Article Synopsis
- Conservation Agriculture (CA) aims to improve sustainable farming and soil health, but challenges in managing crop residues lead farmers to burn leftovers, hindering its implementation.
- This study tested three types of furrow openers—single disk, inverted T-type with a rolling coulter, and double disc—under controlled conditions to assess their performance on straw-cutting efficiency and draft requirements.
- Results showed that draft increased with higher forward speeds and straw densities, with the double disc furrow opener exhibiting the best straw-cutting efficiency at lower speeds and densities.
A study was conducted with the goal of developing an algorithm for use in sensors to monitor available soil N. For this purpose, three different soils were selected. The soils were studied for electrical conductivity (EC) at four different moisture levels and four levels of N.

The evaluation was based on the temperature stability and engine performance of ethanol-diesel fuel blends stabilized by selected surfactants. Among the three selected surfactants, 1-octanol was most effective in stabilizing ethanol-diesel fuel blends.
