in order to study the effects of sugar cane harvest machinery traffic on bulk density and cone index variation, a survey was conducted in 10 farms of deabel khozaiee sugarcane agro-industrial company, ahvaz, in 2006. in this experiment, two types of harvesters including wheel half track and tire wheels with 14 tons of weight, versus two types of tractor and basket transporters, with 10 and 18 t...

soil compaction is a major problem in many parts of the world. the determination of soil compaction profiles requires fast sampling systems to keep pace with the change in soil moisture condition over time. soil cone penetrometers are commonly used for this purpose. a tractor-mounted soil cone penetrometer was designed and fabricated with multiple probes and the ability to determine cone index ...

tillage and press wheel weight play an important role in seedling emergence, crop establishment and growth. an optimal combination of tillage implements and suitable press wheel weights should increase grain yield. this study investigated the effect of tillage systems and press wheel weights on dry land wheat (triticum aestivum l.) seedling emergence and grain yields in izeh, khuzestan province...

soil compaction is an important aspect of agriculture and different methods are available to measure this parameter. one method is called the cone index; measuring the force required per unit area for penetration of a standard steel cone into the ground. cone penetrometers are used for cone index measurement. in this study, a tractor mounted, hydraulically-operated penetrometer was designed, bu...

We prove a number of results on the geometric complexity of special Lagrangian (SLG) T -cones in C. Every SLG T -cone has a fundamental integer invariant, its spectral curve genus. We prove that the spectral curve genus of an SLG T -cone gives a lower bound for its geometric complexity, i.e. the area, the stability index and the Legendrian index of any SLG T -cone are all bounded below by expli...

the split-block experimental design with three replications was used to study the effect of subsoiling in different distances from drain axison soil salinity,and wheat yield. the measurements included soil cone index, soil bulkdensity, infiltration rate and electrical conductivity of saturated extract. each treatment was composed of two factors. the main factors consisted of 3 different distanc...
