Weed management is one of the most important aspects of crop productivity; knowing the amount and the locations of weeds has been a problem that experts have faced for several decades. This paper presents three methods for weed estimation based on de...
Carqueja (Baccharis crispa Spreng.) has been primarily used as a medicinal plant around the world. Commercially, the essential oil content of carqueja leaves is the most valuable crop productivity variable. We evaluated the effect of irrigation manag...
Model simulations for bioenergy harvest planning need to utilize equipment-capacity relationships for equipment operating under the high-yield conditions typical of a biomass crop. These performance assumptions have a direct bearing on the estimates...
The problem of finding an optimal solution for the slurry application process is casted as a capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP) in which by considering the vehicle’s capacity, it is required to visit all the tracks only once to fully co...
Plant stress is one of major issues that cause significant economic loss for growers. The labor-intensive conventional methods for identifying the stressed plants constrain their applications. To address this issue, rapid methods are in urgent needs....
The aims of this research were to evaluate the influence of intermittent microwave drying on the moisture diffusion and color qualities of organically and conventionally grown sweet red peppers and mathematically express drying kinetic data. Pepper s...
The present study comparatively investigates the potential of waste plastic utilization as a feedstock for the production of liquid fuels to satisfy the rising liquid fuel demands of the transportation industry while simultaneously resolving the glob...
The conversion of pig manure into organic fertilizer has become a research hotspot in agricultural engineering, and many types of pig manure processing machinery have been derived. The discrete element method (DEM) can be used in the research of pig...
