The physical properties of finger millet grain and kernel with variation of moisture content from 7 to 25 % were studied. It was found that the geometric mean …show more content…

It popularly called as Nachni (meaning dancer) in the state of Maharashtra (Kumar et al., 2013, Pradhan et al., 2010, Gowda et al., 2005 and Satish et al. 2004).

There is scope to develop equipments for finger millet sowing, harvesting and threshing. While developing new equipments, the knowledge of moisture dependent physical and aerodynamic properties of seed, kernel and husk are important. The size and shape of seed are essential properties in designing of separating, harvesting, cleaning and grinding machines (Gupta et al. 2007, Wandkar et al., 2012, Sahay & Singh, 1994 and Mohsenin, 1980). Bulk density and porosity have an effect on the

    The Current Problem Pueraria montana, commonly known as Kudzu, once introduced into an environment kills other vegetation and takes over a landscape. According to Bergmann, (2016), “Kudzu kills surrounding plants by suffocating them under a cover of its leaves, encompassing the area with woody stems and tree trunks, and breaking branches or evacuating entire trees and shrubs.” Not only does Kudzu kill plant life around it; it also grows at an alarming rate of about one foot per day. Mature vines can grow to about 60 - 100 feet in length and spreads by vines that stem at the nodes to arrange new plants (Bergmann, 2009). The researcher proposed several solutions aimed at destroying, limiting growth, or creating a new market for controlled use.
