Grain threshing is aimed at separating the grain from the inedible chaff.However, mechanical forces often damage grains, impacting their quality, market value, and germination ability.This comprehensive review examines theories and models developed to study and predict grain damage during threshing.These include contact theory, fracture mechanics m
Introduction Unbalanced and frequent use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides results in the degradation of soil physicochemical properties, loss of soil-born organisms, reduction of quality of produced crops and reduction of yield plant.Nowadays, due to environmental considerations of chemical fertilizers, use of organic acids for quantitative a
