Soil compaction was largely studied in different scenarios with laboratory and field scale experiments, various soil conditions traffic intensities. However, a detailed analysis to better understand the protective role of plant residues or cover crop mulch is still required. A test conducted Northeast Italy aiming fill this gap. Rye chosen as winter crop, growth on controlled random block exper...

Working on new equipments to increase agricultural productivity and safety, reducing human action hardness , Cemagref and Lasmea have developed an help guidance system for agricultural vehicles. The aim of this system is to help the operator to guide the machine in order to give more attention to the order task. To reach this goal, we use a visual perception of the environment because this sens...

in this study, the performance of a fabricated fluffer was evaluated and compared with common field curing methods for alfalfa. the drying rate, baling loss and alfalfa nutrient value (dry matter and crude protein) were the criteria for evaluation. the alfalfa was cut using a mower-conditioner. a randomized complete block experimental design was used with three treatments (fluffing swathed alfa...
