Farmers, commodities dealers, water managers, and others have long sought to forecast production of major crops through the use of models requiring some sort of weather input. Steady strides have been made recently in developing physiological models of crops such as wheat and rice. Such models should include daily minimum and maximum temperatures, precipitation, and solar radiation. Up to now, ...

The objective of the research is to develop a robot farming system using multiple robots. The research will discuss the application of multiple robots in Japan agriculture for rice, wheat and soybean. The robot farming system includes a rice planting robot, a seeding robot, a robot tractor, a combine robot harvester and various implements attached on the robot tractor. One of the key elements o...

Although there have been many studies on the degree of overfertilization, are few systematic comparative analyses overfertilization three major grain crops (wheat, rice, and maize) over a long time span in recent years. Whereas influence government efforts, individual characteristics farmers, economic factors farmer’s fertilization decision ignored financial consideration farmers. This study ai...

Farmers in the Paranapanema Valley (São Paulo, Brazil) have reported problems with flocks of Eared Doves (Zenaida auriculata) eating sprouting soybeans. In this region these birds breed colonially in sugar-cane, and eat four crop seeds, using 70% of the dry weight, in the following order of importance: maize, wheat, rice, and soybeans. Three weeds (Euphorbia heterophylla, Brachiaria plantaginea...

background: the agricultural sector is one of the most important sectors in production. the safety and health of farmers are important factors that can cause a significant increase in efficiency and productivity. the aim of this study was the assessment of musculoskeletal disorders (msds) using the ovako working posture analysis system (owas) and evaluation of the effect of ergonomic training o...

There is an urgent need for identification of eco-friendly and cleaner production systems that are more productive, profitable, efficiently use energy/water/carbon input environmentally safer. Under context, a long-term experiment was conducted during 2019–21 at the farmers’ fields Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Gaya, Bihar. The main objective study to evaluate productivity diverse cropping irriga...

The main purpose of the study was to investigate the factors affecting the sustainable management of agricultural water in Hamedan. The study population included all wheat farmers possessing irrigated farms in Hamedan city (N=1800). Of these farmers a sample of 317 people has been selected by using randomized multi-stage sampling method. The data were collected through a questionnaire's tool wi...

Recent IPCC report and several other studies indicate a probability of 10-40% loss in crop production in India and other countries of South Asia with increases in temperature by 2080-2100 and decrease in irrigation water. India could lose 4-5 million tons wheat production with every rise of 1C temperature throughout the growing period even after considering carbon fertilization (but no adaptati...

A user-friendly computerized decision model has been developed for selecting profitable site-specific herbicide applications in winter wheat. The model is based on six years of field research in southeastern Washington State, USA. The model calibrates herbicide applications to management unit weed densities, soil organic matter, soil moisture, and preceding management, as well as to expected in...

The study has assessed the performance of crop insurance scheme on beneficiary and non-beneficiary farms in Salumber tehsil of Udaipur district during 2008-09. The study has revealed that farm income per family is higher on beneficiary farms as compared to non-beneficiary farms. The progress of crop insurance scheme in Rajasthan has been found positive, as is evidenced through compound and line...
