Traditionally, crops are cultivated in soil-based open field systems. Seasonality, environmental degradation, urbanization, and food security issues have replaced open-field systems with modern plant production Soilless culture is one of the systems, which involves much higher use available resources. The presented study provides information about currently accessible soilless discussed aeroponic system. Compared to other reduce water usage through continuous circulation. However, not...
Over the last decade, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, have been broadly utilized in various agricultural fields, such crop management, monitoring, seed sowing, and pesticide spraying. Nonetheless, autonomy is still a crucial limitation faced by Internet of Things (IoT) UAV systems, especially when used sprayer UAVs, where data needs to be captured preprocessed for robust real-time obstacle detection collision avoidance. Moreover, because objective operational...
This study provides insights into the feasibility of a desiccant dehumidification-based Maisotsenko cycle evaporative cooling (M-DAC) system for greenhouse air-conditioning application. Conventional techniques include direct cooling, refrigeration systems, and passive/active ventilation. which are commonly used in Pakistan; however, they either not feasible due to their energy cost, or cannot efficiently provide an optimum microclimate depending on regions, growing seasons, crop being...
Different furrow openers are required to be evaluated for their suitability manage rice straw direct planting of wheat in paddy fields. This study was carried out assess the straw-cutting ability and draft requirements four different disc-type (notched, toothed, smooth-edge single disc, double disc) no-till The were attached an in-field traction rig equipped with S-type load cells, tested using three operating depths 30, 60, 90 mm, traveling speeds 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 m s−1. Vertical horizontal...
Conservation tillage is an energy efficient and low cost system to improve soil environment compared with conventional systems. However, the rice residue management becomes "impossible achieve" task due high moisture content at harvest time thickness of straw. Disc type furrow openers are used for both seed drilling as well straw cutting during no sowing. A study was conducted evaluate draft requirement performances different sized in no-till paddy conditions. Double disc opener tested on...
Rainfall–runoff modelling has been at the essence of research in hydrology for a long time. Every modern technique found its way to uncover dynamics rainfall–runoff relation different basins world. Different techniques machine learning have extensively applied understand this hydrological phenomenon. However, literature is still scarce cases extensive work on comparison streamline (ML) and impact wavelet pre-processing their performance. Therefore, study compares performance single decision...
For granular materials, discrete element modeling is one of the best computer tools to simulate their behavior and interactions. A field experiment was carried out evaluate performance disc furrow openers in paddy soil. Discrete simulation done develop a 3D DEM model for notched, toothed double using EDEM software. Hertz Mindlin contact with bonding applied fulfill obligations soil moisture between cohesive particles. Simulated experimental data were compared determine applicability...
Precision planters are important machines in the regime of modern technological agriculture. Field conditions, seed metering system and machine operating parameters affect pneumatic planter performance. The was evaluated to determine effect three tillage levels (L1, L2, L3) four travel speeds (S1, S2*, S3 S4). sowing uniformity observed with respect horizontal distribution seeds within a row described by using precision index (Ip), multiple (Imult), miss-seeding (Imiss) quality feed (Iqf)....
Determination of the mechanical properties (rupture force, deformation, hardness, and toughness) maize grain could be a significant concern for designing harvester, thresher, handling, processing, storage equipment. Thus, present research was conducted to assess vertical lateral rupture toughness (Beijing Denong, Lianchuang, Suyu 20, Liyu 88 29) influenced by different moisture contents (11.2%, 17.5%, 21.3%) compressive loading speeds (5, 10, 15, 25 mm/min, respectively). Besides, mean...
Autonomous sprayer UAVs are one of the most used aerial machines in modern agriculture. During flight missions, some common narrow obstacles appear flying zone. These non-detectable from satellite images and biggest challenges for autonomous farmland. This work introduces an obstacle avoidance architecture specifically UAVs. has generality spraying UAV problem, it reduces reliance on global mapping approach computes avoiding path based onboard sensor fusion system real-time. Moreover,...
In a novel approach, certain organic wastes byproducts of agro industries were assessed for their ability to support maize growth and Zn bioavailability in grain. field experiment, (Zea mays) was supplemented with farm yard manure (FYM), press mud (PM), fisheries (FM), slaughter house waste (SHW) combination soil application (ZnS) foliar spray (ZnF) recommended doses N:P:K (140:100:60 kg ha−1), respectively. Besides assessing the growth, grain, straw yield, grain also studied. Organic...
The grouser height and soil conditions have a considerable influence on the tractive performance of single-track shoe. A bin-based research was conducted to assess shoe at different moisture contents clay loam soil. Eight (7.5, 12, 16.7, 21.5, 26.2, 30.7, 35.8, 38%) three heights (45, 55, 60 mm) were comprised during this study. parameters (thrust, running resistance, traction) determined by penetration test. sensor-based bin designed for tests, which included system (AC motor, loadcell,...
Target and off-target spray depositions determine the spray’s effectiveness impact on environment. A decisive stage in measurement of deposition drift is selecting an appropriate sampling approach under field conditions. There are various approaches available for drift, during evaluation ground sprayers used UAV sprayer assessment, In this study, two (water-sensitive paper, glass strip collectors) were compared to analyze target zones. The results showed a variation estimation deposits among...
