The aim of the study was to determine the average total coverage of winter rapeseed surface sprayed with copper foliar fertilizer and nano-copper and to determine the total plant surface in the three development stages studied (12, 14 and 16 BBCH). Coverage studies were carried out in the "Aporo1" chamber at a speed of 0.86 m·s-1, pressure of 0.20 and 0.28 MPa, using two conventional nozzles...
The paper presents results of simulation tests for the heat balance of double, triple and quadruple glazed windows with eastern, southern, western and northern exposure, conducted for the climate conditions of the city of Poznań and the Wielkopolska region in response to the needs of eco power engineering. It was shown that in the summer period a greater number of window panes and a change in exposure...
The aim of the research was to create a model for prediction of tuber dry matter on the basis of underwater weight of tubers (UWW), with the use of neural modelling methods. In order to achieve the aim of the study, data from the years 2011-2017 were collected from the production fields of an individual farm located at the border of Pomeranian and West Pomeranian Voivodeships in Słupski and Sławieński...
The aim of the research was to indicate the possibility of using digestate which was obtained in the process of biogas production and the analysis of the effects of the aggregation process using rolling. The characteristics of fertilizers were determined based on the analysis of the basic properties of post-fermentation pulp such as: dry matter, organic matter, pH, C: N ratio, content of macroelements...
Wheat, corn and rapeseed straw can be used as a raw material for the production of biofuels used to generate heat energy. Due to the growing interest in renewable fuels, including straw, it is reasonable to test the energy suitability of these fuels. The aim of the study was to compare the combustion heat and calorific value of particular straw species. The most important parameters enabling comparison...
The possibilities of adapting the manure spreader to the soil application of dehydrated digestate are presented. Based on the analysis, a virtual model of the device consisting of a modernized manure spreader and aggregated disc harrow was developed. Based on the virtual model, computational models were developed and strength analyses were carried out. The conclusion is that modernized manure spreader,...
Bonding technology is one of the oldest technologies of joining car body elements. Bonding steel in real industrial conditions may cause various incompatibilities in the joints area. The main ones consist in the lack of adhesion and no adhesive in the area of the joints. Currently there are destructive methods of controlling adhesive joints that require destruction of the joint. Destruction of joint...
Adhesive coatings in the form of layers are widely used in the protection of machines and equipment against corrosion. The article presents the research of four prepared areas which were subject to the influence of brine in the salt spray chamber. Powder paint was applied to one of the areas, another was covered with alkyd paint, another- with paint from spray can, and one of the areas was not protected...
In field research, the influence of factors determining soil compaction in an arable layer caused by agricultural tyres during the first pass was determined. The factors were the following: a normal load of tyres resulting from a static load of a tractor axle, dimensions of tyres: diameter, and width as well as pressure determined by a simplified method. The research was conducted on soil cultivated...
This paper presents an original information system supporting the management of an agricultural holding codenamed AGMS (Agro-Management System). This system was created in C# language, using ASP. NET MVC programming technology. The application database layer was supported by SQL Server and Entity Framework technology. The creation of the program's views enabled such languages as HTML 5, CSS3 along...
Mycotoxin contamination of food and feed is a big problem, also with regard to cereal products from organic farming. For that reason screening of mycotoxins occurrence in cereal grains from organic farming after prolonged storage was performed. The work presents monitoring of the contamination of organic spring wheat, spelt, oat, rye and spring barley harvested in 2017, by the most important mycotoxins:...
The work determines the economic and material inputs occurred during ensiling of beet root pulp in the form of cylindrical bales with different "binding" methods, by net or foil and various number of utilized film layers during wrapping and described as: TSW, TSA and TP. A computational algorithm was developed that allowed to determine the criterion for which the following was assumed: fuel...
This work presents the results of research on the physical and chemical properties of apple pomace. Laboratory tests included the analysis of water content, sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium cations as well as phosphorus, nitrogen and carbon. Apple pomace was obtained from two plants (A and B) producing apple juices. Both plants are located in north-eastern Poland, Podlasie province. Plant...
During exploitation motor vehicles require a number of maintenance, repair and diagnostic activities. Among all road vehicles, buses deserve special attention. These vehicles are designed to transport more than 9 people with the driver. Contemporary buses are characterized by a significant number of inseparable - adhesive joints. At the production stage the assessment of the quality of adhesive joints...
Non-road vehicles type approval tests consist of testing the combustion engines themselves on engine dynamometer stations. As a part of these tests, NRSC and NRTC tests are conducted. The many years of research conducted by the Poznan University of Technology revealed differences in the actual specific emission of toxic components of exhaust gases from agricultural machinery compared to the type approval...
The article describes the results of the development of technological equipment for mechanization of the main technological processes at pig farms in RUE «SPC NAS of Belarus for agriculture mechanization» preparation and distribution of feed and automation of the main technological processes. All sets of equipment passed acceptance tests and approved technical conditions. These kits are widely used...
The aim of the work was to produce three independent models for prediction and simulation of winter wheat yield, which were marked in the following way: ReWW15_04, ReWW31_05 and ReWW30_06. The produced models enable to make yield forecasts for April 15, May 31 and June 30, directly before harvest in the current agrotechnical season. For the construction of prediction models the Multiple Linear Regression...
This paper investigates the productivity of the switchgrass seeds (Panicum virgatum L.) in close interaction with the agroecological conditions of the vegetation period. An impact has been established of the storage period on the indicator of the laboratory germination power of the seeds, which has been obtained under different soil conditions. In the future a highquality seed material of the switchgrass...
The subject of this research – constituting its final study – are the determinants of selecting a research laboratory for the needs of conducting the operational safety tests and compatibility assessment in order to issue an EC conformity declaration, as well as to voluntarily certify for a “B” safety symbol. The studies were run from the point of view of small, medium, and large manufacturing companies...
The purpose of this study is to compare the condition and development prospects of the wind power sector in Poland and Ukraine. Our research is based on reports and studies prepared by industry organizations associating wind generating companies and wind farm equipment manufacturers. For Poland, the Energy Regulatory Office (Urząd Regulacji Energetyki - URE) and Central Statistical Office (Główny...
