Development of Air Assisted Sprayer for Greenhouse Floriculture Crops
Floriculture is one of the major sectors in Indian agriculture. Main threats to floriculture production are insects, pests and diseases. Therefore, a motor operated air assisted sprayer was developed for greenhouse ... -
Development of Drought Severity – Areal Extent – Frequency Curves in The Parambikulam - Aliyar Basin, Tamil Nadu, India
Assessment and characterization of regional droughts provide useful information for sustainable water resources planning and management. In the present study, the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) a most widely used ... -
Development of Multivariate Regression Model for Quantification of Proximate Content in Vigna Radiata Using Fourier Transform –NIR Spectroscopy
The Fourier Transform Near Infrared (FT-NIR) absorbance spectra (12800-3600 cm-1) of 222 green gram samples was used to build calibration models for the determination of the content of protein, fat and carbohydrate. The ... -
Development of Pedal Operated Syzygium Cumini Tree Shaker with Catching Unit
The objective of this research work was to develop a pedal operated tree shaker for jamun (Syzygium cumini) fruit harvesting. The prototype machine was constructed and tested on jamun fruit. The tree shaker was powered by ... -
Development of PLS Model for Rapid Estimation of Protein Content of Rice Using Fourier Transform - Near Infrared Spectroscopy
This study attempted the feasibility to use near infrared spectroscopy as a nondestructive analysis method to qualitative and quantitative assessment of rice quality of Central Warehousing Corporation, India. A PLS model ... -
Development of Soil Profile Temperature Prediction Models for Bare and Solarized Field Conditions
Soil solarization is a simple and effective technique for controlling problems like weeds and soil borne pathogens by means of increasing moist soil temperature through trapping heat by using the thin transparent polyethylene ... -
The Development of Vertical Patternator to Evaluate the Hydraulic Sprayers
In Egypt, it could be not able to test the vertical distribution for agriculture sprayer machines this may be due to the poor measuring instruments such as vertical patternator. The aim of the current research is develop ... -
Discrete Element Method (DEM) Modelling of Cohesive Soil-Tool Interaction
The soil tool interaction is an important role in modern agricultural researches. In this paper a cultivation tine tool was simulated in operation with the working speed of 1 m s-1 and working depth of 20 cm using discrete ... -
Distribution of Airborne Dust Particles in a Tied-Cows Barn
Among others, an airborne dust particles concentration is a crucial microclimate quality parameter of each livestock building. Increasing the concentration of dust particles affects the indoor air quality and health of ... -
Effect of a Polymer on Mitigating Ammonia Emission from Liquid Dairy Manure
Reducing ammonia (NH3) emissions from manure has been a great interest for academic, regulators, dairy farmers, and the general public. Fresh liquid dairy manure was collected from a dairy central pit. A polymer (MTMTM) ... -
Effect of Agricultural Navigation Without RTK Correction on Spring Sowing
It is carried out a comparative investigation of seed drill guiding accuracy in two ways. In the first way the drill is guided by a conventional disk marker and in the second way - by agricultural navigation without RTK ... -
Effect of Cold Plasma on Mortality of Tribolium Castaneum on Maida Flour
Cold plasma is an emerging non thermal processing technology and is one of the novel promising methods for insect mortality. In order to study whether cold plasma could be suitable for control and to investigate the effect ... -
Effect of Design Parameters on Mechanical Harvesting of Carrots
The effect of design parameters on mechanical harvesting of carrot were studied by conducting experiments on a test set-up having provision to vary design variables. The test set-up consists of digging unit and soil ... -
Effect of Drying On Physic-Chemical and Nutritional Properties of Fenugreek Leaves
Drying of fenugreek green leaves (Trigonella foenum-graecum) was conducted by using desiccant dehumidifier dryer at different temperatures viz. 45, 50 and 55°C. Obtained experimental data including moisture content, ... -
Effect of Feed Rate, Concave Clearance and Peripheral Speed on the Performance Evaluation of Pre Thresher for Onion Umbels (Allium cepa var. aggregatum L.)
Freshly harvested, sun dried onion umbels consists of florets attached to the hard umbel heads. Conventional threshing method involves tractor treading, rubbing umbels using rubber slippers on hard surface and beating with ... -
Effect of Freeze Drying On Qualities of Fresh Cow Milk and Soy Cheeses
The effect of freeze drying on the qualities of fresh cow milk and soy milk cheeses was investigated, with a view to preserve and present them in a more stable and portable form. The cow milk cheese and soy milk cheese ... -
Effect of Process Conditions on Sandbox Seed Oil Yield by Mechanical Expression: A Response Surface Approach
Cost of solvent oil extraction methods has made mechanical oil expression a desirable alternative. The effect of process variables on mechanical oil expression from sandbox seed was studied. The experimental design used ... -
Effect of Temperature and Immersion Duration on Osmotic Dehydration of Onion Slice
Water loss, solid gain, weight loss and moisture content of osmotic dehydrated onion (Allium cepa L.) were studied. The effect of temperature and time to onion slices during osmotic dehydration for the onion slices were ... -
Effect of Temperature and Pressureo on Moisture Diffusion Characteristics of Paddy (Cv. MTU 1075)
Parboiling is an important and energy intensive unit operation in rice processing. Proper management of parboiling can reduce the energy requirement during parboiling and the associated cost. Soaking and steaming are the ... -
Effects of Irrigation on Yield and Composition of Principal Elements of Nutrients in Maize-Growing Soil
Extensive organic production under irrigation conditions requires greater amounts of NPK fertilisers. Furthermore, the mobility of fertilisers, especially of nitrogen, is greater under the increased soil moisture content, ...
