The rate of occupational accidents in British agriculture is higher than in most other industries. The most common fatal accidents are those involving vehicles and machinery, falls from a height and electrocution. A substantial proportion of reported non-fatal injuries in agricultural employees is attributable to manual handling, but among self-employed farmers the contribution is much smaller....

Fly ash superficially modified with humic substances from the Megalopolis lignitic power plant was prepared and evaluated for agricultural uses. UV-vis spectrophotometry and IR spectroscopy revealed that fly ash shows high sorption efficiency towards humic substances. Adsorption proceeds stepwise via strong Coulombic and hydrophophic forces of attraction between guest and host materials. Langmu...

New and renewable energy (EBT) is a green generator because its supply abundant will not run out all the time. Renewable clean does produce pollution it from fossil fuels such as natural gas, damage environment on earth. One of generators Solar Power Plant (PLTS), one energies developed by Indonesian government to replace derived fuels. The has set National Energy Policy, targeting contribution...

This paper explains the microcontroller based fuzzy controller for an agricultural robot which can be used to plough the field, seeding and soil moisture sensing. By using the agricultural robots in field which can be used to reduce manpower and can be operated using remote controls from a distant place. In this paper , an agricultural robot is designed with an internet based remote control by ...

Nearly all tractor PTO arrangements used today consist of a rotating mechanical shaft with two or more universal joints and splined couplings. Although this method of power transfer has been the standard for decades, it continues to be a hazard to farm workers. Commonly, PTO accidents involve the snagging of clothes, resulting in the victim being rapidly and violently drawn into (and around) th...

INTRODUCTION The agricultural tractor is one of the most commonly used vehicles on farms and one of the most prominent sources of noise. This article presents an exemplary assessment of the audible and infrasonic noise levels in the cabins of selected modern wheeled agricultural tractors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Operator-perceived audible and infrasonic noise levels in the cabins were examined ...
