EVALUATION OF TILLAGE, AT-PLANTING TREATMENT, AND NEMATICIDE ON TOBACCO THRIPS (THYSANOPTERA: THRIPIDAE) AND RENIFORM NEMATODE (TYLENCHIDA: HOPLOLAMIDAE) MANAGEMENT IN COTTON

Evaluation of Tillage, At-Planting Treatment, and Nematicide on Tobacco Thrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) and Reniform Nematode (Tylenchida: Hoplolamidae) Management in Cotton

There are numerous early-season pests of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., that are economically important, including tobacco thrips, Frankliniella fusca (Hinds), and reniform nematode, Rotylenchulus reniformis (Linford & Oliveira).Both of these species have the potential to reduce plant growth and delay crop maturity, ultimately resulting in redu

Equivalent Rope Length-Based Trajectory Planning for Double Pendulum Bridge Cranes with Distributed Mass Payloads

The hoisting form in which the payload is hung on the hook by two rigging ropes is widely used in the industry, but it also results in the complex double pendulum dynamic of the bridge crane, making the anti-swing trajectory planning full of Collections challenges.In this paper, based on the concept of the equivalent rope length, an equivalent sing
