A wide range of technology is available for application of entomopathogenic nematodes including various irrigation systems and spray equipment. The choice of application equipment, and manner in which the nematodes are applied, can have substantial impact on pest control eYcacy. For example, nozzle or pumping system types are some of the parameters that can aVect nematode performance following ...

Energy generated by the force of water in hydropower can provide a more sustainable, non-polluting alternative to fossil fuels, along with other renewable sources of energy, such as wind, solar and tidal power, bio energy and geothermal energy. Small scale hydroelectricity in Iran is well suited for “off-grid” rural electricity applications, while other renewable energy sources, such as wind, s...

This paper describes the agriOpenLink approach towards triplification of the production data generated by heterogeneous agricultural equipment, for their easy integration and querying within a common information context of various decision support applications. The presented approach has been developed within the running project agriOpenLink, which aims at improving agricultural production proc...

In India, there have been frequent incidents of accidental strangulation due to entangling of drapes used in the traditional attire of females like saree, chunni/dupatta, shawls, stoles, scarf etc during transportation, motorized machinery and instruments at workplace, factories, and home equipment.

The purpose of the study is to develop a procedure for determining parameters layout active sprinkler equipment in closed irrigation systems. This paper presents importance transforming agricultural production into highly developed sector economy which impossible without reducing its dependence on adverse climatic conditions. introduction modern computer-integrated technologies, including preci...

Background: Pesticide use among small scale rice farmers has drastically increased over time globally. Evidence shows that majority of pesticide handlers do not regard PPE during application, hence low compliance. Methods: This study explored factors associated with in Mwea Irrigation Scheme, Kenya. The was cross-sectional involving 246 respondents. Results: There level none using full and only...

Over the past two years, decrease in potato yield has been observed Moscow region. One of main reasons is unfavorable weather conditions. To obtain a guaranteed yield, as well to improve quality products, it necessary carry out reclamation works, including additional irrigation. Creation optimal water - air balance plant throughout entire growing season will increase productivity, and agricultu...
