Broadcasting is scattering the seed on the surface of the land by hand or with simple implements. Grass, clover and other small herbage seeds are generally broadcast with hand seeders. Broadcasting of cereals is also carried out by hand in some developing countries. 4, record 1, English, - broadcasting

The advantage of broadcasting for such a crop as a grass and clover ley is that a more complete covering of the ground can be achieved than is possible with a drill. 5, record 1, English, - broadcasting

Suivant le mode de répartition des graines, le semis est dit "à la volée", "en lignes", ou "en poquets". Le semis à la volée consiste à disperser les graines aussi uniformément que possible sur toute la surface réservée à la culture. Cette répartition gêne les travaux culturaux, mais elle permet l'obtention d'une forte densité de plantes à l'unité de surface. On l'utilise encore pour des semis d'espèces à végétation rapide, comme les radis et les laitues. 4, record 1, French, - semis%20%C3%A0%20la%20vol%C3%A9e

A voleo es lo corriente en el gran cultivo tradicional; el sembrador, saco al hombro, avanza acompasadamente y combina el ritmo de su paso con la rotación del brazo a la par que suavemente abre el puño para esparcir la semilla con uniformidad en una franja de tierra o amelga que suele tener 6-8 metros de anchura. 4, record 1, Spanish, - siembra%20a%20voleo

Cuando la semilla se tira sobre el suelo sin orden alguno, para taparla después con el arado o con las rastra, como se acostumbra sembrar el trigo en muchas partes y el maíz al crecer, se llama siembra al vuelo o manteada. 5, record 1, Spanish, - siembra%20a%20voleo

The Bellani plate [used to measure evaporation] consists of a thin, porous, black ceramic disk, 7.5 cm in diameter, fused to the large end of a glazed, ceramic funnel. Water is conducted through the lower open end of the funnel from a burette which acts as a reservoir and a measuring device. 4, record 2, English, - Bellani%20atmometer

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Evaporimeter(atmometer) An evaporimeter consists of a flat, porous ceramic disk(Bellani plate) in which water is drawn up by capillary action as water is evaporated from the disk. It is used to directly estimate crop evapotranspiration rate. Several commercial models can be easily installed near the edge of a field or on a roadway in a field.(The unit must be located far enough into the field to avoid field boundary effects.) One commercial model provides a green canvas-like material covering the ceramic disc to simulate crop leaf color. Reasonably good correlation has been found between field measurements and that calculated from Penman-type equations. Small difference in evaporation rates may be found between individual meters. Maintaining water levels and removal for freeze protection are necessary. 5, record 2, English, - Bellani%20atmometer

Radiant mulch: the answer to greenhouse heating. ... An example is given of 5400 m² melons grown in polyethylene-clad tunnels, 33% of the ground area being covered by radiant mulch consisting of 2 sheets of 400 mu m gauge flexible PVC welded together by high frequency welding. The heated water passes through the mulch and acts as an energy reserve in addition to the solar energy entering the greenhouse. 2, record 3, English, - radiant%20mulch
