Plasma hardening of heavily loaded parts of soil-cutting machines by A. T. Kanaev, A. V. Bogomolov, T. E. Sarsembaeva, I. M. Kossanova

“…It is shown that surface plasma hardening of ploughshare made of structural steel 65Mn in the hardened zone with thickness of 0,8 mm leads to formation of gradient-layered (mixed) structure consisting of finely dispersed mixture decay products of fine-grained austenite with variable microhardness in the range of 760 – 395 HV. …”

Étude métallographique de fers à cheval et d’outillage agricole du site de Montbaron. Éléments de réflexion sur la qualité des matériaux employés en sidérurgie médiévale... by Delphine Neff, Philippe Dillmann, Maxime Lheritier, Armelle Querrien

“…Two of them, a hatchet and a hoe, seem to have undergone case hardening or treatment intended to render their external surfaces more resistant. The ard ploughshare and the horseshoes however do not show, in their minor elements, a homogenous composition : the original billets have not been deliberately chosen for any specific qualities. …”

Placement of plow working bodies for plowing soil slopes by Mamatov Farmon, Rashidov Nurbek, Badalov Sunnat, Chorieva Dilsabo

“…It has been established that to ensure complete turnover of the layers within their own furrow by the hulls and the formation of the required ridges and intermittent grooves longitudinal distance between and toe even-numbered body ploughshare should be at least 110 cm.…”

A Justification of Broach-Plow’s Parameters of the Ridge-Stepped Ploughing by Mirzaev Bakhadir, Mamatov Farmon, Tursunov Obid

“…It was indicated that the turnover of the layers with the lowest energy costs is provided with the following parameters of the plow of odd hulls: plow length is 75 cm, plow width is 25 cm, stabilizing plate height is 15 cm, and the minimum distance from the ploughshare toe to the stabilizing plate is 25 cm. An installation angle of the plate to the furrow bottom, the length of the plate and the width of the wing holders, as well as the physical and mechanical properties of the soil have a significant impact on the traction resistance of the hedge.…”

Comparative ecophysiology of a critically endangered (CR) ectotherm: Implications for conservation management. by Andrea F T Currylow, Angelo Mandimbihasina, Paul Gibbons, Ernest Bekarany, Craig B Stanford, Edward E Louis, Daniel E Crocker

“…We tracked plasma concentrations of steroid stress and reproductive hormones, body condition, activity, and environmental parameters in three populations (one wild and two geographically distinct captive) of ploughshare tortoise (Astrochelys yniphora). Hormone profiles along with environmental and behavioral data are presented and compared. …”

La agricultura ibérica del Levante en su contexto mediterráneo by José UROZ SÁEZ

“…The need also arises to study the climatic-botanical conditions of a territory in order to know its agricultural resources; we refer to cultivations and tools focusing specially on how important the use of the iron ploughshare turned out to be. Finally, we deal with some issues related to labour force social conditions, land property and niche imbalances, always looking at the Italian Peninsula out of the corner of our eye.…”

THE USE OF SMART PIEZOCERAMICS FOR CULTIVATING THE SOIL IN AGRICULTURE by Сергей Александрович Филимонов, Александр Викторович Батраченко, Сергей Сергеевич Ященко, Надежда Викторовна Филимонова

“…The aim of the work is to improve the cultivation working bodies by reducing the total amount of traction resistance (friction) of the soil on the surface of the ploughshare and reducing the sticking of the working bodies by using SMART PIEZOCERAMICS and vibration principles. …”

Effect of side-wings on draught: The case of Ethiopian ard plough (maresha) by Gebregziabher, S, De Swert, K, Saeys, W, Ramon, H, De Ketelaere, B, Mouazen, A, Gebray, P, Gebrehiwot, K, Bauer, H, Deckers, J, De Baerdemaeker, J

“…This research considered tool geometry (maresha plough with and without side-wings) and rake angle (shallow - 8°, medium deep - 15°, and deep - 24°, representing primary, secondary and tertiary tillage processes in Ethiopia, respectively).Maresha plough with side-wings has greater contact area, between the moving soil and tool, than its wingless counterpart. When the ploughshare surface and soil slide relative to one another, the draught expected to increase with contact area, as adhesion and friction resistance increases with area. …”

Simulation of Soil Cutting and Power Consumption Optimization of a Typical Rotary Tillage Soil Blade by Xiongye Zhang, Lixin Zhang, Xue Hu, Huan Wang, Xuebin Shi, Xiao Ma

“…Finally, the effectiveness of the simulation optimization model in reducing power consumption and the accuracy of the soil-cutting simulation were verified by a rotary tilling inter-field test, which provided theoretical reference and technical support for the design and optimization of other typical soil-touching parts of tillage and related equipment, such as disc harrow, ploughshare, and sub-soiling shovel.…”
