Pioneer HTF hybrids for the ethanol production were used as controls to assess the productivity of ethanol of hybrids from the Agricultural Institute Osijek and Bc Institute d.d. The study of ethanol production was carried out by using the Lemuz method. According to ANOVA statistical analysis, statistically significant differences in grain and ethanol yields were not found between HTF hybrids and hybrids of domestic breeding companies. Statistically significant difference was found in ethanol yield by sites ( P <0.05) with highest average ethanol yield determined at Beli Manastir and the lowest in Osijek. Site × year × plant density interaction showed statistically significant difference in ethanol yield between hybrids and the most productive was the OS378 hybrid.

Irrigation practices and damage of olive fruit curculio ( Rhodocyrtus cribripennis (Desbrochers, 1869)), a pest of olive fruit, may be an important factor in determining the stage of fruit maturity, one of the main indicator of of fruit quality. The aim of this paper is to determine how different practices, through the amount and frequency of irrigation, with presence of olive fruit curculio, affect the maturity index of olive, variety ‘Coratina’. The research was conducted on 24 olive trees at two locations in Zadar County: Žman (Dugi otok) and Novigrad. Irrigation was performed with a drip system with four variants in three replicates: K (0%) rainfed olives; T1 (PP) irrigation set according to grower experience; T2 (SAN) irrigation set according to evapotranspiration and olive phenology, at up to 80% of field capacity and T3 (100%) where 100% of calculated evapotranspiration was added. Soil analysis determined the field capacity, and evapotranspiration was read from the Pinova™ meteorological station. Harvests was conducted in October 2020 and 2021. For determination of olive fruit curculio infestation and maturity index, 100 fruits per sample were harvested. By processing the data with one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and return test (Tukey), the significant effect of irrigation practices on the olive fruit maturity index by treatments, years and locations, single and interdependent, was determined. No effect was found between the presence of olive fruit curculio and the maturity index.","PeriodicalId":51685,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Central European Agriculture","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70971436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At a working speed of 6 km/h, the vacuum plate n = 18 with a peripheral speed of 0.223 m/s achieved an average seeding spacing of 21.518 cm, with a reduction of 1 650/ha plants. At this peripheral speed, the plate achieved a QFI of 97.19 with Prec. index (CV m ) of 13.108. The vacuum plate n = 44 at the lowest acceptable speed of the seeding machine with a peripheral speed of 0.091 m/s achieved an average spacing of 20.816 cm with a QFI index of 98.63 while Prec. index (CV m ) was 8.397. By increasing the working speed of 10 km/h, the listed vacuum plate achieved an average spacing of 20.935 cm, and an increase in seeding was recorded for 187 plants/ha where the achieved value of QFI index was 97.31 while the value of Prec. index (CV m ) was 14.041. The choice of vacuum plate, as well as the speed of work had a statistically significant effect on the set of plants and the seeding spacing.

ABSTRACT The results of simulation of popcorn seeding in the laboratory at a theoretical spacing of 20.993 cm with vacuum plates with 18, 22, 27, 31, 33, 36, and 44 holes ø 4.5 mm at working speeds of 4, 6, 8, and 10 km/h are presented. The research was performed on a test bench for a pneumatic seeding machine under controlled conditions of the working speed of the seeding machine under vacuum with a filled vacuum plate of 4.66 kPa. After research with different distances of seed brushoff teeth from the center of the hole, it was found that at position 12 on the scale (the top of the last seed brushoff tooth was 0.50 mm from the center of the hole) the best average seeding spacing of 24.671 was achieved that is -0.021 cm deviation from the theoretical distance used in the survey of the position of the seed brushoff. The research was performed only with a vacuum plate n = 22 at a working speed of 6 km/h and a high QFI coefficient of 98.13 and MULT 1.13 and a MISS index of 0.75% were achieved, with Prec. index (CV m ) of 9.930. Investigation of the negative pressure of 4.66 kPa at the vacuum plates holes established that the air velocity at a distance of 5 mm from the edges of the vacuum plate opening was 3.026 m/s, and at a distance of 10 mm a value of 1.514 m/s, was recorded. Based on this, the correctness of the selection of the maximum number of vacuum plates hole openings of n = 44 with an opening spacing of 15.52 mm was confirmed. It is theoretically possible, given the air velocity of 1.602 m/s in the central space between the two holes, that individual seeds can adhere to this space between two adjacent holes.
