The new technologies introduced in the mechanized harvesting of sugarcane favor increased productivity, however, the increase in the useful life of the working organs of agricultural machines continues to be an important aspect to consider for their better performance where abrasive wear is identified as the physical phenomenon present in its different elements that most threatens its effective operation. In this paper, the theoretical foundations of the sugarcane base cutting process and the factors to be considered in the analysis of the cane base-cutter blade interaction are addressed. The impact of the field conditions, the process parameters and the handling and assembly of the cutter-blade on the quality and efficiency of mechanized harvesting are also analyzed.

The paper discusses the resource potential of the Imereti region as an opportunity for agricultural production. It considers the influence of this potential on the efficiency of agricultural production as well as the modern challenges of the related process, the objective evaluation of the factors of production (labor, material-technical, financial-economic and other resources) in the region and the analysis of the effectiveness of using those inputs to determine the main directions of agricultural production, to ensure sustainable development of the sector and enhance the region's food independence and economic security. In the article, the authors develop the idea that the natural advantages of the region can be used more effectively to occupy leading positions in international markets in terms of high quality products.

Every year, some of the best agricultural lands in the country are changed for various reasons and converted into non-agricultural uses, and the departure of such lands from the field of agricultural and horticultural production causes irreparable damage. In this regard, the present study was conducted qualitatively, using the fundamental theory method with the aim of investigating the causes of land use change in Dashtestan City of Bushehr province. Participants in this study were 16 experts from agricultural centers in the city who were selected for the study through targeted snowball sampling (chain reference). The criterion for the number of samples was theoretical saturation. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. Finally, the collected data were coded and analyzed in the form of 55 concepts and 18 categories. Finally, the extracted factors based on their nature in 8 mechanisms (economic (13 factors), social (7 factors), environmental (9 factors), welfare (8 factors), legal (7 factors), human (4), supportive (2 factors) and psychological (5 factors) were placed in the model of Strauss and Corbin.

Preservation of genetic variability is very important, especially due to climate change and the need to adapt agricultural production to new conditions. Institute for forage crops Kruševac keeps a small collection of vetch genotypes (Vicia sativa L. and Vicia vilosa L.). Most genotypes are native to South Australia and the rest originates from Serbia. In Serbia, common vetch is cultivated as a feed for ruminants and can be grown for different purposes as a pure crop or in mixtures with cereals. The quality and yield of vetch green mass is very important for both purposes. A small-plot trial was carried out in 2018 and 2019, at the experimental plot of Institute for forage crops in Kruševac, Serbia. Twelve promising genotypes of common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) were examined for green forage dry matter yield and green mass quality. The moment of green mass cutting, for each genotype, was at the stage of full flowering and the formation of the first pods. The following parameters of green mass were examined: forage dry matter yield (DMY), crude protein (CP), crude ash (CA), crude fiber (CF), crude fat (CF), as well as acid detergent fiber (ADF), and neutral detergent fiber (NDF). Significant variability was obtained for all tested traits, except for the fat and ash content. Investigations of genetic variability of common vetch can be a basis of further investigations and improvement of new cultivars with desirable characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main objective of this research is to prioritize investment in the food processing industry in Hamedan and compare the results in two quantitative and qualitative approaches using engineering economics and Delphi. This research is practical in terms of purpose and is non-experimental in terms of data collection. In the present study, valuable themes were found through a Delphi method, and then they were processed from the point of view of experts. Necessary estimates were done using the Engineering-Economic approach (such as fixed investment costs, production costs, depreciation, assets, etc.). The engineering-economic analysis was done by the net present worth (NPW), the rate of return (ROR), and the cost of creating each job. According to the results of the Delphi method, industries related to garlic and potato crops were priorities. Then industries related to pickles production, canned, and concentrated fruits were the next priorities. According to research findings, concerning the standard rate of return (ROR) on investment, the pickles production plan is the first priority. Raisin and potato powder productions situated in the second and third preferences. According to the net present value of investment, forage and animal feed plan, potato powder, and garlic powder production were ranked as first to third, respectively. According to the results of the Delphi method, industries related to products such as garlic and potatoes were given the first priority, followed by picking, canning, and compote industries. Based on the research findings and taking the Capital Return Rate (ROR) criterion into account, the first priority is the picking plan, and raisin production and potato powder production are the next ranks. Based on the cost-of-job creation index, the priority plan for pickling production and the agricultural compost production plan were given the tenth priority. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
