A two-year field study was conducted to investigate the performance of a lightweight trash-board moldboard plow (with and without a trash-board), as influenced by stubble height and water content. Both fields were measured for the performance of a trash-board moldboard plow when used during the optimization of the plowing depth, the water content, and the reaction forces. The results showed tha...

The investigation was undertaken to enhance the decomposition process by pre-treatment of rice stubble, having higher concentration of lignin. Air-dried rice stubble was treated with 1.8 liter of 1% NaOH and autoclaved. Six cellulolytic fungi, Trichoderma harzianum, Penicillium citrinum, Curvularia lunata, Aspergillus flavus and Alternaria alternata were grown in basal synthetic medium along wi...

India is a major agricultural producer in the world, generating more than 500 million tonnes of waste per year (World Bank, 2012). The generation stubble (agricultural waste) rising rapidly, which leads to mismanagement stubble, increasing pollution, and other negative effects on country's economy community. country presently practices various methods for reducing but efforts are not satisfacto...

To improve the stubble avoidance rate of no-till wheat seeders under environment corn stubble, side-shift system was developed in present study based on deviation-perception fusion technology. Firstly, amount implement deviation compensation accurately obtained by information sensing system. Then, a fuzzy PID algorithm proposed to optimize performance control Finally, simulation model Matlab/Si...

The European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner), is a serious pest of commercial maize throughout the U.S. Corn Belt. Adults in the central and eastern Corn Belt aggregate in grassy areas around and within the cornfield where they spend the daylight hours resting and where mating activity occurs at night. Mated females leave the aggregation sites at night to oviposit in cornfields, thus us...
