The world is severely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic health-care workers are hostile to work inside of COVID-19 hospital due social distancing. Supplying essentials food and delivering medicine in hospitals has a challenge. To address need World health organization certified sanitizing system solution for personnel surface decontamination. overcome problem developed automatic portable equipm...

Three test-plot series have been performed to gather information on runoff of sulfonamides from manured arable and grassland after sprinkler irrigation. To prepare test slurries with defined aged residues, liquid bovine manure was fortified with sulfadiazine, sulfadimidine, and sulfamethoxazole and stored short-term. After test-slurry application, the arable land was treated by soil cultivation...

We present here the design and fabrication of a self-powered and autonomous fringing field capacitive sensor to measure soil water content. The sensor is manufactured using a conventional printed circuit board and includes a porous ceramic. To read the sensor, we use a circuit that includes a 10 kHz triangle wave generator, an AC amplifier, a precision rectifier and a microcontroller. In terms ...

Fertilizer recommendations for peach cultivation in the southeastern United States were developed decades ago and may not reflect trees’ needs under current practices. Adequate fertilization young trees induces a balanced vegetative/reproductive growth, ensures efficient resource use, is environmentally sound. Droughts region are becoming more common. Supplemental irrigation peaches from time o...

Monitoring of diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella L) population on cabbage and Chinese cabbage over the past eight years has indicated that heavy rains from June to September limit the population of the insect. Therefore, during the dry period when diamondback moth is a serious pest, water was applied by sprinkler system placed 1.5 m over the cabbage crop rather than by traditional furrow irr...

The present study aimed at the development of the water deficit coefficient as a function of the Christiansen uniformity coefficient and relationship between the applied water depth and that required by a given crop, taking into account that the water distribution by the sprinkler follows a normal distribution. Another objective was to compare the experimental results to those obtained through ...

introduction: designing and management of sprinkler irrigation systems depend on the situation and location of its implementation and often rely on professional and long-term tests (9). having a good irrigation system depends on knowledge of the relationship between soil, water, plants, irrigation scheduling, the required amount of irrigation water to the water-holding capacity of soil, climate...
