Different furrow openers are required to be evaluated for their suitability to manage rice straw for direct planting of wheat in paddy fields. This study was carried out to assess the straw-cutting ability and draft requirements of four different dis...
As an advanced agricultural production technology, conservation tillage has been developed rapidly and adopted widely for many crops all over the world, but challenges remain with regard to dealing with excessive residues, especially for intensive ri...
To solve the problem of low straw-cutting efficiency of single-disc openers of no-till planters under conditions of high soil moisture content, a single-disc furrowing and straw-cutting device was designed based on the support-cutting principle. To i...
A laboratory investigation of abrasive waterjet cutting of wheat straws was conducted. The work was aimed at a systematic characterization of the abrasive waterjet cutting capability of wheat straws, as a potential alternative to cutting discs curren...
Cereal straw is a biomaterial with great potential: about 144 million tons of biomass are grown annually in Europe. For any use of straw (fertilizer, biofuel, etc.), efficient chopping technology, i.e., the reliable and efficient operation of mobile...
The high energy consumption and low crushing length qualification rate of traditional straw returning machines in the main maize-growing regions of northeast China make it difficult to promote straw returning operations in the region. The primnoa loc...
This article deals with the problem of harvesting combed straw by mixing it with the soil and the process of combed straw decomposition in particular. The idea and purpose of the research are also analysed in terms of circular economy, which represen...
In order to explore the laws of corn straw lateral moving and throwing, it is necessary to identify the main factors that restrict improvements in the quality of straw clearing and reductions in power consumption and then optimize the knife parameter...
In order to partially mimic the efficient lignocellulose pretreatment process performed naturally in the gut system of Pachnoda marginata larvae, two wheat straw pretreatments were evaluated: a mechanical pretreatment via cutting the straw into two d...
The objective of the present study was to establish conditions for using technology that can potentially enhance the efficiency of bovine embryos derived from in vitro fertilization (IVF) with frozen semen. Frozen semen from selected bulls can be sto...
This study explores the development of a biodegradable hydroponic substrate derived from rice straw, aiming to address environmental sustainability, resource efficiency, and nutritional challenges in agriculture. Traditional non-biodegradable substra...
Comparative studies of the classical and new design of a chaff cutter’s cutting drum have been conducted within the frames of the study in order to determine their functional characteristics at the time of cutting rye straw into pieces of speci...
Soil salinity and the use of saline groundwater are two major constraints in crop production, which covers a ~1.0 billion ha area of arid and semi-arid regions. The improved drainage function of soil can modify the salty growing environment for highe...
The electrification of agricultural machinery has become an important trend. Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC) shows considerable potential in agricultural motor control due to its low model dependence and strong anti-disturbance capability...
The aim of the present study was to establish the influence of organic selenium and a yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in combination on animal performance, physiological status, milk production and blood metabolites in indigenous and crossbred dairy...
Although the mechanized harvesting rate of maize in China has exceeded 90%, there are still shortcomings in the mechanized harvesting of silage maize. Some areas still rely on manual harvesting, which is not only inefficient but also requires more la...
The firing and co-firing of biomass in pulverized coal fired power plants around the world is expected to increase in the coming years. Torrefaction may prove to be a suitable way of upgrading biomass for such an application. For transport and storage p...
The bibliometric analysis technique was used to retrieve 232 relevant publications from the Web of Science core database published between 2002 and 2022. The basic characteristics of the literature were analyzed, and keyword co-occurrence analysis an...
