in order to compare the performance of different weed mangement methods in spring and waiting planting of rainfed chickpea this experiment was carrid out as split plot in randomized complete block design with four replications at maragheh agricaltural research station during 2004–2005 crop season. the main factors were planting ِdates including the waiting and spring planting. sub plots were wee...

in order to evaluate the effect of row space and weed management on weed population, chickpea yield and yield components, a factorial experiment based on rcbd with three replications was conducted at field research of agriculture college of lorestan university in cropping season of 2006-2007. in this research experimental factors were chickpea row spaces with four levels (15, 20, 30 and 40 cm w...

in this study, the effects of weed control treatments and plant density on lentil (lens culinaris) yield and yield components as well as weed control efficacy were investigated. the study was conducted according to a split-plot arrangement based on randomized completely block design in three replicates in karaj in 2007-2008. the weed control chemical treatments in four levels (trifluralin herbi...

mechanical weeding is one of the non-chemical methods to control weeds. in this paper a ‎new mechanism has been presented for mechanical cultivation. the machine works based on ‎the manual tools operation, which farmers still use in small scale for weeding and consists of a ‎number of four-bar linkage mechanisms. each mechanism consists of a blade which moves ‎forward (active course) and backwa...

to investigate the effects of intercropping of basil (ocimum basiilicum l.) and cowpea (vigna unguiculata l.), different levels of nitrogen fertilizers on basil and cowpea yield, an experiment was carried out during 2010 and 2011. experimental factor were included weed treatment (weeding and unweeding), three levels of nitrogen fertilizer (0, 50 and 100 kg ha-1), different planting ratio, (p1: ...

This paper presents a mechanical control method for precise weeding based on deep learning. Deep convolutional neural network was used to identify and locate weeds. A special modular weeder designed, which can be installed the rear of mobile platform. An inverted pyramid-shaped tool equipped in shovel out weeds without being contaminated by soil. The weed detection implemented an embedded syste...

The weeding project at Southeast Missouri State University presented an opportunity to identify different variables, i.e. shelf level, book jackets, added entries, and untraced series, that impacted a book’s circulation behavior and to consider the relationship between circulation and the Internet/online database activity. Using the political science collection, the investigator found that shel...

This paper describes our participation in the TREC Legal experiments in 2007. We have applied novel normalization techniques that are designed to slightly favor longer documents instead of assuming that all documents should have equal weight. We have also developed a new method for reformulating query text when background information is provided with an information request. We have also experim...
