Electromechanical Device

An electromechanical device mounted in a moving vehicle capable of indicating differences in elevation between successive points along a traverse is described. Principle of operation, constructional details and operating techniques are treated at length. Examples of elevation survey data obtained with the instrument under actual field conditions are presented.

Germinated Seeds

An intermediate stationary stage in the germination of Queensland blue grass (Dicanthium sericeum L.) caused by limiting water availability was examined. It was found that partially germinated seed can maintain viability over extended periods of desiccation and that large numbers of these partially germinated seeds are found under simulated and actual field conditions. Results indicate that this phenomenon is an adaptive mechanism which assists establishment on black cracking earths in which rapid drying of surface layers is characteristic.

Response To Water

The effect of water table depth on yield of sugarcane varieties PR 980, PR 1028, PR 1059, PR 1141, PR 64-610, PR 61-632 and PR 64-2705 was studied in lysimeter tanks in the field. Using plastic drains at varying distances and depths, variety PR 980 was studied on a 5-ha farm. Results obtained show that varieties differ in their response to water table conditions. Varieties PR 980, PR 1059, PR 64-610, PR 61-632 and PR 64-2705 yielded significantly more cane and sugar when the water table was lowered. Varieties PR 1028 and PR 1141 did not show statistically significant differences among treatment differentials. Under actual field conditions, using perforated plastic drains, variety PR 980 yielded significantly more sugar than in undrained plots. The results obtained in the lysimeter tanks are in accord with those observed under commercial production.

Horizontal Bottom

A mathematical model is developed to calculate the amount of bottom sediment moved by wave action. The simplified case of a horizontal bottom and spherical material of uniform size is presented here; however, with some further groundwork it is thought that the model may be extended to actual field conditions without too much difficulty.

Different types of freshening tools developed were evaluated in actual field conditions for resin tapping from Pinus caribaea trees. The developed tools were user friendly. The tools were evaluated for freshening holes made for tapping resin using bore hole technique from P. caribaea. Use of all the developed freshening tools led to increase in resin yield over control. Out of different freshening tools developed and tested, hand operated augur type tool showed appreciable increase in resin yield up to the third freshening and is recommended for use in the resin tapping operation of bore hole technique to enhance resin yield.
