TILLAGE PRACTICES AND NITROGEN APPLICATION INFLUENCED SOIL PHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND WHEAT PRODUCTION

Pakistan Journal of Agriculture, Agricultural Engineering & Veterinary Sciences, 2014
Tillage practice and N management was hypothesized to play a significant role in crop production by influencing soil physical properties. Present field experiment was conducted to assess the effect of different tillage practices and nitrogen rates on ...

Nonmulberry Silk Fibroin Doping Boosts Charge Transfer and Charge Injection in Aligned Polypyrrole‐Silk Scaffolds for Low‐Voltage Neurostimulation

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Conductive silk‐polypyrrole scaffolds couple redox stability with cell‐affinitive peptides present innately in an endogenous silk fibroin, enabling optimized electrical stimulation to drive neurite outgrowth. Findings establish electrochemical‐biological link for biomaterial design rules for smart nerve guidance conduits that can provide low voltage ...

Rainfall induced changes in soil moisture: A comparative study of conventional and strip tillage

Soil and Water Research
Strip tillage is a very popular form of conservation tillage that is used in places with a higher risk of soil erosion. It is commonly accepted that strip tillage reduces the effects of water erosion; however, the exact way this effect is produced is ...

Effects of Tillage Methods on Penetration Resistance, Bulk Density and Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity in a Clayey Soil Conditions

Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2011
Effects of six tillage practices on saturated hydraulic conductivity (HC), soil bulk density (BD), and penetration resistance (PR) were evaluated for a clayey soil (Typic Haploxererts) under semi-arid Mediterranean conditions in a three year study (2006 ...

Reducing Personalization Time and Energy Cost While Walking Outdoors with a Portable Exosuit

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Rapid Real‐World Optimization! An AF‐based human‐in‐the‐loop optimization strategy rapidly personalizes a portable hip extension exosuit for incline walking. Real‐time Bayesian optimization of assistive force significantly reduces metabolic energy—up to 16.2%—while converging in just 3 min 24 s.

Effects of Reduced Tillage on Weed Pressure, Nitrogen Availability and Winter Wheat Yields under Organic Management

Agronomy, 2019
Reduced tillage reduces soil erosion and increases topsoil organic matter compared with conventional tillage. However, yields are often reported to be lower, presumably, due to increased weed pressure and a slower N mineralization under organic farming ...

Weeds and crop yields under conservation tillage in organic farming. [PDF]

, 2010
Conservation tillage in conventional agriculture tends to make the cropping systems more dependent on herbicides. Organic farming principles could solve this problem. However, direct drilling under a cover crop in organic farming remains difficult.
