The advantage of Decision Support System for managing spring barley disease in Estonia
(2017)A Decision Support System (DSS) I - Taimekaitse focusing on use of timely applied and reduced fungicide rates in control of cereal diseases has been tested in field trials since 2003 . We compared the ... -
AFLP-analysis of genetic diversity in soybean [Glycine max (l.) Merr.] cultivars Russian and foreign selection
(2017)Genetic diversity of 11 cultivars of soybean (Glycine max) from a VIR (N.I. Vavilov Institute of Plant Genetic Resources) collection was analyzed by the AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) technique. From 18 ... -
Anaerobic co-digestion of oil refinery wastewater and chicken manure to produce biogas, and kinetic parameters determination in batch reactors
(2017)In order to improve the anaerobic fermentation of oil refinery wastewater (ORWW) via an appropriate nutrients pool for microbial and buffer capacity growth, a study was carried out on related anaerobic co-digestion (AcoD) ... -
Analysis of Arabidopsis defensin-like genes and ovule development during fertilization and Fusarium infection
(2017)Defensins are small, highly stable antimicrobial peptides. Many defensin-like (DEFL) peptides found in flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana are believed to have role in either natural immunity or cell-to-cell communication ... -
Assessment of different growing conditions for enhanced postharvest quality and shelf-life of leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativaL.)
(2017)Lettuce is the most important leafy vegetable. It is exclusively used as freshly raw form but sometime also as cooked. However, its quality depends on several pre- and postharvest factors. The effects of growing conditions ... -
The assessment of hazelnut mechanical harvesting productivity
(2017)Hazelnut cultivation represents a new opportunity for Calabrian mountainous and sloping areas (Southern Italy), where no alternative fruit crops, except forestry, could be settled. In this Region, hazelnut production ... -

Comparison of mechanical and electric drive of mulcher
(2017)The contribution is focused on comparison of mechanical and electric drive of mulcher with vertical axis of rotation by means of mathematical model. The mulcher has working width of 6 m and it is usually aggregated with ... -
Comparison of selected remote sensing sensors for crop yield variability estimation
(2017)Currently, spectral indices are very common tool how to describe various characteristics of vegetation. In fact, these are mathematical operations which are calculated using specific bands of electromagnetic spectrum. ... -
Comparison of tillage systems in terms of water infiltration into the soil during the autumn season
(2017)The soil belongs to the most valuable parts of the planet Earth. It is, endangered by water erosion, which causes huge destruction every year, or damage to farmland. More than half of the agricultural land in the Czech ... -
Comparison of tractor slip at three different driving wheels on grass
(2017)The paper deals with a possibility of tractor slip reduction on a grass and evaluates an use of two versions of special wheels. Both prototypes were developed at the Department of Transport and Handling of the Slovak ... -
The content of weed seeds in the soil based on the management system
(2017)In 2008 an experiment was set up on the field in Eerika experimental station (Estonian University of Life Sciences) as a 5-field crop rotation: barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) with undersown red clover, red clover (Trifolium ... -
Contribution of pumped hydro energy storage for more RES utilization on autonomous power systems
