Precision planter monitoring system based on mobile communication network
Abstract Sowing is an important link in agricultural production and the basis for ensuring high yields and bumper harvests. Agriculture requires precision plows with good performance and stable work. However, the seeding process is in a completely closed state, and the operator relies mainly on experience to judge the operating state and performance of

Development and characterization of Brassica juncea fruticulosa introgression lines exhibiting resistance to mustard aphid [PDF]
Background: Mustard aphid is a major pest of Brassica oilseeds. No source for aphid resistance is presently available in Brassica juncea . A wild crucifer, Brassica fruticulosa is known to be resistant to mustard aphid. An artificially synthesized amphiploid, AD-4 (B. fruticulosa x B. rapa var. brown sarson) was developed for use as a bridge species to

Foliar application of wood distillate boosts plant yield and nutritional parameters of chickpea
Wood distillate sprayed on foliage of chickpea plants increases the content of most of the amino acids in the seeds, thus providing an effective and sustainable alternative to the consumption of animal‐based products for human nutrition. Abstract In the quest for eco‐friendly products with biostimulant properties, foliar application of wood distillate (

Biochar supply‐chain and challenges to commercialization
Abstract Produced through pyrolysis, biochars are used as a soil amendment. Differences in feedstock and processing result in differentiated products which impact their values in different soil conditions. Despite the enormous potential, biochars have not been widely used.

Abstract This study highlights the importance of adding value to Raphia sese (raffia) from the Congo Basin, by using a screw press to extract its pulp oil that can be used in agri‐food industry. A 2k factorial experiment was used to study the influence of the intrinsic parameters of the press (rotation speed and diameter of the output die) on the oil ...
