A cowpea threshing machine was designed, constructed and evaluated in the Department of Agricultural Bio-Environmental Engineering Technology, Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo, Ondo State, Nigeria. The using locally available materials with primary aim reducing drudgery attached to traditional method cowpea. consisted hopper, unit, cleaning outlet a single phase electric motor. based on varied opera...

Rice is a widely cultivated food crop worldwide, and threshing one of the most important operations combine harvesters in grain production. It complex, nonlinear, multi-parameter physical process. The flexible device has unique advantages reducing damage rate already been major concerns engineering design. Using measured test database bench, rotation speed cylinder (RS), clearance concave sieve...

multistage and semi-mechanized harvesting of rice in khouzestan province, iran, causes much loss. depending on available facilities and conditions, either spike-tooth or rasp-bar cylinders are employed with either direct or indirect combine harvesting methods. the present research studied the effect of these different harvesting methods on the amount of losses in two rice varieties in 2001-2002...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to report the patients who were admitted to our hospital with upper extremity injuries due to threshing machine, to determine the most appropriate classification, to estimate the treatment modalities, and to discuss the prevention methods. METHODS Twenty-five patients who had suffered injuries sustained by a threshing machine were retrospectively investiga...

in order to evaluate the effects of organic fertilizer complements application (aminol forte, fosnutren and kadostim) on grain yield, milling properties and nitrogen use efficiency of two rice (oryza sativa l.) cultivars, a field experiment in factorial layout and a randomized complete block design with 10 treatments and 3 replications was conducted at rice research institute of iran in 2009. t...
