Variable Rate Control System Designed for Spinner Disc Fertilizer Spreader – “Pre Fer”
The objectives of this study were: development of fertilizer rate control system which allows applying of granular fertilizer at variable rates, adopting it into a commercial granular fertilizer spreader, and then investigation ... -
Aerodynamic and Solids Circulation Rates in Spouted Bed Drying of Cardamom (Part 1)
Two dimensional spouted bed units with flexible bed dimensions were used with draft tubes to study spouting pressure drop and minimum spouting velocity, solids circulation rate and average cycle time. The data were collected ... -
Gains Obtained in Hybrid Systems of Energy Generation Solar Photovoltaic and Wind Power for Rural Electrification with the Use of Fuzzy Logic Controllers Based
This paper presents the gains from the application of fuzzy logic control in a hybrid power generation wind-photovoltaic for small rural. The use of alternative and renewable energy has been increasingly discussed in all ... -
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) ... -
The Role of the Strategy in the Innovation Ability of the Hungarian Agricultural Machinery Manufacturers
The current production of the Hungarian agricultural machinery manufacturing sector, which used to see better days, lags behind the production of the previous years to a great extent. The organisational structure of the ... -

Using the Glass Fibres in Recycling Agricultural Plastic Waste
The wide-spread presence of plastic material in municipal and agricultural waste has significantly raised the ecology concern in Europe leading to laws and regulations aimed at controlling and reducing waste production, ... -
Spectroscopic Approach of Winter Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) Nutrition and Pest Control
Laboratory reflectance spectroscopy is a routine evaluation technique in many scientific areas. The objective is to present the capabilities of a portable spectro-radiometer which can be used both for field and laboratory ... -
Soil Moisture Influence on the Energy of Agricultural Processes
This article exposes the results related to one of the issues left open after a series of articles mentioned in the bibliography, which occurred in the years 2011-2013. A series of articles that were mentioned before ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Water Droplets Analysis: the Classical and Quantum Hydrodynamic Frameworks
The design of a sprinkler irrigation system is always associated with a full understanding of the kinematics of the droplets during their aerial path. Resolving this problem involves both theoretical and experimental ... -
Comparative Evaluation of Production Variants of Animal Feed Plant
A pelletized feed production unit to cater the need of nutritionally balanced, optimally processed, cost and time effective availability of feed for livestock /aqua farming may be adapted as a potential business enterprise. ... -
Mechanized Harvesting of Leafy Parsley Crops in the Region of South Banat
So far, many types, styles and sizes of mowing equipment has been developed and introduced in the agricultural practice. Therefore, leaf crops harvesting seems to be easier to mechanize with respect to other cultivars. ... -
