Abstract From the point of view environmental protection, it is reasonable to stop using disposable tableware that has been made from polluting plastics and start biodegradable compostable products. Biodegradable significantly more environment nature friendly than plastic drinkware. The by-products (mostly bran) milling wheat, corn rice palm leaves are used for production tableware. In Baltic States, including Estonia, use wheat bran, rye bran buckwheat mixtures these brans. aim this...

In order to model and optimise the structural parameters of working parts agricultural machines, including harvesting mechanical properties culture harvested must be known. The purpose this article is determine blueberry plant's stem; more precisely tensile strength consequent elastic modulus E. achieve goal, measuring instrument Instron 5969L2610 was used accompanying software BlueHill 3 for analysing test results. tested stems were collected from plantation Farm Marjasoo. diameters...

Biodegradable and compostable tableware is significantly more environment nature friendly than disposable drinkware made of plastic. Tableware wheat bran, but also corn rice bran already commercially available. It reasonable to use the by-products milling other cereals, like rye barley oat for production tableware. The aim this research was explore possibilities from cereals bran. In order achieve aim, compacts were moulded mixtures (wheat bran) using various work modes. moulding included...

The shortage of commercially available and reliable laboratory spraying equipment for testing different preparations can be a major obstacle to achieve field-comparable results in the conditions. RNA interference is natural biological process which, when used plant protection, designed method combining sustainability minimal environmental side effects. Spraying dsRNA field-relevant that should ensure consistency repeatability if conducted laboratory. We built portable spray device use tested...
