A flexible high-level control language is an important element in the continued task of introducing mobile agents to new application domains. One such new application domain is the use of a small mobile agent in a agricultural row crop field performing intra-row weeding. This paper defines requirements and scope of a process and behaviour based scripting language needed to control the weeding a...

in order to indicate the effect of duck's presence, anas platyrhynchos in paddy fields on rice (oryza sativa l.) yield, yield components and its effect on weed density, an experiment was carried out in baz ghaleh dezh village, located in sangar, guilan, iran in 2013. this experiment was performed based on factorial split-plot analysis conducted in a randomized complete block design (rcbd)....

the trial randomized complete block design with four replications in summer 1394 in a farm located in the share ray to study the effects of different methods of weed control on the yield and quality of forage maize varieties (sc.704) was performed. the experiment consisted of black plastic mulch, black plastic mulch silver, vetch cover crop with a density of 100 per cent, with 50 per cent vetch...

The effect of some weed control treatments (Bifonex, Tribenuron-methyl, hand weeding and unweeded check), five wheat cultivars (Sakha 69, Sids 6, Sids 7, Sids 8 and Sids 9) and their interaction on the productivity of wheat plants and associated weeds were examined under the sandy soil conditions. The obtained data indicated that total dry weight/m2 recorded at 60 days from wheat sowing signifi...

A field experiment was conducted at the Pulse Research Centre of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Ishurdi, Pabna during Kharif-II season of 2010 to evaluate the efficacy of five herbicides for controlling weeds associated with mungbean (BARI Mung-6). The five herbicides such were: Paraxon (27.6% WV Paraquat dichloride salt), M-clor 5G (Butaclor), Topstar 40 WP (40% Oxadiargyl), Hamme...

in order to study the sowing system, row distance and weeding effect on yield and yield components of intercropped maize with peanut, this experiment was conducted, as factorial based on a rcbd with three replications at the research farm of agriculture center of zabol university (iran) during growing season 2011- 2012. sowing system were four levels including sole maize, sole peanut, 50% maize...

A flexible high-level control language is an important element in the continued task of introducing mobile agents to new application domains. One such new application domain is the use of a small mobile agent in an agricultural field performing mechanical intra-row weeding. This paper defines requirements and scope of a process and behaviour based scripting language needed to control the weedin...

During the course of science education one of the recognizable and desirable changes from a novice to an expert is in their language (knowledge representation). One noticeable change is that of weeding out ambiguous expressions bringing in clarity and rigor. However, this happens not by weeding out the concept names but by choosing more and more accurate linking words (relation names). By focus...

Agricultural robots have the potential to reduce herbicide use in agriculture and horticulture through autonomous precision weeding. One of the main challenges is how to efficiently plan paths for a robot arm such that many individual weeds can be processed quickly. This paper considers an abstract weeding task among obstacles and proposes an efficient online path planning algorithm for an indu...

a field experiment was conducted in research farm of isfahan university of technology, isfahan, iran in 2011 . various weeding periods were investigated on growth and yield of potato under drip tape and furrow irrigation systems. a split plot arrangement was used in a randomized complete block design with three replications. irrigation treatments were included in main plots and periods of weed ...
