La station de semences [...] Le traitement des semences est indispensable pour lutter contre les maladies transmises par les semences et pour protéger les jeunes plantes contre les parasites naturellement présents dans le sol. Il assure également une protection contre des attaques précoces de maladies et de parasites en végétation. Le choix de la ou des substances actives(mode et spectre d’action, persistance) tient compte des analyses sanitaires des lots bruts de semences qui arrivent dans les stations(et donc des éventuelles maladies présentes qui varient d’une année sur l'autre et du niveau de contamination) ainsi que du type de protection recherchée. Les appareils de traitement industriels permettent d’appliquer ces matières actives à la bonne dose. 2, record 1, French, - station%20de%20traitement%20de%20semences

Antenne d’un ADF [Automatic Direction Finder]. [...] L'ADF reçoit les signaux de deux antennes-L'antenne cadre et l'antenne de lever de doute. L'antenne cadre, communément utilisé de nos jours, est en fait une petite antenne plate sans partie qui bouge. Placé verticalement, ce cadre devient un collecteur d’ondes de sol à effet directif. La tension induite par l'onde électromagnétique qui provient du NDB [Non Directional Beacon] est captée par le cadre et acheminée vers le récepteur équipé d’un modulateur 50 Hz. Un transmetteur de type synchro(synchro-transmetteur), solidaire du cadre, va transmettre grâce à son moteur électrique la position du cadre à l'aiguille de l'ADF. Celle-ci indiquera par conséquent la direction de la balise par rapport à l'axe de l'avion. Dans l'antenne se trouvent plusieurs embobinages placés à différents angles, cela ne lui permet pas de déterminer si on se dirige ou si on s’éloigne d’une station NDB.

Many different types of evaporation pans are being used. The best known pans are the Class A evaporation pan (circular pan) and the Sunken Colorado pan (square pan). The principle of the evaporation pan is the following: the pan is installed in the field; the pan is filled with a known quantity of water (the surface area of the pan is known and the water depth is measured); the water is allowed to evaporate during a certain period of time (usually 24 hours). For example, each morning at 7 o'clock a measurement is taken. The rainfall, if any, is measured simultaneously -after 24 hours, the remaining quantity of water (i.e. water depth) is measured; -the amount of evaporation per time unit (the difference between the two measured water depths) is calculated; this is the pan evaporation: E pan (in mm/24 hours); -the E pan is multiplied by a pan coefficient, K pan, to obtain the Eto [reference crop evapotranspiration]. 1, record 8, English, - sunken%20Colorado%20pan

La difficulté d’accéder à la mesure directe de l'évaporation d’une surface d’eau a conduit à l'utilisation d’appareils constitués d’un bac, d’un bassin ou d’une cuve de profondeur variable et d’assez grande surface, dans lesquels on mesure l'abaissement du niveau de l'eau sous l'action de l'évaporation. On peut citer : 1) Les bacs d’évaporation sur charpente dont le type est celui dit «de classe A» [...] 2) Les bacs d’évaporation enterrés dont le type est celui dit «Colorado», mis au point par la Station Expérimentale d’Agriculture du Colorado : il mesure trois pieds(91, 4 cm) de côté et a une profondeur de 18 pouces(45, 7 cm) ;l'eau est maintenue à 4 pouces(10, 2 cm) du rebord, au niveau du sol. Il existe une version «métrique» de ce bac ayant un mètre carré de superficie et 50 centimètres de profondeur; il est enterré, son bord supérieur restant à dix centimètres au-dessus du sol et l'eau est maintenue à peu près au même niveau que le sol. 3) Le bac BPI(Bureau of Plant Industry/U.

Sometimes called "trickle irrigation", a drip irrigation system delivers water slowly to growing plants and limits the delivered water to the immediate vicinity of the roots.... Drip systems consist of emitters, lateral lines, main lines, and a control station. Emitters control the flow of water from the lateral line to the soil at the base of a plant, generally at a rate of from 1 to 4 gallons (3.8 to 15.1 liters) per hour. 1, record 19, English, - drip%20irrigation%20system

A typical LOLA sensor array consists of a centre-field unit and five outlying remote stations, normally in a ring just over 3 kimometers from the centre. The spacing of the units from one another along the ring is governed by a number of siting criteria, which have been refined through operational experience - for example, local wind climatology, terrain, logistical constraints and airport layout.
