The model of uncertain knowledge representation was established for inference by using the certainty factor. The daily feeding amount of each sow was calculated by the expert system. An improved pattern matching algorithm Reused Degree Model-RETE (RDM-RETE) was proposed for the decision of daily feeding amount, which sped up inference by optimizing the RETE network topology. A prediction model of daily feeding amount was established by a rule-based expert system and the precision feeding was achieved by an accurate control technology of variable volume. The experimental results demonstrated that the HASH-RDM-RETE algorithm could effectively reduce the network complexity and improve the inference efficiency. The feeding amount decided by the expert system was a logarithmic model, which was consistent with the feeding law of lactating sows. The inferential feeding amount was adopted as the predicted feed intake and the coefficient of correlation between predicted feed intake and actual feed intake was greater than or equal to 0.99. Each sow was fed at different feeding intervals and different feed amounts for each meal in a day. The feed intake was 26.84% higher than that of artificial feeding during lactation days ( p <0.05). The piglets weaned per sow per year (PSY) can be increased by 1.51 compared with that of relatively high levels in domestic pig farms. This system is stable in feeding and lowers the breeding cost that can be applied in precision feeding in swine production.","PeriodicalId":13895,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agricultural and Biological Engineering","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76365158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, the effects of the combined application of water and potassium on strawberry growth were evaluated by experimenting with 12 treatments, including four transpiration (ET C )-based irrigation levels (W1: 100% ET C , W2: 85% ET C , W3: 70% ET C , and W4: 55% ET C ) and three potassium levels according to the target yield (K1: 369.5 kg/hm 2 , K2: 307.9 kg/hm 2 , and K3: 246.3 kg/hm 2 ). Various indexes of strawberry yield, fruit quality, water and fertilizer utilization efficiency, and soil nutrient residues were measured. Irrigation and potassium application had significant effects on strawberry production. Higher irrigation levels increased yield ( Y ), and moderate water and potassium application increased single fruit weight (SFW), water utilization efficiency (WUE), total soluble sugar (TSSC), and the sugar-acid ratio (SAR). While low-application of potassium increased the soluble protein content (SP), partial factor productivity of potassium (PFP K ), and reduce nutrient residues in soil effectively. A comprehensive system for evaluating strawberry growth and its benefits to the soil environment was developed. The FAHP and CRITIC methods were used to calculate the subjective weight and objective weight of each index, respectively. The largest subjective weight was observed for Y (0.200), and the largest objective weight was observed for soil-available potassium (0.101). The final weight was determined using Game theory; Y had the highest weight (0.185), and free amino acids (FAA) had the lowest weight (0.047). Grey relational analysis (GRA) was used to evaluate the optimal irrigation and potassium scheme for accomplishing multiple objectives. The response of the comprehensive score of strawberries to irrigation and potassium exhibited a negative parabolic relationship, and the effect of irrigation was greater than the effect of potassium application. There was a significant interaction between irrigation and potassium application, and an irrigation amount of 2053-2525 m 3 /hm 2 with a potassium application rate of 288.1-334.2 kg/hm 2 was optimal for promoting strawberry yield, fruit quality, and efficiency and reducing soil nutrient residues. The results of this study provide new insights that could aid the development of sustainable approaches for enhancing agricultural production.","PeriodicalId":13895,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agricultural and Biological Engineering","volume":"223 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72419733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Key components of the transporter were developed such as a PLC-based (programmable logic controller) control system, a sliding contact power supply, and transmission system, and a position limit device. The functions and performance of designed transporter were tested. The test results showed that the transporter exhibited a high stability of operation with an average operation velocity of 0.70 m/s, the maximum working slope of 48°, the maximum load of 400 kg, and the maximum remote control distance reaching 1482 m. When the power supply circuit of sliding contact line was 108.8 m in length, the maximum voltage drop was 2.4 V, and the maximum power loss was 174.72 W, which were close to the theoretical calculation values. With a single power supply cabinet, the transporter can operate normally for a maximum track distance of 175.69 m. All the technical indicators of the transporter met the design requirements, and the above-mentioned problems such as complexity of the control system and limited energy supply of the traditional mountain orchard transporter were well solved. This study can provide reference for the design and optimization of mountain orchard transporter.

However, the herbicide concentration is not consistent in the advancing process along the drip irrigation tape of different lengths, which not only influences the crop growth and results in herbicide residue. In this study, the crop and environmental effects of chemigation were discussed, potassium permanganate was used to replace herbicides, and a laboratory test was conducted to determine the best application duration. Based on this result, the maize field experiment of chemigation under plastic mulch was carried out to compare the effects of maize growth index, yield and herbicide residue for determining the optimal chemigation mode. The result shows that there is no significant difference in the application uniformity among treatments, but the leaf area index (LAI), yield, and double-ear rate of maize under continuous application (CA) were higher than those under periodic application (PA) and no application (NA) significantly. One month after the application, the acetochlor residue of the two modes was less than 1%, which would not cause pollution to the surrounding environment. And there was a significant linear regression relationship between the length of drip irrigation tape and the optimal application duration under the same acetochlor dosage.

In order to solve the problem, the parametric model of header frame was established, and the accuracy of the finite element model was verified by comparison the results of the free modal analysis and free vibration modal test based on Eigensystem Realization Algorithm (ERA). Then the constrained modal frequencies were calculated and compared with the external excitation source frequencies, the results showed that the first and eighth order modal natural frequencies were coupled with the excitation frequencies of the threshing cylinder and the engine respectively, which was apt to resonate. To avoid resonance and achieve lightweight design, topology optimization and the finite element analysis was carried out. The optimization results showed that the strength and rigidity meet the requirements and the weight was 14.17% lower than before. The first and eighth order modal natural frequencies were far away from the excitation frequencies range of threshing cylinder and engine, and the frequencies were far away from the range of each excitation frequency, which effectively avoided the occurrence of resonance. Field experiments showed that the peak value of the vibration acceleration in the three directions of the 8 measuring points of the optimized header frame was significantly reduced, which effectively reduced the vibration of the header frame during harvest. This study provides a method for obtaining the vibration characteristics of key components of agricultural machinery, and provides a reference for the weight and vibration reduction of header frame of rice, wheat, rape and other crop combine harvesters.
