Comparison of the results of field vane tests and pocket penetrometer tests as an example of local correlations

Science, Technology and Innovation, 2022
Field and laboratory tests of soils provide a large amount of data, but most of them are measured parameters, which are converted by various formulas and correlations into parameters used for design. General correlations does not always lead to obtaining

Modulation of oxidative metabolism and quality preservation of strawberries by a CMC–alginate bilayer edible coating during cold storage

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Strawberries are highly perishable fruits characterized by rapid postharvest deterioration, leading to significant quality losses and reduced marketability. In this study, a bilayer edible coating based on carboxymethylcellulose and sodium alginate was evaluated for its ability to preserve strawberry quality during cold storage ...

Investigation of torsional penetrometer for simulation of track-soft clay interaction

Shuili Shuiyun Gongcheng Xuebao, 2022
Underwater track vehicle will compress and shear the soil as it walks over a soft clay seabed. The compression reflects the depth of penetration and the strength of clay, and the shearing decides the traction that clay could provide.

Antimicrobial bilayer starch film containing zein electrospun fibers encapsulating thyme essential oil for cherry tomato packaging

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of thyme essential oil (TEO) encapsulated in electrospun zein fibers for use in bilayer films as active packaging for cherry tomatoes. The antimicrobial activity of TEO and bilayer films with 20%, 40%, and 60% TEO was assessed with agar diffusion and microatmosphere assays.

Ditch‐Buried Straw Return Improves Soil Physical Quality and Crop Biomass in Two Rice–Wheat Paddy Soil Systems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ditch‐buried straw return (DB) is an innovative practice combining deep tillage and straw incorporation. This study aimed to evaluate its effects on soil physical quality compared to rotary tillage (RT) and identified key constraints to crop in sandy‐loam and clay‐loam paddy soils within rice–wheat systems. Two field experiments were conducted

Improving Soil Health and Crop Yields Through Conservation Agriculture and Nutrient Management in Central India

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maintaining soil health and crop productivity in the semi‐arid Vertisols of central India poses a significant challenge under intensive agricultural practices. This 6‐year field study assessed the combined impact of different tillage methods, maize‐based crop rotations, and nitrogen management on soil's physical, chemical, and biological ...
