Cell phone app to optimize irrigation cycles for US crops

open access: yesMeteorological Applications, Volume 27, Issue 2, March/April 2020., 2020
Evaporation losses can be reduced by adapting a scheduled irrigation time and finding the right irrigation cycle. The study presents all steps to develop a smart phone app that predicts the optimal irrigation timing for the incoming 15 days on a sample of 80 crops in any location in the United States using a soil water balance approach with data ...

Determination of Physical and Mechanical properties of Sugarcane Single-Bud Billet [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Determining the physical and mechanical properties of sugarcane single-bud billets is a critical step in the mechanical structure design of a sugarcane planter. In this study, the TaiTang F66 cultivar sugarcane samples are analyzed. The moisture content of the billets is found to range from 63.78% to 77.72%, and the average density is 244.67 kg/m3. The
