The rooting capabilities of four semidwarf and two normal-statured genotypes were estimated by 32P uptake and extraction of roots from a column of soil. The two height groups did not differ in root volume when the plants were grown in a rooting medium composed of three parts sand and one part topsoil. Rooting was estimated under field conditions by placing 32P in the soil at 15, 30, 60, and 90 cm and measuring 32P activity in the aerial plant portions 15, 30, 45 and 61 days from seeding. Semidwarf and normal-statured types had the same relative distribution of 32P uptake on all days. Water uptake by semidwarf and normal height genotypes was similar over the season in both environments receiving incident rainfall. There was a significant effect of environment on the osmotic potential of the last fully developed leaf. Plants growing in environments with low soil water developed lower osmotic potentials. However, there were no differences in genotypic reponse indicating similar osmotic adjustment. It was concluded that semidwarf and normal genotypes do not differ in rooting water uptake or osmotic adjustment due to plant stature.

Solar dryers are equipment and using solar energy for drying substances, especially food. There are two common types of solar dryers: Direct & indirect. This is a dryer type in which the product to be dried directly absorbs the solar radiation. It is also referred to as a natural convection cabinet dryer, because the solar radiation falls directly on the surface; the product quality is reduced. Heated air from the drying chamber is blown through. A solar dryer's basic function is to heat air with solar energy to a constant temperature, which enables the moisture extraction from crops within a drying chamber. The main objective of flat plate solar air dryer model based on without tray & with tray chamber in Creo parametric software & computational fluid dynamics in Ansys software. Generally, solar air dryer is heat loss is possible, so it’s reduced with help of insulation material (glass wool & polyurethane). To predict the temperature difference in various air flow with insulation material. Furthermore, choose the better insulation material & difference between with & without tray chamber.

Two simple techniques for separating soil moisture loss into drainage and evapotranspiration for cropped conditions were compared. The study was conducted during May through September 1983 at Ellerslie, Alberta. One technique, the field capacity method, utilized soil tension at − 4 kPa to demarcate the cessation of drainage; the other technique, the gradient method, utilized changes in soil moisture status relative to fallow conditions, to mark the onset of moisture extraction by roots. Both methods estimated similar amounts of drainage and evapotranspiration for the barley plots. Application and thus proper evaluation of these two methods were limited as more than 83% of the total drainage occurred during a 3-wk period in which only the Penman method for estimating evapotranspiration could be used. Key words: Water balance, drainage, evapotranspiration, field capacity method, gradient method

Disruption of the junction of the A-B horizons of a yellow duplex soil did not affect moisture extraction or grain yield of wheat grown in the Southern Wimmera, and it is unlikely that this zone represents a serious impediment to root growth. However, improving soil fertility, either by growing lupins or by placing nitrogen and phosphorus in the A2 horizon, did increase yields. Following lupins in 1983, wheat yield increased from 4.3 to 55 t/ha in 1984,andfrom 3.1 to3.7 t/ha in 1985. This response was greater than that due to deep placement of nitrogen and phosphorus (0.3 t/ha in 1984,0.4 t/ha in 1985), probably because of improved root growth as a result of less root disease. There were consistent responses to foliar applications of copper and interactions with other treatments; the greatest responses occurred in situations of improved nitrogen nutrition.

Modelling System

This study presents the development and evaluation of a novel partially open-loop heat pump dryer with a unit-room (HPDU). The unit-room was designed to enable the ambient air to be mixed with the return air, thereby reducing the influence of the ambient air on the system performance, while maintaining a high system thermal efficiency. A modelling system for the HPDU was developed and validated based on a real-scale experimental study. By using the modelling system, the system characteristics under different ambient conditions and bypass factors were analyzed. The energy benefit of the proposed HPDU was quantified through a comparative study with a closed-loop heat pump dryer (CHPD). It is evident that a maximal specific moisture extraction rate (SMER) and a minimal total energy consumption (TEC) existed when changing the bypass factor of the HPDU under certain ambient temperatures. Compared to the CHPD, the coefficient of performance (COP) of the HPDU increased by up to 39.56%, presenting a significant energy benefit for the application of HPDU.
