Evaluation of the feller-buncher Moipu 400 E
ISBN: 9783639234534 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Moipu 400 E energy wood harwarder grip is a conventional forwarder equipped with a Finnish feller-buncher head. The felling-head uses a single-action shear, and has neither delimbing knives nor feed rollers. It is mounted on a forwarder's crane and performs both felling and loading. The forwarder forwards the energy wood to the landing. Therefore just one machine - the so-called harwarder - is able to perform the whole thinning operations. The author's aim was to evaluate the productivity and costs of a forwarder equipped with the energy wood harwarder grip Moipu 400 E, cutting coniferous...

Cooking Cassava
ISBN: 9783639240344 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The cooking is an important feature in selecting a cultivar of cassava for cooking, both the consumer and the industry of processed products. However, there are times when cassava roots have problems cooking, as the texture of the dough, or cultivars with better or worse cooking characteristics, regardless of how long the process lasts. Some hypotheses are proposed to explain this issue, which may be associated with the chemical composition of the cell wall. It is also necessary to assess the best method to determine the correct cooking time compared to the characteristics of...

Detection of VLPs by ISEM in transgenic grapevine
ISBN: 9783639236910 / Angielski / Miękka / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV) is one of the most destructive and wide-spread viral diseases affecting grapevine (Bovey et al. 1980). Since virus disease control with conventional methods is very difficult, major efforts are made towards resistance breeding. Coat-protein-mediated resistance (CPmR) has demonstrated to confer a high level of resistance in herbaceous model plants (Beachy et al. 1990; Pacot-Hiriat et al. 1999) and is a promising strategy to obtain virus-resistance in perennial plants like grapevine using a pathogen derived gene. In order to produce resistant grapevines not only...

Widespread adoption of technology is possible only if the poor farmer is assured of higher productivity, more farm income and employment opportunities. Therefore this study is an attempt to evaluate the resource productivity and profitability...
