Rancang Bangun dan Analisis Rangka Traktor Pemanen Jagung

A corn harvesting tractor is a tractor that operates using a diesel-powered engine which is used to harvest corn and is operated by humans. It is estimated that the presence of this tractor will lighten the burden on corn farmers who previously harvested using human power. Apart from making harvesting easier, corn harvesting tractors also increase production yields. This research aims to reveal the stress values that occur in the frame and the safety values from the results of the design of the tractor frame structure in the form of design and structural strength analysis. This research was limited to a loading of 200 kg. This research examines the design, simulation, and stress analysis of the frame structure of a 200 kg corn harvester tractor using the finite element method or can be said to be Finite Element analysis (FEA). ASTM A36 Steel material is used. Finite element analysis is carried out with a numerical system using software Solidworks 2020. The results of the simulation and analysis show that the tractor frame structure has a stress, deformation, and safety factor of 1.228e+07 N/m2, 2.934e-04 m, and 20.

Impact of agricultural activity on PM2.5 and its compositions in elementary schools near corn and rice farms

Agricultural activity is an important source of particulate matter <2.5 μm in size (PM2.5) in rural areas. In Taiwan, many elementary schools are surrounded by farms, and studies investigating the impact of agricultural activity on air quality in schools are required. We collected PM2.5 samples from the classrooms of elementary schools near corn and rice farms during the crop cultivation stages and analyzed their concentrations and compositions to investigate whether agricultural activity affects the schools' air quality. We found that the average ratio of PM2.5/PM10 (<10 μm in particle size) was <0.6 in the school near the corn farm, and that the indoor PM2.5/PM10 ratio was significantly associated (r = 0.93, p < 0.05) with the outdoor ratio. Moreover, the potassium (K) concentration in the school near the corn farm (189.2 ± 119 ng/m3) was higher than that near the rice farm (140.9 ± 116.0 ng/m3). There were higher concentrations of K and crustal elements, and a greater crustal elements/heavy metals ratio, in the school near the corn farm during the sowing and soil covering stages than during other cultivation stages. Positive matrix factorization (PMF) results indicate that agricultural activity was a predominant contributor of PM2.5 in the schools near corn and rice farms, however, PM2.5 from industrial and traffic emissions also affected schools' air quality. In summary, agricultural activity influenced the air quality of schools, especially near the corn farm. Governments should develop air quality management policies to reduce the risk of children suffering exposure to high particle concentrations in these schools and further suggest that the impact of industrial and traffic emissions on air quality also requires attention.

Solar Corn Sheller Machine Design Based on Ergonomics Principles

The existing sheller machine on the market still uses diesel fuel and electricity, even though diesel fuel has increased. Solar is a non-renewable energy. In addition, there is a new modification of the corn sheller machine with solar power to replace diesel fuel. The fuel replacement is focused on the utilization of sunlight. This corn sheller machine can replace the use of fossil raw materials and electricity with solar power and obtain faster, more ergonomic product results. The data required in this study are body dimension data or shoulder height anthropometry in an upright standing position to determine the height of the corn sheller that will be done standing when the farmer does the corn shelling process. With the existence of a solar-powered corn sheller machine, it is expected to be more productive than before. The transition to the use of environmentally friendly (pollution-free) corn sheller machines so as to reduce air pollution that previously used motor engines with fossil fuels, namely diesel, corn farmers can understand about work comfort, are able to operate environmentally friendly corn sheller machines and can carry out maintenance procedures for solar corn sheller machines.

The production aspect of red chilies and corn after using the intercropping method appears to increase when compared to monoculture because by saving land you can produce 2 different productions.

Place Attachment, Self-Efficacy, and Farmers’ Farmland Quality Protection Behavior: Evidence from China

Farmland pollution severely threatens humanity’s sustainable development. Exploring farmland quality protection behavior (FQPB) from the farmers’ perspective is considered one of the best ways to solve the farmland pollution problem. This study develops a theoretical framework for farmers’ FQPB from the perspectives of place attachment (consisting of place identity, dependency, and affection) and self-efficacy. We conducted a primary survey of 412 corn farmers from the northwestern Chinese province of Gansu and empirically examined the effects of place attachment and self-efficacy on farmers’ FQPB and verified the moderating effects that self-efficacy exerts on the influence of place attachment on FQPB by using hierarchical regression and propensity score matching models. The results indicate that: (1) among the three dimensions of place attachment, farmers with stronger place identity and place affection are more likely to implement FQPB; conversely, farmers who exhibit stronger place dependency are less likely to engage FQPB; and (2) self-efficacy not only effectively promotes farmers’ FQPB but also has an enhancing effect on the influence of place identity and place affection on FQPB. Our results suggest that policymakers should encourage farmers to maintain a place’s image and guide farmers to participate in place construction; thus, farmers’ place identity and place affection can be fostered. Meanwhile, the government should diversify the income sources of farmers to reduce their dependency on a single source. The finding that self-efficacy effectively promotes FQPB also implied that the formulation of farmland quality protection policies should shift from traditional command-based policies to participatory approaches, utilizing the initiative of farmers to enhance the policy’s effectiveness, which can not only promote farmers’ FQPB through self-efficacy but also strengthen the positive influence of place identity and place affection on FQPB.

Effects of using tractors and providing organic materials on soil compaction on performance of corn plants

The majority of the corn farming process is still carried out manually in Indonesia. Given how much labor is required for corn growing, this is inefficient. Utilizing agricultural equipment and tools, efforts are made to increase corn cultivation’s production and effectiveness. Agricultural equipment and instruments are used during all stages of corn crop production, including tillage, planting, weeding, fertilizing, controlling pests and diseases, and harvesting. The mechanical and physical characteristics of the soil may be adversely affected by this activity. Organic matter treatment can lessen the negative effects on the use of agricultural machinery and equipment. In addition, the result of this research activity is an increase in corn productivity due to the addition of organic matter to the field.

Improving Robustness Using MixUp and CutMix Augmentation for Corn Leaf Diseases Classification based on ConvMixer Architecture

Corn leaf diseases such as blight spot, gray leaf spot, and common rust still lurk in corn fields. This problem must be solved to help corn farmers. The ConvMixer model, consisting of a patch embedding layer, is a new model with a simple structure. When training a model with ConvMixer, improvisation is an important part that needs to be further explored to achieve better accuracy. By using advanced data augmentation techniques such as MixUp and CutMix, the robustness of ConvMixer model can be well achieved for corn leaf diseases classification. We describe experimental evidence in this article using precision, recall, accuracy score, and F1 score as performance metrics. As a result, it turned out that the training model with the data set without extension on the ConvMixer model achieved an accuracy of 0.9812, but this could still be improved. In fact, when we used the MixUp and CutMix augmentation, the training model results increased significantly to 0.9925 and 0.9932, respectively.
