Systems development in agricultural mechanization with special reference to soil tillage and weed control : a case study for West Africa [PDF]

, 1976
IntroductionMechanization in West Africa has been of limited importance and influence for farming and manual labour is the dominant power input. At present only about 0.07 kW per ha is applied, while at least about 0.37 kW is desirable to obtain high ...

Strengthening Constitutive Motifs in Isotropic Fibrous Hydrogel for Exceptional Damage Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An orientation‐free strategy is reported for fabricating damage‐resistant hydrogels by strengthening constitutive motifs in isotropic fibrous (IF) networks. Through nonsolvent quenching followed by salting‐out, IF networks are generated and their multiscale constituents are subsequently reinforced, yielding dense and crystalline isotropic nanofiber ...

Integrating Puccinia punctiformis, a biological control agent, into Cirsium arvense management in semi-arid organic agriculture

Biological Control
Puccinia punctiformis is an obligate fungal pathogen of Cirsium arvense, a perennial rhizomatous weed common in temperate ecosystems. Cirsium arvense is difficult to manage in organic agriculture and integrated management is necessary to reduce its ...

Tillage Management and Soil Organic Matter, 2005 [PDF]

, 2005
Tillage systems play a significant role in agricultural production throughout Iowa and the Midwest. It has been well documented that increased tillage intensities can reduce soil organic matter in the topsoil due to increased microbial activity and ...

Nascent Extracellular Matrix Converts Biomaterial Cues into Cell Fate Decisions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uncovers a tri‐directional interplay among cells, hydrogels, and their nascent extracellular matrix. Hydrogel norbornene modification alters CD44‐mediated cell–hydrogel interactions, which shape nascent matrix deposition, composition, and spatial organization.

Mechanistic Insights Into Instability From Single Void Dynamics at the Lithium Metal‐Solid Electrolyte Interface

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Void morphology at the lithium metal‐solid electrolyte contact governs electrochemical contact stability in all‐solid‐state batteries. This work resolves the competing roles of electrochemical reaction, bulk vacancy diffusion, and distinct surface diffusion pathways in dictating the size and morphology evolution of a single void and its transition to a

Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration and Distribution, Soil Biological Characteristics, and Winter Wheat Yields Under Different Tillage Practices in Long-Term Field Experiment

Agronomy
The organic carbon content of soil (SOC) is considered a key factor for soil health and plays an important role in climate change. Conservation tillage systems promote carbon sequestration and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A long-term field experiment

FARMERS' DECISION PROCESSES AND ADOPTION OF CONSERVATION TILLAGE [PDF]

In a transect survey of crop residue levels in 1995 and 1996, two Minnesota counties had very different percentages of cropland with desired residue cover even though the soil types were similar.
