EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE SPRAY PATTERN AND MERGER PROCESS OF DUAL-LAYER, ROTATING CONICAL LIQUID SHEETS

To obtain a comprehensive understanding of the primary breakup mechanism of dual-layer, rotating conical liquid sheets, the spray field of a dual-orifice, pressure-swirl atomizer is observed using high-speed shadowgraphy. The influences of the pressure drop in the primary and pilot flow channels and of the merger of the dual-layer liquid sheet on spray morphology, spray cone angle, and liquid sheet surface fluctuations are investigated on the basis of an analysis of spray field images. Attention is focused on the mechanisms underlying the behavior of the disturbance waves generated during the merger of the dual-layer liquid sheet. The results of this study reveal that the pressure drops in the primary and pilot flow channels affect the spray pattern, spray cone angle, and liquid sheet surface fluctuations. It is found that the influence of the pressure drop in the primary channel is dominant, and the changes in the liquid sheet surface fluctuations are related to the spray pattern. During liquid sheet merger (after the inner sheet has reached the expected spray cone angle), the spray cone angle of the outer sheet decreases, and only after the sheets are in contact with each other does the amplitude of the surface fluctuations become significantly larger and generate more medium- and high-frequency disturbance waves.

Protective Potential of Ashwagandha, Against Pyrifluquinazon Induced Hepato-And Nephrotoxicity in Albino Mice

Globally, due to rise in dependence on the agricultural sector for food supply, the use of insecticides i.e., “Chemicals used to kill insects”, has been increasing day by day. One of these is Pyrifluquinazon. The emerging concern is that after field spray, this insecticide has the tendency to be incorporated into surface water and become a part of the food chain and so becomes toxic for both aquatic and terrestrial organisms. Objective: To investigate the protective potential of Ashwagandha against damaging effect of Pyrifluquinazon (PQZ) on liver and kidney of mature and healthy male albino mice. Methods: Albino mice were divided into four groups, each group contained five mice. First group was control, supplied with water while, three were treated groups (Dose, Dose + Antidote and Antidote group respectively) to check protective potential of Ashwagandha against PQZ induced hepato and nephrotoxicity in mice. The dose group was supplied with PQZ while Dose + Antidote group with PQZ and Ashwagandha as an antidote while the Antidote group was supplied with Ashwagandha. This was accomplished for 20 days trial. Blood sampling and dissection was done at 20th day. Blood sample were taken using intra cardiac sampling method for biochemistry while liver and kidney were separated from each group for histopathological studies. Results: The liver function test and kidney function were normal and indicated restoration of their normal function. Histopathological findings also revealed regeneration in damaged areas of liver and kidney tissues. Conclusions: The Findings of this study clearly revealed the protective potential of Ashwagandha against PQZ induced hepato and nephrotoxicity.

Study on the mechanism of surfactant droplet wetting and coagulation of respiratory dust: The case of AEO-9

In industrial production, spraying is the most widely used dust control method. However, the traditional pure water spray has poor dust removal effect, and the principles of droplet wetting and dust encapsulation are unclear, resulting in poor dust removal effect. In this study, based on the CLSVOF method, we investigated the dynamic wetting and coalescence process of surfactant droplets and dust particles from a microscopic perspective. By changing the size ratio between the droplets and dust particles, as well as the initial velocity of the droplets, we simulated the spreading and wetting of surfactant droplets on the dust surface and found the optimal parameter range for encapsulating respirable dust. Through the experimental determination of spray atomization characteristics, it was found that the spray pressure of 6 MPa and the use of a 1.2 mm fine atomization nozzle produced a spray field with droplet sizes ranging from 14 to 21 μm, accounting for approximately 62.4 % of the distribution. Around 60 % of the droplets had velocities between 20 and 30 m/s. Dust settling efficiency experiments were conducted under these optimal spray parameters, and the settling efficiency of respirable dust reached 84.33 % within the favorable parameter range. Numerical simulations of the dynamic wetting process of dust-fog coupling at the microscopic level, as well as macroscopic spray experiments, were carried out to validate the reliable results. This method has significant implications for the control of respirable dust.

Dusky cotton bug (DCB), Oxycarenus hyalinipennis, a serious economic sucking insect pest of cotton, is a cosmopolitan polyphagous pest with the potency to develop resistance against insecticides. The resistance was evaluated against insecticides of different chemical nature against DCB population from three cotton fields i.e., unsprayed population (Un-sp), field exposed to sucking sprays (SSp) and field exposed to bollworms sprays (BSp) using semi-opened bolls dip method.The DCB population showed differential range of resistance level against tested insecticides. These RR ratios were among susceptibility (1 fold) and tolerance to low resistance (2–10 fold) for all tested insecticides except for deltamethrin with moderate resistance (11–30 fold) for the populations of both sprayed fields. In the order of resistance for the SSp population, deltamethrin (24.4 fold) was followed by imidacloprid (6.4 fold), profenofos (4.0 fold), cypermethrin (3.2), endosulfan (2.8 fold), chlorfenapyr (2.7 fold) and chlothianidin (2.5 fold). For BSp population, RR ratios from high to low were: deltamethrin (21.2 fold) followed by imidacloprid (4.9 fold), chlothianidin (3.7 fold), cypermethrin (2.8 fold), endosulfan (2.7 fold), triazophos (2.4 fold) and profenofos (2.2 fold). Acephate was highly effective with least LC50 followed by spinosad and dimethoate, whereas, lambdacyhalothrin was least effective. Relative toxicity (RT) order from high to low for SSp population was acephate (1.00) followed by spinosad (1.33), chlorfenapyr (2.69), acetamiprid (2.77) and dimethoate (2.85). For BSp population, RT were sequenced as acephate (1.00) followed by spinosad (1.46), chlorfenapyr (1.67) and dimethoate (3.32). In control unsprayed population, RT were in order as acephate < deltamethrin < spinosad < chlorfenapyr (1.0, 1.20, 1.28 and 1.58, respectively). Lambdacyhalothrin was the least toxic against DCB population of all tested fields. From results, it can be suggested that regular insecticide resistance monitoring is crucial to avoid incidence(s) in O. hyalinipennis, and to adopt the rotational application of appropriate insecticides.

Evaluation of some Environmentally Friendly Chemical Preparations in the Control of the Cotton Spiny Nut (Baisd) (Lepidoptera: Phalaenidae) Earias insulana

The study was conducted on a farm belonging to Salah Al-Din Province, Al-Dujail District, Al-Sheikh Jamil District, for the season 2021. The study aimed to study the efficiency of the growth regulator Kinetin alone or in combination with insect growth regulators Runner, Match, and Matric in the resistance of the cotton spiny worm (Baisd) Earias insulana on the cotton plant Gossypium barbadense L. Coker class 310, using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) in the study. Where the study included the use of the plant growth regulator, Kinetin, at concentrations of 100, 200, 300 mg L-1, and the second, some types of insect growth regulators, namely Runner at a concentration of 1 ml L-1, Matric at a concentration of 0.5 ml L-1, and Match at a concentration of 0.5 ml L-1. The plant growth regulator kinetin plays an effective role in influencing the activity of the enzyme catalase in the leaves and bracts of cotton plants. Where the concentration of 200 mg L-1 contributed to increasing the activity rate of the catalase enzyme in leaves and bracts, reaching 22.28 and 19.68 enzyme absorption units g-1 fresh weight. The interaction treatment between the matrix growth regulator and 200 mg L-1-Kinetin excelled in reducing the infection rate, reaching 6.43% at the first spray after 15 days of treatment during the first field spray and 9.95% after 15 days of field treatment after the second spray.

Effect of Fipronil Exposure on Hematological Aspects of Rhesus Monkeys (Macaca mulatta): Risk and Toxicity Assessment in Agro-Workers.

Fipronil (FPN) is a broad-spectrum phenylpyrazole insecticide, widely used in agriculture and veterinary medicine. Published research on FPN toxicity has established the fact that its inhalation or dermal exposure may lead to very serious clinical outcomes in non-target animals. In line to its exposure and toxicity related damage, FPN has been investigated in many invertebrates, however, its exposure-related noxiousness is less reported in higher animals. To assess the FPN-induced effects to agro-workers in the field, in the present study, we used physiological human surrogates, adult rhesus monkeys as models. We exposed well habituated, chair restraint adult rhesus monkeys with a field spray concentration of FPN (0.3 mg/1 mL distilled water) through an inhalation route in the closed system. Animals were divided into control and treatment groups, each containing three animals. Inflammatory and hematological effects were determined by evaluating the kidney and liver biomarker enzymes; serum creatinine and alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST) levels respectively. Our findings reveal that FPN treated monkeys show significantly increased levels of ALT (p = 0.000461), AST (p = 0.0681) and creatinine (p = 0.00656) as compared to the control group. Furthermore, significant differences of red blood cells (RBCs) (p = 0.0139) and white blood cells (WBCs) (p = 0.00642) were also observed in the treated and control group monkeys which reflect strong toxic effects on the blood cells. Our findings demonstrate that FPN exposure is very toxic to higher animals and causes severe damage to the liver and kidneys along with other clinical problems. The study highlights the effect and impact of passive inhalation of insecticides in intentionally carefree agro-workers and raises the concern of public awareness toward pesticides use.

Design and Experiment of a Breakpoint Continuous Spraying System for Automatic-Guidance Boom Sprayers

Repeated and missed spraying are common problems during the working of boom sprayers, especially in the breakpoint continuous process. Therefore, the present study investigated a breakpoint continuous spraying system for automatic-guidance boom sprayers based on a hysteresis compensation algorithm for spraying. An operational breakpoint identification algorithm, which combines a real-time kinematic global navigation satellite system (RTK-GNSS) and wheel odometer, was proposed; a pre-adjusted proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control algorithm for the opening degree of the proportional control valve was designed in thus study. Tests were conducted to establish equations correlating the opening degree of the proportional control valve, pump output flow rate, and main pipeline flow rate, with an R2 ≥ 0.9525. The time to adjust to the target flow rate was experimentally tested. The breakpoint identification accuracy of the RTK-GNSS and RTK-GNSS + wheel odometer was experimentally assessed. A field spraying deposition variation experiment was conducted. According to the results, the system effectively eliminated missed spraying, with a maximum repeated spraying distance of ≤3.3 m, and it achieved a flow control error within 3%. This system also reduced the repeated spraying area and enhanced the pesticide spraying quality of breakpoint continuous spraying for automatic-guidance boom sprayers.

Characterization of Spray Field for Water-Emulsified Diesel Using a Pressure Swirl Atomizer Under a Nonreacting Environment

Abstract Employing a mixture or an emulsion of water and diesel fuel is considered a way to reduce gas emissions such as NOx and soot in a gas turbine. This study presents detailed experimental results on the spray characteristics of a water–diesel emulsion injected by a pressure swirl atomizer with a 90-degree spray angle and a flow number of 0.58 under a nonreacting environment at high pressure and temperature conditions. Acquiring these data is a key step when configuring a combustor that will employ emulsified fuels. In addition, this study seeks to confirm that the emulsion stays intact when it gets sprayed into the combustor. Furthermore, this study attempts to understand if a water–diesel emulsion prepared by a sonicator improves fuel atomization as compared to a water–diesel mixture prepared by a static mixer, i.e., not a proper emulsion. Tests are conducted in a high pressure and temperature testing facility at two ambient pressures and three ambient temperatures and the water to diesel ratio (W/D) is varied from 11% to 100% by mass. Phase Doppler Particle Anemometry (PDPA) is employed to measure the spray characteristics. Through a backlit high-speed photography, overall spray patterns over different test conditions are visualized. Mie-scattering and planar laser-induced fluorescence imaging are utilized to visualize the mixture field. In general, the results indicate that emulsion stays intact as it gets sprayed into the combustor; and emulsion is a better solution to reduce emissions than a statically mixed mixture.

The NexGen burner: Non-Reacting gaseous and spray dynamics

This paper reports the results of a comprehensive investigation to identify turbulent multiphase fluid dynamics through the NexGen burner used for fireworthiness certifications by the Federal Aviation Administration. The burner geometry consists of a draft tube, a stator to swirl the incoming air, a turbulator that is placed immediately downstream of the stator to increase the turbulence intensity of the swirling flow, and a burner cone that exhausts into the atmosphere. A Delavan type-W fuel nozzle, attached downstream of the turbulator injects Jet A into the burner cone, where it mixes with the turbulent swirling air, vaporizes and subsequently burns. The operating conditions consist of air and fuel mass flow rates of 0.0384 kg/s and 2.5 Gph at room temperature and pressure conditions. In this paper, we report on non-reacting fluid dynamics; the reacting flow analysis will be presented in a subsequent manuscript. To systematically analyze the flow configuration, three calculations are conducted. First, to validate our large eddy simulation-based framework, a case without the burner cone is conducted—our results are in reasonable agreement with experimental measurements. In the second configuration, to isolate the effect of liquid injection on turbulent flow physics, simulations are conducted with the burner cone but without fuel spray. Detailed analyses are conducted, including identification of flow structures, swirl generation, and the turbulent kinetic energy budget. Finally, Jet A is injected into the burner, and the spray and gaseous flow fields are quantified and compared with the flow structures developed without spray injection.

Effects of field spray of selected botanicals on management of Phytophthora colocasiae induced taro cultivars cormels myco storage rots in Nsukka, Southeastern Nigeria

Anti-myco pathogenic effect of field spray of botanical extract from neem (Azadirachta indica), Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp) and siam weed (Chromolaena odorata) against Phytophthora leaf blight disease of taro cultivars at weekly spray intervals were determined in vitro on growth of post-harvest myco pathogens of stored taro cultivars cormels. The storage, isolation and identification of the isolates were done at the Department of Crop Science Taro barn and Plant Pathology Unit, University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Results showed that the following fungal isolates were identified; Botryodiplodia theobromae, Sclerotium rolfsii, Aspergillus niger, Fusarium solani, Rhizopus stolonifer, Penicillium digitalium and Trichoderma viride with Botryodiplodia theohromae being the most occurred among the pathogens in all taro stored samples. The inhibitory potential of extracts varied with cultivars and pathogens. The percentage (%) of occurrence of isolates was highest in the coco India cultivar with no treatment, while the least was in purple green taro/Nachi cultivar with Ridomil gold treated samples. However, all botanicals proved effective in reducing post-harvest rot organisms compared to control in all samples. The fungitoxic potential of field sprays of botanicals against myco-rot pathogens of stored taro cultivars cormels is highly recommended to farmers as alternative natural fungicides to common potential health danger synthetic commercial fungicides.

Numerical investigation on spray and flow field characteristics of elliptical nozzle in supersonic crossflow

ABSTRACT It has been suggested that using an elliptical nozzle could enhance the atomization and mixture quality. In order to explore the elliptical liquid jet on spray and flow field characteristics in supersonic airflow, the VOF-Spray one-way coupling model was adopted to study the nozzle exit patterns, size, and velocity distribution of droplets. The research also compared the flow field characteristics in Mach 2.85 air crossflow under the application of different orifices. The numerical results showed that elliptical 4 nozzle (Aspect ratio of 4) had better flow performance than circular nozzle. The cavitation area and turbulent disturbance of elliptical 4 nozzle were mainly concentrated in the major axis direction. The elliptical 4 jet always had a lower penetration depth than circular jet. At the flow range of 0 ~ 50 mm, the penetration depth of elliptical 4 jet is roughly 12% less than that of circular jet. Another finding was that the spanwise extension range of elliptical 4 spray was larger than the circular spray. The spanwise extension range of elliptical 4 spray increased by about 19.4% at most in the flow range of 0 ~ 50 mm. Additionally, the elliptical 4 spray had the smallest Santer Mean Diameter (SMD). The elliptical 4 jet had a 2.9% smaller Santer Mean Diameter than the circular jet. Due to the greater windward surface area of the elliptical 4 orifice, the gas streamwise velocity near the bottom wall was reduced. A reverse vortex pair with distinct characteristics could be observed under the application of elliptical 4 orifice. Furthermore, compared with the circular orifice, the shock wave angle generated by elliptical 4 orifice reduced by 9.7%, and the total pressure recovery coefficient rose by 2.3%.

Effects of Fungicides and Nontarget Pesticides on Accumulation of the Mycotoxin Deoxynivlenol in Wheat.

Deoxynivalenol (DON) is an important virulence factor of the Fusarium head blight of wheat and threatens the health of humans. The effect of fungicides on DON production after stressing wheat to produce H2O2 and the effect of nontarget pesticides on DON accumulation are largely unknown. Five pesticides were selected to explore the effect of pesticide-induced oxidative stress on DON production in vitro and in vivo. Epoxiconazole and hexaconazole significantly induced an increase in H2O2 in vitro, and H2O2 further stimulated the production of DON and the expression of the Tri5 gene. Imidacloprid, isoproturon, and mesosulfuron-methyl had no direct effect in vitro. All pesticides activated the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase in wheat and caused the excessive accumulation of H2O2. However, excessive H2O2 did not stimulate the accumulation of DON. Imidacloprid indirectly stimulated the production of DON in vivo, which may be due to its impact on the secondary metabolism of wheat. In brief, pesticide-induced H2O2 in vitro is an important factor in stimulating DON production, but the stressed physiological H2O2 in wheat is not sufficient to stimulate DON production. The bioaccumulation results indicated that imidacloprid and epoxiconazole increase the risk of DON contamination, especially under field spraying conditions.

White Grub (<i>Leucopholis coneophora</i> Burmeister) Management in Mid-Hill Region of Meghalaya

White grubs are one of the most damaging soil insect pests inflicting economic losses in groundnut cultivation in India. The white grub Leucopholis coneophora (Burmeister) is a polyphagous pest of coconut and intercrops. However, in the mid-hill region of Meghalaya, the occurrence of this species was recorded, which calls for an investigation. Also, there is a need to develop location-specific and easily adoptable climate-ready technologies before it attains pest status. In this context, a field experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of few insecticides and bioformulations with different methods of application. Results showed that seed treatment with imidacloprid 17.8SL @ 3ml/ kg seeds proved to be the most effective by exhibiting the lowest grub incidence (0.17 grubs/ 12 sq m plot) and minimum plant infestation (1.82%). For bioformulations, field spraying with Metarrhizium anisopliae (1x108 spores/ml @5ml/ l) was found to be superior over Beauveria bassiana at the same dose. These results will aid in formulating an ecofriendly IPM strategy for white grubs in this climate-resilient region of India.

Numerical simulation of angled-injected liquid jet breakup in supersonic crossflow by a hybrid VOF-LPT method

The breakup of angled-injected liquid jets in supersonic airflow is investigated numerically by a hybrid Volume of Fluid and Lagrangian Particle Tracking (VOF-LPT) method. A Multi-criterion adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) procedure and dynamic load balancing (DLB) algorithm are applied to improve the accuracy of interface and shock wave characteristics and reduce the use of computational resources and liquid mass loss. The flow characteristics of the spray field and penetration depth of the angled-injected liquid jet from the simulations agreed well with the experimental results. Under the supersonic crossflow conditions, the jet has momentum in the counter-flow direction that improves gas-liquid interactions. The penetration depth of the liquid jet increase with the increase of the injection angle. In particular, the penetration depth of the angled-injected liquid jet is given in the: y/d=0.12·sin(2θ/3)·(esin(2θ/3))3.185·q0.389(x/d)0.309. Moreover, the liquid jet at a larger injection angle has a larger spray spread angle and wider wake region due to the larger windward area. Furthermore, the total pressure loss of airflow increases with the injection angle increasing. Considering the total pressure loss for all injection conditions is lower than 14%, the total pressure loss caused by the injection angle increase can be negligible.

Precision and Accuracy of Field Versus Laboratory Bioassay Insecticide Efficacy for the Control of Immature Bemisia tabaci.

Ecotoxicological studies often result in reports on the limitation and sometime failures of biological assay data to predict field response to similar treatments. Nevertheless, it is widely accepted that controlled bioassays can better quantify the specific mortality response of a target pest species to a specific toxin. To quantify the relationship between whitefly bioassay and field response data, we evaluated a controlled laboratory bioassay and a concurrent cucurbit field trial method to assess insecticide efficacy for controlling the sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae). This was based on oviposition and nymphal development. We specifically tested the assumptions that a maximum dose bioassay would more precisely measure insecticide efficacy as compared with a comparable field spray test evaluation, and the response would be equal between the bioassay and the field as a measure of control accuracy for both adult oviposition and development of nymphal stages. To make a direct comparison, we tested the same whitefly population subsamples from 352 plots in eight cucurbit field experiments in Georgia, USA, in 2021 and 2022. The bioassays provide significantly precision for estimating proportional whitefly response. As expected, treatment-specific nonequivalence in immature whitefly counts between the bioassay and field, i.e., a lack of accuracy, only occurred with insecticides that were not highly toxic to all growth stages of whiteflies.

Numerical simulation of the effect of a wind-assisted spraying device during continuous mining

The continuous mining face is the main dust-producing area in a coal mine. The dust produced endangers the physical and mental health of underground workers and increases their risk of pneumoconiosis. To improve the lack of spraying in the middle part of the continuous mining machine and the poor dust reduction effect, we developed a wind-assisted spraying device placed in the middle of the continuous mining machine. Spraying experiments have shown that a round nozzle with a 2.4-mm aperture containing an X-shaped guide core has a longer effective range and wider atomization angle. Numerical simulations have shown that when the spray pressure is 7 MPa, a dust reduction spray field with uniform droplet size distribution can be formed. After applying the spray parameters obtained in the coal mine field and using the dust removal device, the total dust concentration in the driver's area of the continuous mining machine was significantly reduced.

Industrial-scale experimental study of internal-mixing air-blast nozzle for sludge atomization

The atomization of sewage sludge is a key step in its drying process. This study conducts an industrial-scale experimental study to investigate the performance of a self-developed internal-mixing air-blast nozzle for atomizing sewage sludge. The size of atomized droplets is calculated using image processing technology. Using the specific size and characteristic size of the droplets, the droplet distribution and the droplet motion behavior in spray field are investigated at various air-to-liquid mass flow rate ratio (ALR). The larger the ALR, the smaller the atomization droplets. By installing outlet diffusers and impaction pins, the atomization angle can be increased and the distribution of droplets in the spray field can be improved. The outlet diffuser with an outlet angle of 90° and the square impaction pin exhibit optimal effect. Experiments with real scale and industrial grade have a significant reference value for industrial applications of sludge atomization.

Design and operation of a Peucedani Radix weeding device based on YOLOV5 and a parallel manipulator.

To avoid excessive use of herbicides in the weeding operations of Peucedani Radix, a common Chinese herb, a precision seedling avoidance and weeding agricultural robot was designed for the targeted spraying of herbicides. The robot uses YOLOV5 combined with ExG feature segmentation to detect Peucedani Radix and weeds and obtain their corresponding morphological centers. Optimal seedling avoidance and precise herbicide spraying trajectories are generated using a PSO-Bezier algorithm based on the morphological characteristics of Peucedani Radix. Seedling avoidance trajectories and spraying operations are executed using a parallel manipulator with spraying devices. The validation experiments showed that the precision and recall of Peucedani Radix detection were 98.7% and 88.2%, respectively, and the weed segmentation rate could reach 95% when the minimum connected domain was 50. In the actual Peucedani Radix field spraying operation, the success rate of field precision seedling avoidance herbicide spraying was 80.5%, the collision rate between the end actuator of the parallel manipulator and Peucedani Radix was 4%, and the average running time of the parallel manipulator for precision herbicide spraying on a single weed was 2 s. This study can enrich the theoretical basis of targeted weed control and provide reference for similar studies.

Determination of Planting Pattern and Screening of Agricultural Machineries for Maize-Peanut Strip Intercropping: A Case Study in Henan Province of China

Maize-peanut strip intercropping is an important method to solve the contradiction between grain and oil land competition, and achieve stable grain and oil production. However, there are no research reports on the selection and matching of agricultural machinery for such planting patterns at home and abroad. Therefore, this article takes the Henan Province of China as an example to carry out a study. The main content of this study is to determine the pattern of maize-peanut strip intercropping and screen the agricultural machinery from the perspective of deep integration of agricultural machinery and agronomy. A new strip intercropping pattern consisting of four rows of maize and two ridges (four rows) of peanut was determined. A series of operating machineries suitable for this planting pattern were selected for the needs of mechanized sowing, field spraying, and harvesting. Field experiments were conducted to further verify the applicability and reliability of the determined planting pattern and operating machinery. The yield of 4-4 strip intercropping is slightly lower than that of monocropping maize, but the yield of peanut per mu can be increased by 105.2 kg. Moreover, the yield per mu of 4-4 strip intercropping is about 40% of that of monocropping peanut. This study can effectively compensate for the lack of research on the screening of agricultural machinery for maize-peanut strip intercropping at home and abroad. It also can provide beneficial exploration for the full mechanized production of maize and peanut under this planting pattern, and provide reference for the mechanized production of other crops strip intercropping.
