Some Engineering Properties Required to Precision Seeding of Different Rice Genotypes (original) (raw)
2018, Egyptian Journal of Agricultural Research
nowledge on physical properties of rice grains is an important tool for designing agricultural machines and other equipment to handle planting, harvesting, processing, packaging and storing. The most common rice genotypes grown in Egypt is 19 rice genotypes (12 rice cultivars and 7 promising lines) but the data on its physical properties is still lacking. The aim of this study is to investigate some engineering properties of 19 rice genotypes which grown in Egypt and setup database for rice genotypes as well as its use to design Precision agriculture machines at different seed moisture contents for various manner of direct seeded rice approaches. Laboratory experiments were carried out during 1stMay of 2016 and 2017 seasons at the Farm of Rice Research Department, Field Crops Research Institute, Kafr ElSheikh Governorate collaborated with Tractor Farm Machinery Test and Research Station Alex). The rice grains properties of (dry, soaked and incubated for 24 and 48 hours) were tested....
