With the continuous development of the industrialization process, the countries all over the world gradually appeared lack of agricultural labor force and aging phenomenon, which was especially prominent in developed countries. However the agricultural robot with high operating efficiency, high qualities of work will play an increasingly important role in future agricultural production. Robot n...

Greenhouses require large amounts of energy, which is the dominant factor making greenhouses more emission intensive than open-field cultivation. Alternative heating systems, such as combined heat and power (CHP), biogas, industrial waste heat, are continuously being researched for reducing environmental impacts greenhouses. This paper assesses utilizing CO2 enrichment in an example to propose ...

in order to investigate the presence of carnation etched ring virus (cerv), samples of carnation (dianthus caryophyllus), sweet william (dianthus barbatus) and weed plants showing symptoms from greenhouses of khorasan razavi and northern khorasan provinces were collected in autumn 2009. polyclonal antiserum was used in order to detection of cerv by double- antibody sandwich-enzyme linked immuno...

Controlled environment agriculture in greenhouse is a promising solution for meeting the increasing food demand of world population. The accurate control indoor environmental conditions proper greenhouses enhances high crop productivity but, contemporarily, it entails considerable energy consumption due to adoption mechanical systems. This work presents new modelling approach estimating climate...

Background: Pesticides are one of the important sources of environmental pollution that influence human health. The aim of current study was to determine diazinon and benomyl residues levels in mushrooms grown in greenhouses. Methods: Mushroom samples were obtained from 10 active greenhouses of Hamadan Province, Iran, every 14 days from May 2014. The absorbance of diazinon and benomyl were me...

in the present study, for the first time, we document discovery of the predatory mite n. californicus in some rose greenhouses in yasouj, iran. furthermore, variation in spermathecal calyx shape is also discussed.
