English

Subject field(s)
  • Agricultural Economics
  • Plant and Crop Production
CONT

Yield components of crops. The yield of a grain crop plant can be divided into various components which together contributed to the yield. These components include : Heads, ears or pods per acre... Number of kernels or seeds per head, ear or pod... Weight per kernel or seed... Any crop production factor which decreases any one of these factors results in decreased yield.... Full yield potential is almost never achieved because environmental conditions may limit one or more of the yield components during the growing season.

Record 2 2018-11-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biomass Energy
DEF

Fuel produced from cellulosic materials, crop residues and agricultural and municipal wastes.

CONT

Second-generation biofuels use advanced technical processes and can be made from any lignocellulosic biomass feedstock, such as forest and crop residues, wood chips, food waste, municipal solid waste, chicken litter, straw and algae. Evidence shows that these fuels tend to offer lower full life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions than first-generation biofuels...

CONT

Since the main component of these biomass materials is cellulose, second-generation biofuels are also known as cellulosic fuels ... Other than cellulosic ethanol, which is the principal second-generation biofuel, biomethanol, dimethyl ether, biohydrogen, synthetic diesel and synthetic gasoline are also emerging from the ... biomass materials.

OBS

There is considerable debate on how to classify biofuels. Biofuels are commonly divided into first-, second- and third-generation biofuels, but the same fuel might be classified differently depending on whether technology maturity, GHG [greenhouse gas] emission balance or the feedstock is used to guide the distinction.

Key term(s)
  • 2nd-generation biofuel
  • second-generation bio-fuel
  • 2G bio-fuel
  • 2nd-generation bio-fuel

French

Domaine(s)
  • Énergie de la biomasse
DEF

Carburant produit à partir de matières cellulosiques, de résidus agricoles et de déchets agricoles et municipaux.

CONT

Les biocarburants de seconde génération : la seconde génération de biocarburants est issue de source ligno-cellulosique (bois, feuilles, paille, etc.) à partir de processus techniques avancés. Au lieu d'utiliser les graines ou les tubercules des plantes comme dans la première génération, les nouveaux procédés cherchent à améliorer le bilan énergétique en utilisant toute la plante.

OBS

Principales méthodes de production des biocarburants de seconde génération : production par voie thermochimique (gazéification) : la gazéification est un procédé technologique complexe qui permet de transformer de la biomasse en gaz (essentiellement de l'hydrogène et du monoxyde de carbone). Ce procédé thermochimique est obtenu dans des conditions de températures et de pression élevées (environ 1000 °C et 40 bars); production par voie biochimique : la biomasse (de type lignocellulosique) est transformée en sucre par des enzymes. Le sucre ainsi produit est ensuite transformé en éthanol par un procédé de fermentation.

OBS

biocarburant de deuxième génération : terme publié au Journal officiel de la République française le 19 septembre 2018.

CONT

[The] computations of daily intake assume that all of the crop may bear [pesticide] residues at the full tolerance level and, finally, that none of the residues are lost upon preparation and cooking. Such a computation is called TDI or theoretical daily intake.

Record 5 1997-05-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Farm Implements and Gardening Tools
OBS

The damage to crop establishment, and suppression of full grain yield potential, limits the knife opener to low rates of seed row N when direct seeding. In contrast to the spoon opener, which also reduced wheat and barley seedling stand establishment at high N rates, placement of seed and urea-N in a narrow(2 cm) band with the knife resulted in damage which carried through to yield formation and grain filling. [Source : ethanol project-Ajnplmt. en p. 2].

French

Domaine(s)
  • Outillage agricole et horticole
OBS

Contrairement à la situation observée avec le coutre à cuiller, qui conduisait aussi à une réduction du nombre de plants de blé et d'orge lorsque l'azote était appliqué en doses élevées, l'emploi du coutre à couteau pour déposer les semences et le N-urée en une bande étroite (2 cm) s'est traduit par un endommagement des cultures qui s'est répercuté jusque dans les étapes de la production et du remplissage du grain.
