РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ ИССЛЕДОВАНИЙ БЕЗОПАСНОСТИ ТРУДА НА КЛЮКВЕННЫХ ЧЕКАХ В УСЛОВИЯХ ИЗМЕНЯЮЩИХСЯ ПАРАМЕТРОВ ПРОИЗВОДСТВЕННОЙ СРЕДЫ

As a result of the research on improvement of labour safety in the conditions of changing parameters of cranberry production the mathematical model has been developed. The model allows determining optimal values of the factors when the maximum value of fullness of safe cutting of cranberry shoots is reached. It is established that the process of shoots raising, brushing and cutting is the greatest danger for a machinery operator to be injured on a cranberry check.В результате проведенных исследований по повышению безопасности труда в условиях изменяющихся параметров производственной среды промышленного выращивания клюквы крупноплодной разработана математическая модель, которая позволяет определить оптимальные значения факторов, при которых достигается максимальное значение полноты безопасной обрезки стелющихся побегов клюквы. Установлено, что наибольшую опасность для травмирования механизатора на клюквенном чеке представляет выполнение технологического процесса по поднятию, расчесыванию и обрезке стелющихся побегов клюквенника

ОЦЕНКА УРОВНЯ БЕЗОПАСНОСТИ ТРУДА НА УБОРКЕ КОРМОВЫХ КУЛЬТУР КАК ПОКАЗАТЕЛЯ СНИЖЕНИЯ ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНЫХ РИСКОВ

The article substantiates the indicator of occupational safety of an operator of mobile agricultural machinery depending on his professional training, injury risk of equipment, and working conditions. Proposed is the range of the levels of occupational safety of forage harvester operators, what contributes to the rational allocation of operators for equipment, and as a result, efficiency increase of the measures on labour protection.В статье обоснован показатель безопасности труда оператора мобильной сельскохозяйственной техники от профессиональной его подготовки, травмоопасности технического средства и условий труда. Предложена градация уровней безопасности труда операторов кормоуборочных комбайнов, что способствует рациональному распределению операторов за техникой и, как следствие, повышению эффективности мероприятий по охране труда

Oregon's bounty of horticultural crops & landscapes

Oregon has a rich history in the production of fruits, berries, vegetables, and ornamental crops; the state’s national and international reputation for delivering high-quality products is well-established and well-deserved. In the past, agriculture and forestry were the foundation of Oregon’s economy. Although other activities now are equal in size to these land-based enterprises, agriculture continues to make a significant contribution to Oregon’s economic well-being. Oregon agriculture has not been immune to the impacts of economic globalization. Production, processing, marketing technologies, and the American palate are changing rapidly. More than ever before, producers, processors, and marketers link their success in agriculture to creativity and entrepreneurism.Published December 2009.

Hazelnut cultivar 'Lewis'

‘Lewis’ is a hazelnut cultivar developed by Oregon State University and released in January 1997. This cultivar is precocious, and it is more productive and has a smaller tree size than ‘Barcelona.’ Harvest is earlier than for ‘Barcelona,’ and the nuts have fewer defects.Published May 2002.

How to reduce the risk of pesticide resistance in cherry pests in Oregon

Pesticides—including insecticides, acaricides, fungicides, and bactericides are essential for growing healthy crops with reliable yields and quality. In many instances, pesticides have become less effective as target organisms have developed resistance. The first record of resistance dates to 1897, when orchardists began having problems controlling San Jose scale (Quadraspidiotus perniciosus [Comstock]) and codling moth (Cydia pomonella [L.]). Since then, pesticide resistance has become a worldwide threat to commercial agriculture. By the end of 2006, there were 645 specific cases of agricultural insecticide resistance, affecting 316 compounds.Published September 2008.
