No-till cultivation suppresses broad-leaved weeds but favours grasses [PDF]
, 2006 When shifting from traditional ploughing to no-till cultivation there will be new possibilities to weeds. However, the changes in weed population are more dependent on each field than on cultivation method. We had two field trials in southern Finland (

Ban Glyphosate—Does It Affect the Swedish Farmers' Willingness to Grow Cover Crops?
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The cultivation of cover crops is one of the new Eco‐scheme practices introduced in Sweden. This study examines how the design of policy attributes of these schemes influences farmers' willingness to grow cover crops on arable land, with particular focus on the potential impact of a glyphosate ban.

How ploughing and frictional melting regulate ice-skating friction
Friction, 2023 The slipperiness of ice is well known while, for ice skating, its mechanism still needs further investigation, where the complex interactions including the thermal conduction of the skate—meltwater—ice system, the ploughing and the frictional melting of ...

Greenhouse gas emissions from soils under organic management [PDF]
, 2002 This report was presented at the UK Organic Research 2002 Conference. Land emissions of N2O, CO2 and NH3 have been subject to little study under organic systems, yet form important aspects of sustainability of such systems.

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Increased frequency of extreme weather events, particularly droughts, threatens grassland farming by destabilizing yields and farms' economic viability. We examine, theoretically and through numerical simulations, how sown plant diversity (natural insurance) influences the attractiveness of indemnity and drought index insurance (formal ...

European Journal of Applied Mathematics, 1998 A semi-infinite body, modelling the leading edge of a cutting tool or submerged hydrofoil, lies beneath a free surface in a uniform stream of infinitely-deep inviscid incompressible fluid flowing steadily under gravity. The body has horizontal upper and lower surfaces. The oncoming flow is partly diverted over, and partly under the body. The flow

Experimental and numerical study on scratching test [PDF]
, 2013 This paper presents recent investigation of the material removal mechanism in single grit grinding test. Single grit scratches were generated experimentally by using CBN grit on En24T steel and compared with numerical simulation by using finite element ...
