Conventional methods of weed control are weather dependent, costly and labour intensive. Indiscriminate use of chemicals for controlling weeds may pose environmental problems. Sorghum allelopathy is a new technique, which has been tested for controlling weeds of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) as a substitute for chemical herbicides to reduce environmental pollution. Mature sorghum herbage contain...

The main requisite for weeding-thinning machine is the location of the main stem of the crop. In this study, crops and their positions were detected using image processing techniques with the aid of artificial neural networks. Morphological operations were performed to singulate different objects in the images. Several shape features were fed to artificial neural network to discriminate between...

The study investigates the ways in which people experience information overload in the context of monitoring everyday events through media such as newspapers and the internet. The findings are based on interviews with 20 environmental activists in Finland in 2005. The perceptions of the seriousness of problems caused by information overload varied among the participants. On the one hand, inform...

in order to comparison of weeds mechanical control for sugar beet, a rotary cultivator was designed and constructed in first year, and compared with other mechanical control in second year. five treatments, included: rotary hoe cultivator, furrower cultivator, rotary cultivator, no weeding and manual weeding were compared. experiment design was random complete blocks design (rcbd) with three re...

in order to evaluate the efficacy of some new herbicides in corn farms, a field study was conducted during the 2010 growing season in jiroft. the experimental design was completely randomized blocks, with 11 treatments and 4 replications. treatments were nicosulfuron at 2lit/ha, foramsulfuron at 2.5 lit/ha, rimsulfuron at 50 g/ha, nicosulfuron+ rimsulfuron at 175 g/ha, bromoxynil+mcpa at 1.5 li...

in order to evaluate the efficacy of maister 3.1% od (foramsulfuron 3% + iodosulfuron 0.1% + isoxadifen-ethyl 3%) in the control of weeds in corn fields, a series of experiments were conducted during 2010 in karaj, zarghan and jiroft. a series of rcbd design with four replications. treatments were application of a) nicosulfuron (kruz) at 2 lit.ha-1, b) bromoxynil+mcpa (bromicid m.a) 1.5 lit.ha-...

in order to investigate chemical control of weeds in nursery of orange coneflower and moss rose two experiments were conducted in randomized complete block design (rcbd) with four replications in 2011. treatments were per-plant trifluralin (ec48 percent) with and without incorporation with soil at 0.2 and 0.3 ml/m2, per-emergence and post-emergence oxyfluorfen (ec24 percent) at 0.2 and 0.3 ml/m...

Indian agriculture, even after the Green Revolution, is not as productive as it could potentially be. It calls for a second Green Revolution – one of „precision agriculture‟, where cutting-edge technology is used to maximize production with minimum input costs and resources. In this paper we present a multi-purpose agricultural robot to implement precision irrigation, fertilizer addition and de...

The field experiment was conducted on Agronomy research farm of Acharya Narendra Deva University Agriculture and Technology Kumarganj Ayodhya (Uttar Pradesh, India) during Kharif season 2021 2022. laid out in split-plot-design with three replications. Four establishment methods viz., Direct seeded rice, Drum seeder technique, Transplanted rice System intensification (SRI) were taken main plot, ...
