Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInfluence of Mineral Fertilizers and Methods of Basic Tillage on the Yield and Oil Content of SunflowerBeybit Nasiyev, Aida DukeyevaThe purpose of the study was to evaluate the influence of mineral fertilizers and methods of basic tillage on the yield and oil content of sunflowers in the north of Kazakhstan. The experiment was conducted in the agricultural experimental Station Zarechnoye limited liability partnership with southern thin chernozem soils. Records and observations of the growth and development of sunflowers were … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 3 · 23 May 2023 · 5,254 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Vision System Based on Time-of-Flight and RGB Cameras Applied to Robotic Tree Peony Fruit HarvestingJiaming Liu, Dong Zhao, Tianxing Li, Jian ZhaoTree peony is a deciduous shrub endemic to China and the Peony Seed Oil (PSO) is an important plant oil resource. However, at present, fruits harvesting of peony are mainly completed by manual work with low efficiency. In response to the need for a mechanized operation, a multi-sources vision system based on Time-Of-Flight (TOF) and RGB cameras was set up … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 19 Aug 2020 · 6,329 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECTIVENESS OF A PARTICIPATORY ACTION ORIENTED TRAINING INTERVENTION APPROACH AMONG HARVESTERS IN OIL PALM PLANTATIONNg Yee Guan, Shamsul Bahri Mohd Tamrin, Ismi Arif Ismail et al.Consistent with the global demand for palm oil, the intensified upstream harvesting activities of oil palms’ fresh fruit bunches, despite the harvesters evidences of various ergonomics risk factors leading to musculoskeletal disorders should be a cause for concern. Thus, this study describes the effectiveness of a modified and locally adapted Participatory Action-Oriented Training intervention program in improving the working environment … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 8 Feb 2014 · 8,980 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPores Reconfiguration in Compacted Bernam Series SoilZuraidah Yahya, Aminuddin Husin, Jamal Talib et al.Problem statement: The introduction of mechanization in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) plantations resulted in soil compaction with increased bulk density and reduced porosity due to reconfiguration of soil pores. This could be a serious problem in the future as soil pores are important for aeration and water movement. Approach: This study was carried out to determine the effect of mechanization … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2011 · 8,681 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOil Palm (Elaeis guineensis) Roots Response to Mechanization in Bernam Series SoilZuraidah Yahya, Aminuddin Husin, Jamal Talib et al.Problem statement: Field practices involving the use of mechanization in oil palm plantations could result in soil compaction which alters the soil physical properties. The gradual deterioration of soil physical conditions could restrict the growth and function of roots. This study was carried out to evaluate the response of oil palm roots to changes in soil physical properties due to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,771 accessesView PDF Cite
