1. Experimental Study Using Wind Tunnel for Measuring Variability of Spray Drift SedimentationSpray drift is defined as physical movement of pesticides by air action as a particle droplet and is not deposited on the intended target. Evaluation of the parameters affecting on spray drift is difficult. The accurate studies are expensive, as well as, the variability is high under field conditions due to instability in wind speed and turbulence. Wind tunnel experiments are adequate to simulate the results of field measurements for spray drift. A laboratory experiments were carried out to study... M.H. Alheidary, J. Douzals, C. Sinfort |
2. Detecting Basal Stem Rot (BSR) Disease at Oil Palm Tree Using Thermal Imaging TechniqueBasal stem rot (BSR), caused by Ganoderma boninense is known as the most damaging disease in oil palm plantations in Southeast Asia. Ganoderma could reduce the productivity of oil palm plantations and potentially reduce the market value of palm oil in Malaysia. Early disease management of Ganoderma could prevent production losses and reduce the cost of plantation management. This study focuses on identifying the thermal properties of healthy and BSR-infected tree using a thermal imaging... S. Bejo, G. Abdol lajis, S. Abd aziz, I. Abu seman, T. Ahamed |
3. Organic Nitrogen Uptake: A Novel Pathway to Improve Nitrogen Use Efficiency and Crop ProductivityFormulation of amino acid N fertilizer and uptake of organic N by plants has the ability not only to ensure N availability to plants particularly in N-limiting environments but also can manipulate the environmental hazards associated with over inorganic N fertilization. To support this view, clear experimental evidence is still lacking. In addition, the current experiments aimed to evaluate the uptake of organic N (Amino acid based N fertilizer) by plants in comparison with inorganic fertilizer... K. Ali, D.L. Jones, M. Arif |
