The model was used to predict phenology, growth, development and yield of groundnut. The simulated flowering, pegging, pod formation and pod maturity dates, leaf area index (LAI), biomass, shelling % and pod yield of groundnut were compared with the observed values for three cultivars viz., GAUG 10, GAUG 2 and Ro-33-1. The simulated phenological events showed a deviation of –1 to +5 days for flowering, +2 to +6 days for peg formation, -3 to +6 days for pod formation and –6 to +5 days for pod maturity of the crop. The model estimated leaf area index within 91.8 to 105.8% and shelling percentage within 81.5 to 109.8% of the actual values. The model simulated the pod yields within 88.5 to 112.7% of the observed values. The results obtained with the model for the four consecutive crops and seasons revealed satisfactory prediction of phenology, growth, development and yield of groundnut. The percent error between observed and simulated pod yield was 11% which indicated satisfactory prediction by the model. The degree of agreement (d) ranged between 0.03 and 1.77 except for LAI indicating satisfactory performance of the model. Results of simulation studies indicated that when there is a possibility of high rainfall higher pod yield can be achieved by adopting closer spacing and early sowing (one week earlier than normal date of sowing) compared to normal spacing and date of sowing.

The word superiority effect refers to the phenomenon that people have better recognition of letters presented within words as compared to recognition of isolated letters. Although many previous research on how the spatial relations between letters in words affect the perceptual processing through the inversion paradigm, a significant amount of effort goes into setting the default inter-letter spacing when designing new fonts. Our current research examines the effect of manipulating letter spacing on the processing efficiency, as a measure of the word superiority effect. First, we tested multiple different words instead of fixed word stimuli to show that measures of efficiency can be generalized; second, we disrupted default inter-letter spacing by increasing, decreasing, and randomizing letter spacing to explore the extent to which the efficiency was sustained with the assessment functions. Our results indicate that participants are limited capacity only in the extreme spacing scenario. Additionally, the principle component (PC) analysis shows that highest PC values occur at normal spacing with degradation with increased disruption—spreading or narrowing. These results appear to confirm the configural nature of perceptual processing with normally-spaced words between identifiable tracking and kerning boundaries, and agree well with the ideas about optimal spacing by type designers and typographers implicit in general notion of "rhythmic spacing''. This work is also notable in that we demonstrate the use of assessment functions as a standardized tool for assessing the capacity benefits and efficiency of configural processing.

The correct straw management in no-tillage system is necessary and has demonstrated to be an excellent alternative to improve sowing quality. Cover crop management periods may compromise the performance of planters and the productivity of the successor crop. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of black oat management methods, carried out in different periods before maize planting, on the quality of sowing and development of the crop. Two experiments were conducted in the municipality of Coimbra, MG: the first in 2013 and the second in 2016. Randomized block design was used in both experiments, in split-plot arrangement (4x3), with four replications. The plots consisted of four black oat management periods (21, 14, 7 and 0 days before sowing) and the subplots consisted of three black oat management methods (desiccated, rolled and cleared). The plants were managed in the flowering stage. The characteristics evaluated were: average, faulty, double and normal spacing between plants; sowing depth; emergence speed index; plant stand; and uniformity of plant development in V5 stage. In both experiments, the desiccated black oat presented lower emergence speed index, plant stand and uniformity of plant development. The mechanical managements of black oat, regardless of the period before maize planting, improve the quality of maize sowing, with significant reduction of faulty and double spacing, and promote proper plant development.

The use of seeders with pneumatic distribution systems is increasingly demanding for plantation of corn crop. Knowledge about the operation and adjustments of the components of agricultural machines is fundamental to increase the good distribution of plants and to ensure higher productivity. The main goal of this research was to evaluate the influence of the size of the corn seed sieve under different vacuum pressure regulations on a pneumatic distribution system, to understand the longitudinal uniformity of the plants, as well as the final and individual productivity per plant. The vSet® (Precision Planting®) pneumatic distribution system equipped with 4 corn seed sieves (C1, C4, R1, and R4) subjected to 4 different vacuum pressure adjustments (7, 12, 17 and 22 in H2O-1) was applied as treatments on corn hybrid 30F53VYH. The design used was that of randomized blocks, with subdivided plots and 4 replications. The main plot presented the vacuum pressures and the subplots presented the sieves, each composed of two sowing lines of 20 m in length. The results showed that low vacuum pressure resulted in increased unevenness between corn spacings and consequently lower yield. Smaller sieves showed less gaps and higher percentages of normal spacing. The larger sieves showed higher standard deviation and more gaps. Regular and uneven gaps provided a higher number of grains per row, higher number of grains per corn spike and a higher grain yield per corn spike.

Over the environment, on the basis of days to flowering and suitability for dual purpose analysis was carried out of 100 genotypes including 75 F1s with 20 parents and 5 checks. Data were collected for grain yield, dry fodder yield, protein content in grain, protein content in fodder, TSS and juiciness. Variations between lines, testers and line × tester was significant for all characters. As both grain and dry fodder yield are important dual-purpose attributes, lines ICSA 202, ICSA 349 and ICSA 357 and ICSA 481 were found to be good general combiners for both grain and dry fodder yield. Two crosses viz., ICSA 29002 × SU 1565 and ICSA 356 × SU 1570 exhibited significant SCA effects in all the four environments whereas hybrids ICSA 552 × SU 1561, ICSA 202 × SU 1570,, ICSA 349 × SU 1561, ICSA 208 × SU 1561, ICSA 474 × SU 1561 and ICSA 357 × SU 1565 showed good SCA effects in normal spacing (E1 and E3) and ICSA 481 × SU 1561 and ICSA 399 × SU 1557 in wider spacing (E2 and E4) for both grain and dry fodder yield. These lines and crosses also expressed positive significant GCA and SCA effects for majority of the remaining fodder quality traits.

[email protected].   Abstract: In the seeding process, factors many interfere in the plants stand, among them, the longitudinal distribution of seeds as a function of displacement speed. So, objective of this study is to assess the spatial variability of the longitudinal distribution of corn seeds as a function of the displacement speed of the tractor seed-fertilizer. The experiment had conducted at the Federal University of Ceara, Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil in an area 0.19 ha. The speeds were 4.59; 6.86 and 8.16 km h-1. The regularity of plants longitudinal distribution was determined 21 days after seeding, and within each point the distance between the corn plants in the central line of ten meters in length was measured, percentage of spacing between plants considered as acceptable, multiples and failures. The results showed that the displacement speed negatively influenced the longitudinal distribution of seeds for the normal spacing and positively of failures spacing. The spatial dependence analysis proved to be a useful tool to represent the behavior of the longitudinal distribution of seeds evaluated in sowing operation as a function of the displacement speed.   Keywords: geostatistic, mechanization. production.   Variabilidade espacial da distribuição longitudinal de sementes de milho em função da velocidade de deslocamento   Resumo: No processo de semeadura, para se obter produtividades elevadas, inúmeros fatores interferem no estande de plantas, dentre estes, a distribuição longitudinal das sementes em função da velocidade de deslocamento.

Expeller performance has been evaluated in terms of the capability to create suction pressure at the throat. This formulation has been used to assess the effectiveness of evacuating combustible gases from an isolated, depressurized, pipeline section involving mainline block valves up to two times normal spacing with an intermediate vent stack. Additionally, the effects of elevation changes that promote buoyancy driven flows are accounted for in time as the interface between air and gas travels along the pipeline section during expelling. Two expelling strategies were introduced and assessed. These are simultaneous expelling, in which gas is expelled from the pipeline section from both ends, and sequential expelling, in which an intermediate vent stack is used to expel gas from the upstream and downstream segments. The effects of elevation changes and the location of the intermediate vent stack determine the best strategy for expelling so as to maximize the purge velocity in the section of a pipeline to be purged, while maintaining the mean flow velocity in the pipe above the minimum purge velocity to prevent air-gas stratification. It was found that for a ‘Flat-’ or a ‘Cusp-type’ elevation profile it is advantageous to follow a sequential expelling procedure using one expeller at the intermediate vent stack location. In the case of a ‘Vee-type’ elevation profile, a simultaneous expelling procedure is a better option in terms of expelling time, at the cost of needing to deploy two expellers to different sites quite far apart. Air ingress location depends on the expelling strategy and elevation profile.

ABSTRACT The sowing process is one of the most important steps in agricultural production chain, requiring a good efficiency in order to avoid seed and plant population losses. In order to achieve a satisfactory performance of the seeder, the agricultural implement needs to be properly adjusted. Therefore, the present study aimed to verify both the operational performance and sowing quality of the agricultural equipment, depending on different working depths and different operating velocities. The experimental design was a factorial, with two theoretical velocities and three working depths. The velocity of 6.8 km h-1 achieved both a good operating consumption and a low fuel consumption per working area and when associated with working depth of 0.05 m provided better operational performance. However, the operating velocity of 4.8 km h-1 made it possible to increase the number of normal spacing of seeds, an improved quality of sowing and the possibility of greater population.
