Analysis of Energy Properties and Emissions Factors of Selected Plant Biomass and Peat
(Dept. of Mach. Exploit. and Management of Prod. Processes, ULS in Lublin, Poland, 2017-11)
The use of agricultural biomass for renewable energy purposes is part of the assumption of sustainable agriculture standards and leads to change current management of biomass from agricultural and forestry production and ...
Monitoring the State of Agrocenosis With the Use of Remote-Sensing Gyro System
(Dept. of Mach. Exploit. and Management of Prod. Processes, ULS in Lublin, Poland, 2017-11)
The aim of the project is the development of a decision support system (DSS) for precision farming. It is based on remote sensing to assess condition of agrocenoses and define requirements for cultivation operations ...
Emissions From the Combustion of Solid Biofuels
(Dept. of Mach. Exploit. and Management of Prod. Processes, ULS in Lublin, Poland, 2017-11)
Owing to the use of excess straw and unsold grain that has gone bad as a biofuel for heating boilers, farmers may save money to be spent on fuel and it allows them to gain additional profits from the sale of biomass that ...
Selected Physical Properties of Extruded Foamed Materials Based on Starch
(Dept. of Mach. Exploit. and Management of Prod. Processes, ULS in Lublin, Poland, 2017-11)
Starch-based foamed materials were processed with extrusion-cooking. Potato starch was used as a basic raw material. Plastronfoam PDE and poly(vinyl) alcohol were added in the amount of 1, 2, and 3% of starch mass. Directly ...
Use of Active Substance Depending of the Formulation of Plant Protection Products Applied With Agricultural Sprayers. A Case Study of Winter Wheat in Poland
(Dept. of Mach. Exploit. and Management of Prod. Processes, ULS in Lublin, Poland, 2017-11)
The study into the use of an active substance per hectare was performed to examine the matches of plant protection products applied by agricultural sprayers, containing the same active substance but with a different ...
