Tractive efficiency is essential in tillage operations to optimise traction performance. In this field experiment, the tractor performance was measured under different resistance conditions. This study quantified soil stress, bulk density, moisture, cone index, surface disturbance, rolling and slip rate numbers of passes The actual power used conditions collected. Fuel consumption savings were calculated between uncompacted soil, compacted permanent traffic lane. results show that stress...
In the field of precision agriculture, there is a significant shift towards data-driven methodologies that considerably enhance efficiency and sustainability agricultural operations. This research investigates application CAN-Bus GNSS data to develop comprehensive analysis machinery's operational states during ploughing operations through advanced analytics techniques, including machine learning. The primary tool utilized in this study Random Forest classifier, robust algorithm well-suited...
Farm machinery selection, operation and management directly impact crop cultivation processes outputs. A priori quantification of technical financial needs allows definition proportionate distribution available resources simplification selection process. Appropriate planning, association adjustment the power unit implement are required for soil cultivation. Consideration functional parameters implement, their proper estimation structure, productivity return on investment. Thus, a modelling...
Soil compaction was largely studied in different scenarios with laboratory and field scale experiments, various soil conditions traffic intensities. However, a detailed analysis to better understand the protective role of plant residues or cover crop mulch is still required. A test conducted Northeast Italy aiming fill this gap. Rye chosen as winter crop, growth on controlled random block experimental field. Four treatments were compared study effects root systems: roller crimper, flail...
We present a preliminary study of the sky scanning strategy for LSPE-STRIP instrument, ground-based telescope that will be installed at Teide Observatory (Tenerife, Canary Islands) in early 2019 and observe polarized emission about 25% Northern Hemisphere 43 95 GHz. The same portion observed 140, 220 240 GHz by LSPE-SWIPE, stratospheric balloon scheduled long-duration flight around North Pole during Arctic winter 2019/2020. combination data from two instruments aims constraining...
The openers are the planter components that interact with soil and several researchers studied characteristics behaviour in different conditions, but few explored effects on crop emergence, growth yield. aim of this study is to evaluate quantify any de-velopment performance three planters equipped five were compared maize a field test: double disc (DD), punch (PP), horizontal furrow winged opener (HW), vertical (VW), shank (SO). Seed spacing, depth, penetration resistance plant emergences,...

For most micromachining applications, the laser focus has to be moved across workpiece, either by steering beam or moving workpiece. To maximize throughput, this movement should as fast possible. However, required positioning accuracy often limits obtainable speed. Especially machining of small and complex features with high precision is constrained motion-system's maximum acceleration, limiting spot velocity very low values. In general, processing speed can vary widely within same job....
Seeding quality affect seeds germination, plant spacing, and final yield. The performance of the seeding unit ensures crop yield by keeping seed spacing sowing depth uniformity. Therefore, it is essential to use reliable machines during planting, which could cause varying emergence, especially in poor soil conditions. In our study, seeders was estimated using result on two types units used for corn sunflower. shows that with optimized shock absorber structure has better under unfavourable...
In the recent years increasing implementation of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) hasgreatly enhanced ability farmers to apply precision management approaches.Many research studies demonstrate how such technologies can bring great benefits extensive agriculture and viticulture, while specific are still lacking in case horticultural crops.The aim present work is make a comparison on performances single multiple operations carried out using manual assisted steering.The experimental...
