Søgaard & Kierkegaard (1994) Information Systems (GIS) have made it possible to established the theory of exponential increases in cost, measure the accuracy of fertiliser spreading in the field. in terms of reduced fertiliser efficacy and spreading This demonstrates that the field coefficient of variation, accuracy within a field crop or paddock with reduced “field CV”, of actual spread patterns on farms is spreading accuracy, which is referred to today as the significantly higher than appreciated by most end users field CV. and service providers. Levels of field CV greater than There is confusion as to what a CV (the ratio of the 40% for spreading N fertiliser produces a 20% yield standard deviation to the mean) means in fertiliser reduction, which in terms of urea on dairy pasture is spread. Some of the confusion is a result of there being potentially around $170 million nationally, and is two commonly used terms when discussing fertiliser economically significant. Manufacturers of fertiliser CV, i.e., “transverse CV” and “field CV”. The most spreading equipment and ground-spread applicators commonly measured transverse CV is produced from have introduced improved delivery technologies which a transverse tray test and is used to calculate the appropriate bout or swath width for a spreading vehicle reduce field CV. -

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. FLOW OF PARTICULATE MATERIAL FROM A TOPDRESSING AIRCRAFT A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Agricultural Engineering At Massey University, New Zealand Miles Crispin Ellis Grafton 2010 Abstract Fixed wing agricultural aircraft apply approximately 40% of the fertiliser used in New Zealand, the majority of which is applied in hill country. The amount varies from approximately 600,000 tonnes to 1.2 million tonnes per annum. About 100 fixed wing aircraft of various types are engaged in agricultural operations throughout the country and the safety record has been of considerable concern; the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of New Zealand report that there are 12 serious accidents per 100,000 flying hours which result in 4 deaths, almost 2 annually. Agricultural aviation stakeholders, including, the Department of Labour, Civil Aviation Authority, New Zealand Agricultural Aviation Association (NZAAA) and Federated Farmers are trying to reduce the number of incidents in the sector by establishing guidelines for airstrips, fertiliser storage facilities, their use and application from them. A large proportion of incidents have, as contributing factors, poor flowing product which cannot be jettisoned in time to avert an accident, collisions with obstructions near the airstrip (20% of all accidents are aircraft hitting fences in proximity to the airstrip) and damage to aircraft due to an inappropriate surface, such as rutting. -

Yet, as a state expression of what is valued in society, honours provide a window into shifts in society. This study of dames and knights is undertaken in the context of the changes in the lives of New Zealand women in the twentieth century. Situated in a changing and shifting environment, the honours system has itself changed, influenced by the ebb and flow of the feminist movement, the decline of imperial and aristocratic forces, and New Zealand's evolving independence and identity. At the same time, the system has been in some respects static, slow to respond to charges of being an imperial anachronism, and, despite some change in what areas of service titles were granted for, remaining a gendered space focused on the traditionally male-dominated fields of politics, law and commerce. -

Agricultural Aviation and the Pilot Chemical Rating
Agricultural aviation and the pilot chemical rating What an operator in the (agricultural aviation) industry needs to know and do to be environmentally safe J Maber February 2015 Summary Key aspects: • Regulatory – CAR Part 61 sub-part P, NZS8409 and Regional Council rules. Also AC61-16 – guidance to facilitate compliance with rule requirements and HSNO/H&SE enforcement. See Appendix 1 • Essential (compulsory) course content • “Nice to have” course content Other considerations: • Size of the market – number of candidates and course providers • Course cost • Course “status” and the requirements of regulatory agencies other than CAA. See Appendix 2 • Nature of the agric. aviation industry – geographically scattered and unpredictable work loads A Risk Management approach - the relationship between hazard, exposure and risk The pilot chemical rating Questions 1. What is the prime objective for the chemical rating? 2. How best can the enforcement /regulator/employer and the candidate each be assured that the course content, delivery and assessment are at the required high standard? 3. Should the course content (ie the workbook or manual) be the same for all courses, covering fert, agchem and VTA (see the NPRM which refers to ratings and “authorizations”) 4, How much of the course can be on line, how much “hands on” practical and how much “classroom”? 5. Who should “own” the chemical rating, ie be responsible for checking that it remains relevant? 6. Who should administer the chemical rating – the workbook, the presenter(s) or tutor(s), the assessment the issue of Certificates and the associated database. 7. What relevance if any is the AIRCARE checklist for fertiliser, agchem or VTA application in relation to the scope and extent of topics covered in the workbook? 8. -

The sowing seeds wherewithal/ a method by Helicopter is optimal advantage and superior, especially in cases of small-scale seed dispersal, such as wheat, barley, rice, flax, sorghum. This method is also considered optimal when the desire for rapid agriculture to compensate for the delay in sowing date, as well as in agriculture in the uneven ground. Moreover, the seeding on the flat ground by aircraft has many advantages where they are scattering on the large areas speedy to avoid bad weather and get the best plant density gained from ground agriculture. The flow process of seeds from Helicopter and planted in processed soil for planting meticulously; as a result to equal of the grain weight with the absence of exotic materials. Once calibrated the device which responsible for the flow and the distribution of seeds in the Helicopter, It will function in the work is outweigh than any another unparalleled device; distinct in its accuracy and regularity; this is an excellent evidence as optimal methodological for the precision farming system.
