Steering agricultural machinery during the harvest in fields is a tedious task for drivers. Automated guidance of the machinery will not only reduce driver fatigue but also increase productivity and safety of the harvesting operation. The existing mechanical solutions for row navigation on the sugar beet fields do not provide sufficient accuracy during the harvesting process. The next important...

To further development of a simplified fertigation system using controlled-release fertilizers (CRF), we investigated the effects of differing levels of fertilizers and plant density on leaf area index (LAI), fruit yields, and nutrient use in soilless tomato cultures with low node-order pinching and high plant density during spring-summer (SS), summer-fall (SF), and fall-winter (FW) seasons. Pl...

ABSTRACT- To compare the effects of six types of non-living mulches (wheat straw, sawdust, coco peat, peat moss, transparent and black plastic) with metribuzin on yield and yield components of tomato cv "CH" and the weed control efficiency, a study was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications at School of Agriculture, Shiraz University in 2012. Plots without mulch...

in order to study of yield and qualitative characteristics of potato (aola variety), an experiment was conducted in mashhad conditions under irrigation regims and different levels of potassium fertilizer. this experiment was based on randomized copmpletely block with split plot design with three replications in khorasan razavi agricultural and natural resource research center in 2010. three lev...

There is interest in the identification of the best seeding density for new corn hybrids and on reduced use of herbicides for weed control. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of seeding density (30, 50, 70, and 90 thousand plants ha) and weed control on green ear yield and grain yield in corn cultivar AG 1051. A completely randomized block design was adopted with split-plot...

On the experimental basis of Chuvash Research Agricultural Institute-a branch Federal State Budgetary Institution “Federal Center North-East named after N. V. Rudnitsky “, influence microbiological growth regulators on biometric indicators, yield and its structural elements seed plantings potatoes Chaika variety was studied. The use leaf nutrition preparations agrotechnology combine “Azur-Niva ...
