In a field experiment, spreader plants of variety N13 infected with ratoon stunting disease were interplanted with healthy plants of indicator variety NC0376. When cane knives were not disinfected during manual harvesting, 62% ofstalks ofNC0376 down-row from the spreader plants were found to be infected after one harvest, and almost all the stalks were infected after three harvests. This compar...

Harvesting trials were performed during the winter and spring of 2003–2004 in central Oregon to compare the costs, production rates, and soil compaction impacts of two systems for harvesting western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis). The two systems compared were a conventional system consisting of manual felling, delimbing, and bucking using a chainsaw and skidding logs with a rubber-tired grap...

Changes in teak harvesting techniques due to the Covid-19 outbreak was investigated at research locations community forests. This aims identify that used The each process, including felling, skidding, and timber transportation processes were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis. results showed technique wood process a semi-mechanical combined use of manual mechanical equipment. Manua...

A need has been identified for more advanced technology to assist harvesting in the macadamia nut industry. An accurate automated method for counting nuts as they are harvested is required to replace manual labour in varietal strain investigation. A machine vision approach of counting the nuts in real time as they are collected has been chosen. This paper presents a machine vision system that i...

The purpose of the Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot (EATR) TM project is to develop and demonstrate an autonomous robotic platform able to perform longrange, long-endurance missions without the need for manual or conventional re-fueling, which would otherwise preclude the ability of the robot to perform such missions. The system obtains its energy by foraging – engaging in biologically-i...

In today's competitive world, robot designs are developed to simplify and improve quality wherever necessary. The rise in technology modernization has led people from the unskilled sector shift skilled sector. agricultural sector's solution for harvesting fruits vegetables is manual labor a few other agro bots that expensive have various limitations when it comes harvesting. Although robots pre...

Statistical Machine Translation (MT) systems have achieved impressive results in recent years, due in large part to the increasing availability of parallel text for system training and development. This paper describes recent efforts at Linguistic Data Consortium to create linguistic resources for MT, including corpora, specifications and resource infrastructure. We review LDC's three-pronged a...
