of GM crops in general PMEM surveillance. Our study combines data on...

Adult parasitoids of pest insects rely on floral resources for survival and reproduction, but can be food-deprived in intensively managed agricultural systems lacking these resources. Stink bugs are serious pests for crops in southwest Georgia. Provisioning nectar-producing plants for parasitoids of stink bugs potentially can enhance biocontrol of these pests. Knowledge of spatial and temporal ...

BACKGROUND Lower Saxony (Germany) has the highest installed electric capacity from biogas in Germany. Most of this electricity is generated with maize. Reasons for this are the high yields and the economic incentive. In parts of Lower Saxony, an expansion of maize cultivation has led to ecological problems and a negative image of bioenergy as such. Winter triticale and cup plant have both shown...

Extensive livestock grazing even in unsuitable land has increasingly grown in most parts of semi-arid rangeland. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to identify suitable land for livestock grazing for optimum utilization while causing minimum impact to the environment. This paper adapted the schematic model based on the concepts presented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of suitabi...
