The research was carried out in order to develop an energy mathematical model of a plant protection unit with trailed sprayer, which makes it possible optimize the parameters and operating modes, taking into account their influence on size loss crop yield. For comparison tendencies changes sprayers established practice, computational experiments were performed using developed model. object stud...

the purpose of this research was to study and predict fuel consumption rate of tractor due to different aspect ratios of chisel plow blade and to determine a general relationship equation between aspect ratio ( ) and fuel consumption rate.  an itm-399 (81 kw) tractor and a mounted-type chisel plow with 9 shanks were used. the 5 and 10 cm width chisel blades were used. the experiments were condu...

Nacrtak Over the last decades many Mediterranean sites were planted with conifers, which offered fast growth, good fibre quality and the capacity to grow on poor soils. If not thinned, these stands cannot develop strong and healthy trees and they become vulnerable to stress agents. The authors designed a complete operation for the thinning of conifer plantations under favourable terrain conditi...
