| agricultural shredder: Design and Development of Agricultural Wastes Shredder Vinaychandra Vagadia, 2014-04-28 Master's Thesis from the year 2008 in the subject Agrarian Studies, grade: 7.31, Junagadh Agricultural University (College of Agriculture), course: Farm Power and Machinery, language: English, abstract: It is seen that large quantities of agricultural crop residues are being wasted. A major disadvantage of most recyclable waste is their bulk i.e. it requires a large space for accommodation. It has been observed by bio-scientists that if the waste is burnt, this affects the soil microflora, results in loss of nitrogen and organic matter. Most bulky residues need some type of pre-incorporated physical processing or shredding to facilitate their rapid decomposition and mixing with the soil. It has been an established fact that finer particles (4 to 5 cm) decompose faster as compared to large particles. Shredder is ideal for disposal of course leaves, garden and agricultural wastes. Such as twinges, small branches, flower stalks straw, tree pruning etc. This scientific way returns the nutrients back to the soil in natural ways. Therefore the efforts must be concentrated towards effective utilization of all the wastes.Serious efforts in this direction provide rich dividends to the farmers as well as solve the disposal problems, minimize pollution effects, open up evens for starting rural industries and self-employment or gainful employment for rural youth. It is more relevant way to avoid migration of youth from villages to the urban area in search of employment. Despite their potential economic uses, the valuable natural resources have remained, more or less commercially unexploited. If the technologies developed are properly adopted particularly in the rural area of our country, it will provide supplementary occupation and means of uplift of the financial conditions and living standards of our villages. Therefore besides use as fuel, it can utilized for the production of boards, animal feeds,etc.Bulk density of agricultural wastes are very low hence for the industries based on it there is a problems of handling and transportation as this increases the cost of final products. Hence the size reduction or volume reduction is very much important for effective utilization of all these sort of wastes. Looking all these aspects and to utilize agricultural waste in industries as well as in manure effectively, the research work on “Design and development of agricultural wastes shredder” was carried out with the following objectives. |
| agricultural shredder: Agricultural Waste Fiaz Ahmad, Muhammad Sultan, 2023-11-29 Agricultural waste can be a source of energy, fertilizer, and other inputs at farm and industrial levels. Handling and managing agricultural waste are challenging tasks worldwide, especially in the context of environmental pollution control and sustainable agriculture. Thus, efficient management in terms of reuse, recycling, and reduction of agricultural waste is principally needed not only for the green economy but also for farmers’ profitability. Agricultural Waste – New Insights provides an understanding of agricultural waste production and management, discussing crop residue, biodegradables, biomass, composting and vermiculture, agricultural waste economics, air pollution, environmental safety, waste management and handling, on-farm waste reuse, and agricultural waste value addition.

| agricultural shredder: Renewable Energy Production from Energy Crops and Agricultural Residues Luigi Pari, 2021-03-04 Energies is open to submissions for a Special Issue on “Renewable Energy Production from Energy Crops and Agricultural Residues”. Biomass represents an important source of renewable and sustainable energy production. Its increasing consumption is mainly related to the increase in global energy demand and fossil fuel prices, but also to a lower environmental impact compared to non-renewable fuels. These factors take RED II directives into consideration. In the past, forestry interventions were the main supply source of biomass, but in recent decades two others sources have entered the international scene. These are dedicated energy crops and agricultural residues, which are important sources of biomass for biofuel and bioenergy. Below, we consider four main value chains: • Oil crops: Oil production from non-food oilseed crops (such as camelina, Crambe, safflower, castor, cuphea, cardoon, etc.), oil extraction, and oil utilization for fuel production. • Lignocellulosic crops: Biomass production from perennial grasses (miscanthus, giant reed, switchgrass, reed canary grass, etc.), woody crops (willow, poplar, Robinia, eucalyptus, etc.), and agricultural residues (pruning, maize cob, maize stalks, wheat chaff, sugar cane straw, etc.), considering two main transformation systems: 1. Electricity/heat production 2. Second-generation ethanol production • Carbohydrate crops (cereals, sweet sorghum, sugar beets, sugar cane, etc.) for ethanol production. • Fermentable crops (maize, barley, triticale, Sudan grass, sorghum, etc.) and agricultural residues (chaff, maize stalks and cob, fruit and vegetable waste, etc.) for production of biogas and/or biomethane. |
| agricultural shredder: Handbook of Energy Management in Agriculture Amitava Rakshit, Asim Biswas, Deepranjan Sarkar, Vijay Singh Meena, Rahul Datta, 2023-05-15 This handbook provides a holistic overview of different aspects of energy management in agriculture with an orientation to address the sustainable development goals. It covers possible applications not only from a technical point of view, but also from economic, financial, social, regulatory, and political viewpoints. Agriculture is one of the most imperative sectors that contribute to the economy across different agro-ecologies of the universe with energy inputs in each stage of production, from making and applying chemicals to fueling tractors that lay seeds and harvest crops to electricity for animal housing facilities. The majority of agricultural research has focused on the use of input, production, and productivity, whereas rational energy budgeting and use remain an overlooked and likely underestimated segment, ignored so far while formulating agro-ecosystem framework. Energy management study is a new frontier of agriculture and is challenging duе to complex enterprises, spatial-temporal variability, exposure to pollution, and the predominant effect of the anthropogenic factor on ecology and environment. But it is worth taking the challenge considering the important prerequisite role of energy for sustainable development which has been evidenced from increasing research in recent times. Of recent origin, there are critical, in-depth studies around the globe assessing the capture and flow of energy in the ecosystem, which will help to develop a conceptual framework to incorporate this vital resource in the agriculture management template. This book is a state-of-the-art resource for a broad group of readers including a diversity of stakeholders and professionals in universities, public energy institutions, farmers and farming industry, public health and other relevant institutions, and the broader public as well. |
