Published: February 2023

La cosecha demorada de soja puede afectar la calidad sanitaria de la semilla y la posibilidad de su uso para la siembra. Los patógenos de semillas afectan negativamente el vigor y el desarrollo normal de las plántulas y, por lo tanto, la buena implantación del cultivo. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el efecto de la demora en la cosecha por condiciones climáticas adversas, sobre la incidencia de los patógenos en las semillas, y la presencia de estructuras fúngicas reproductivas en los tallos. Las evaluaciones se realizaron durante   dos años (2016 y 2018) en la localidad de Pergamino, provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Los análisis sanitarios de semillas y tallos se efectuaron a través del blotter test y cámara húmeda respectivamente; con posterior observación de estructuras reproductivas mediante estudios morfológicos bajo microscopio estereoscópico y óptico. Los resultados de esta experiencia  demostraron que la cosecha demorada de soja por factores climáticos adversos incrementó significativamente la incidencia de patógenos en las semillas (p < 0,0001) y la presencia de estructuras fúngicas de resistencia en los tallos (p < 0,0001).

Published: February 2023

Argentina is the world's leading exporter of confectionery sunflower. This work characterized the morphometric and nutritional composition of sunflower seeds from new confectionery genotypes. Average morphometric variables per seed were: weight 0.11 and 0.06 g with and without achene, respectively; length 15.2 mm; and width 8.50 mm, with most calibers greater than 9.51 mm. Proximate analysis indicated that seeds without shell were an important source of lipids (49 %), as well as proteins (28 %), carbohydrates (11 %), and minerals (4.8 % ashes). Fatty acid composition showed that polyunsaturated fatty acids were the major components (56 %), followed by monounsaturated ones (34 %), and saturated ones (11 %). The mid-oleic genotype developed by INTA showed significantly greater oleic acid (47 %) and lower linoleic acid (42 %) than the commercial hybrid. Proteic composition showed 33 % of essential amino acids (EAA) while fiber and sugars represented 3.9 % and 7.3 % respectively; macroelements such as K, Mg and Ca, and microelements such as Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Se, Co, Mo and Na. New confectionery sunflower hybrids developed by INTA stand out for their high quality in edible oil, proteins and essential components, all very valuable for the food industry.

Published: February 2023

En Argentina, la normativa vigente establece cuatro años de evaluación de rendimiento para cualquier nuevo cultivar comercial de trigo pan. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar la cantidad óptima de años de evaluación en ensayos comparativos de rendimiento de cultivares de trigo pan, condicionando dicho óptimo al grupo de calidad, ciclo de crecimiento y manejo fitosanitario. Se estimaron componentes de varianza (REML) con los datos de la Red de evaluación de cultivares de trigo pan de Argentina (RET), correspondientes a diez sitios experimentales. Se consideraron los tres grupos de calidad (GC1, GC2 y GC3), la primera y tercera época de siembra (E1 y E3), y manejo con y sin fungicida (CF y SF). Los resultados muestran que se requieren tres años de ensayos para evaluar el rendimiento de los diferentes grupos de calidad y ciclos de crecimiento manejados CF. Para el SF, se requieren cuatro años, excepto para GC1 en E3 y GC2 en E1, que demandan tres y más de cinco años, respectivamente. Estos resultados indican que la norma actual es apropiada para la mayoría de los casos; incluso, podría reducirse a tres CF, para mejorar la calidad de los ensayos y aumentar el número de repeticiones.

Published: February 2023

The aim of this work was to identify genetic resistance to charcoal rot (Macrophomina phaseolina) in soybean germplasm from the National Breeding Program of the Instituto Paraguayo de Tecnología Agraria (Paraguayan Institute of Agricultural Technology). During two seasons, 51 commercial and experimental lines from the local breeding program were field evaluated in Itapúa-Paraguay. The lines were planted in single rows previously infested, using a completely randomized block design with four repetitions. The charcoal rot severity was evaluated in the stems and roots at the physiological maturity stage. On a Root and Stem Severity index scale of 1-5, the median severity for the 34 early maturity genotypes was 1.5 and 1 in 2017/2018 and 2018/2019, respectively. Nine genotypes (AG-6525 xi, SP14041, SP14222, SP14583, SP15013, SP15133, SP15218, SP16020, and SPB-14146) were rated as resistant (1) in both evaluations. The median severity for the 15 semi-early genotypes was 2 and 1 in 2017/2018 and 2018/2019, respectively. This study allowed us to identify previously unreported sources of resistance to charcoal rot in maturity group IV, V and VI. We believe that germplasm screening under field conditions is a viable alternative to identify breeding lines which are less sensitive to charcoal rot.
Onomatopoeia: When Sound Is Seen

Published: February 2023

Phonogram is a visual element in comics that represents the existence of sound. Together with picture elements, they both create a construction that is governed by a narrative. As a manifestation of sound, phonogram’s existence also delivers a message in the form of signs. By using a semiotic approach, this study seeks to identify the nature of the phonogram, its function, and the way it is produced and perceived. Symbolic messages are created to dramatize comics. Because of phonogram’s nature that imitates stereotypes in the real world, comic artists lead the reader to agree on the false reality presented in comic works. Phonogram’s creation requires two step interpretations, namely interpretation of sound and interpretation of visualization. The form of expression on the phonogram is not universal, because it refers to certain cultural stereotypes.

Published: February 2023

The empowerment of the Ratu Kinasih studio through the Gulma Penida dance training is expected to be able to enrich the types of dance that previously existed in Nusa Penida and can also be presented as entertainment to tourists visiting Nusa Penida.  The benefit of this program is that it can channel creativity; increase knowledge and skills of dance art; promote more interesting traditional dances with meaningful movements from the potential of local wisdom that has never been published; and be an attraction for foreign and local tourists. Empowerment of the Gulma Penida dance was carried out in Lembongan Village, a coastal area with the local wisdom of cultivating seaweed that has been practiced for a long time. Besides that, Nusa Penida is also known for its woven cloth crafts made by residents in Karang Ampel Village. The two potentials in Nusa Penida, namely the potential for seaweed farming and the craft of woven cloth, have been used as a source of ideas in the creation of the Gulma Penida dance. The implementation of this empowerment was carried out from April to August 2022. The empowerment program participants totaled 12 people. From this empowerment program, the result shows that students are skilled at dancing the Gulma Penida dance and can promote the Gulma Penida dance.

Coseismic Coulomb Stress Changes on Intraplate Faults in the Western Quebec Seismic Zone, Canada: Implications for Seismic Hazards
Authors: Rimando Jeremy , Peace Alexander , Goda Katsuichiro , Sirous Navid , Rosset Philippe , Chouinard Luc
Published: February 2023

There is currently no active fault map for the intraplate western Quebec seismic zone (WQSZ) in eastern Canada, and consequently, no detailed finite-fault source models which are critical for seismic hazard assessments in this region with a rapidly growing population. While previous numerical stress modelling studies have shown that mostly NNW-SSE to NW-SE-striking faults exhibit the highest potential for reactivation under the present-day tectonic stress field, such modelling is unable to take into account the interaction of faults and earthquakes. This study attempts to identify possible future rupture zones using Coulomb stress analysis. We explore the static stress transfer caused by select earthquakes (MW > 4.5) in the past century to proximal ‘receiver’ faults in the WQSZ, with a focus on those that exhibit a relatively high reactivation potential, to identify faults that have been promoted to failure. The significance of Coulomb stress changes (ΔCFS) observed on the nearby ‘receiver’ faults varied widely. Among the events analyzed in this study, only the 1935 MW 6.1 Témiscaming earthquake caused extensive positive Coulomb stress change (≥ 0.1 Bar) on its receiver fault. The modelled fault rupture extents suggest a range of earthquake magnitudes of MW 6-7. This work is the first attempt to provide a physical basis for seismic hazard assessment input parameters in the WQSZ based on the results of numerical stress modelling.
A Dynamic Approach to Control for Cohort Differences in Maturation Speed Using Accelerated Longitudinal Designs
Authors: Cáncer Pablo Fernández , Estrada Eduardo , Ferrer Emilio
Published: February 2023

Accelerated longitudinal designs (ALD) allow studying developmental processes usually spanning multiple years in a much shorter time framework by including participants from different age cohorts, which are assumed to share the same population parameters. However, different cohorts may have been exposed to dissimilar contextual factors, resulting in different developmental trajectories. If such differences are not accounted for, the generating process will not be adequately characterized. In this paper, we propose a continuous-time latent change score model as an approach to capture cohort differences affecting the speed of maturation of psychological processes in ALDs. This approach fills an important gap in the literature because, until now, no method existed for this goal. Using a Monte-Carlo simulation study, we show that the proposed model detects cohort differences adequately, regardless of their size in the population. Our proposed model can help developmental researchers control for cohort effects in the context of ALDs. https://doi.org/10.1080/10705511.2022.2163647
Socioeconomic status is unrelated to T1w/T2w myelin content in the Human Connectome Project in Development
Authors: Weissman David G , Baum Graham , Sanders Ashley , Rosen Maya L. , Barch Deanna , McLaughlin Katie A , Somerville Leah
Published: February 2023

Growing evidence indicates that brain development varies as a function of family socioeconomic status (SES). Numerous studies have demonstrated that children from low-SES backgrounds have thinner cortex than children from higher-SES backgrounds. This may reflect exaggerated pruning of underutilized synaptic connections, increases in cortical myelination, or both. A recent study in a large developmental sample found widespread associations between lower SES and greater cortical T1w/T2w ratio thought to be an indirect proxy for cortical myelin. We evaluated the association of SES with cortical T1w/T2w ratio as a function of age in the Human Connectome Project in Development sample of 989 youth aged 8-21 years. We observed no associations between SES and T1w/T2w myelin that were significant after corrections for multiple comparisons at the region, network, or whole-brain level. We discuss some potential methodological sources of inconsistency between this and the previous study examining the same question. While the question of whether SES may influence cortical myelin development remains, these null results—when considered alongside frequently observed associations between SES and cortical thickness—may indicate that the association between SES and cortical development is characterized more by increased pruning of underutilized synaptic connections than by differences in cortical myelination.
Honest behavior: Truth-seeking, belief-speaking, and fostering understanding of the truth in others
Authors: Cooper Binyamin , Cohen Taya R. , Huppert Elizabeth , Levine Emma , Fleeson William
Published: February 2023

While people across the world value honesty, it is undeniable that it can sometimes pay to be dishonest. This tension leads people to engage in complex behaviors that stretch the boundaries of honesty. Such behaviors include strategically avoiding information, dodging questions, omitting information, and making true but misleading statements. Though not lies per se, these are nonetheless deviations from honesty that have serious interpersonal, organizational, and societal costs. Based on a systematic review of 169 empirical research articles in the fields of management, organizational behavior, applied psychology, and business ethics, we develop a new multidimensional framework of honesty that highlights how honesty encompasses more than the absence of lies—it has relational elements (e.g., fostering an accurate understanding in others through what we disclose and how we communicate) and intellectual elements (e.g., evaluating information for accuracy, searching for accurate information, and updating our beliefs accordingly). By acknowledging that honesty is not limited to the moment when a person utters a clear lie or a full truth, and that there are multiple stages to enacting honesty, we emphasize the shared responsibility that all parties involved in communication have for seeking out and communicating truthful information.

Published: February 2023

Wisdom is a constellation of socio-emotional skills and of recent interest as a potential tool in mitigating loneliness and its negative effects. We examined the relationship between loneliness and wisdom in 159 neurologically healthy community-dwelling older adults from the Hillblom Aging Network (pre-registered at https://osf.io/2jmfz), hypothesizing that wisdom is inversely associated with loneliness. Given a potential association between loneliness and neurodegeneration, we verified our cohort as neurologically normal via neurological and neuropsychological evaluation to avoid introducing a spurious relationship between loneliness and wisdom. We additionally tested if normal variation in cognition affects the relationship between loneliness and wisdom. We compared three nested regression models to assess model effects of covarying for executive function, predicting loneliness from wisdom. We also explored correlations between each of the six subscale domains of wisdom (decisiveness, emotional regulation, insight, prosocial behaviors, social advising, and tolerance for divergent values) and loneliness. Loneliness was inversely associated with wisdom in a model including executive function as a covariate (also inversely associated with loneliness). Wisdom subcomponents decisiveness, emotional regulation, social advising, and prosocial behaviors were inversely correlated with loneliness. While causality cannot be determined in this study, our results suggest that wisdom may be a protective factor in mitigating loneliness.
Flood Susceptibility Analysis in West Rapti River Basin Using Frequency Ratio Model
Authors: Bhattarai Tek Narayan , Ghimire Swastik
Published: February 2023

Floods are recognized as lethal natural events, which result in devastating natural and human losses. So, identifying flood susceptible zones is crucial to adopt necessary mitigation strategies beforehand. With the advent of GIS tools and modelling techniques, mapping of such zones has become easier and more precise; yet, flood prone countries like Nepal have not been able to embrace such tools for flood risk management. With a compelling need to address this situation, this paper employs Frequency Ratio model to analyze flood susceptibility in the West Rapti River Basin. The model, created with the help of 77 flood points and tested with 30 points to obtain 80.7% accuracy, maps the flood hazard zones in the area and identifies the lower Terai and settlement regions as high-risk areas. With the increasing threat of changing climate in the future, this study also propounds better preparation of flood inventory maps in the future for more precise susceptibility analysis models and better flood risk management.

Indian willow (Salix tetrasperma) is an agriculturally useful tree which occurs over a wide geographic area across South Asia and bears importance. So far, this species has never been studied for molecular genetic diversity. The present study was, therefore, carried out to assess the genetic diversity and population structure analysis using RAPD and ISSR molecular markers in diverse genotypes from five populations covering North India. The mean number of effective alleles, Shannon information index and gene diversity i.e., 1.38 ± 0.013, 0.35 ± 0.010 and 0.23 ± 0.007, respectively were obtained with RAPD + ISSR markers. The analysis of molecular variance generated by RAPD + ISSR revealed a higher genetic variation (87%) within population as compared to that of among population (13%). Nei genetic distance was maximum (0.185) between Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab populations. Significant Mantel correlation (r=0.551,) was obtained between RAPD and ISSR markers. Bayesian clustering pattern obtained through STRUCTURE software showed four gene pools. Based on the genetic information obtained with regards to Indian willow by combining the RAPD and ISSR marker systems, it is proposed that an individual tree be selected within populations rather than among populations for the improvement of economic traits of Indian willow alongwith conservation of entire ecological populations.

Published: February 2023

A study on genetic diversity and principal component analysis (PCA) in a set of 90 fertility restorer lines of rice was conducted to identify potential parents for producing high-yielding hybrids. The D2 statistics uncovered the maximum inter-cluster distance between the clusters having different genotypes. The genotypes PS 2, PRR 828, JR-4322-2, and JR-4322-2 belonging to these diversified gene pools may produce heterotic hybrid combinations involving the most suitable parents mentioned above. The PCA reduces dimensional complexity into nine principle axes with PC1 account maximum variable genotypes, namely, JR-1009, ANP-553, JR-1062-1, JR-1103-1, JR-1023-1, JR-1054-4, IR09N 261, JR-1008, NPT-3806, and JR-81. Considering the magnitude of genetic distance, the per cent contribution of traits towards divergence (fertile spikelet/plant and total spikelet/plant) along with the highest cluster means of these traits reflected by the genotypes belonging to clusters, IX and X. The most quality attributes were included in PC4 and PC5 containing genotypes NPT 10, R710, and JR1301. The diversified gene pool and intensive selection designed for varietal development followed by molecular characterization give a precise idea about the upcoming utilization of existing genetic diversity.

Cotton is a major cash crop classified as moderately tolerant to salt stress (threshold ECe = 7.7 dS m-1). In the present study, a set of 21 homozygous advanced breeding lines of cotton (Gossypium herbaceum L.), including one salt tolerant variety G Cot 23 was evaluated over three years to identify stable high yielding genotypes under salt stress. Weighted Average Absolute Scores of BLUPs (WAASB) stability index, which is based on single value decomposition of BLUP, was employed for this purpose. Among the 21 genotypes, CSC-025 and CSC-057 showed the highest boll weight (59.67 and 57.33 g/20 boll), seed cotton yield (1818 and 1570 Kg ha-1) and leaf K/Na ratio (9.6 and 5.6) over the check variety G Cot 23. Considering both WAASB stability index and mean trait values, CSC-025, CSC-057 and G Cot 23 were found promising for all traits and can be considered for deployment in salt-affected Vertisols of India.

Published: February 2023

Yield improvement in wheat through grain number and grain weight has become increasingly difficult in many production environments. Can the non-grain yield parameters of yield like height, flowering and maturity be explored as an alternate for further yield enhancement? This study comprehends such possibilities by analysing performance of the released and pre-released varieties evaluated in ten diverse production environments of India during the period 2000-2021. Regression analysis has highlighted relevance of these three crop expressions in wheat yield and based upon their contribution, selection criteria has been suggested for different production environments of India. Magnitude of impact varied under each environment and their collective contribution was highest in a production environment where growth condition was most favourable for wheat growth i.e., north-western plains. Increase in height and maturity duration coupled with early heading was found useful in this region for both wheat category, i.e., timely-sown and late-sown. These three yield determinants were found highly effective in timely-sown of the adjoining north-eastern plains also but under late-sown condition, prolonged heading was the chief yield predictor. Height for timely-sown and maturity for late-sown condition was most crucial for central India. Delayed heading in timely-sown and late flowering with extra height in late-sown wheat had been tipped for yield improvement in peninsular India. Delayed maturity for timely-sown and height for late-sown wheat had been suggested for productivity enhancement in the northern hills. Besides grain yield, this selection strategy based upon height and crop phenology also enhanced grain weight in certain environments. At a time when selection for grain attributes is not providing further push in productivity enhancement; it would be worth trying to explore these non-grain field indicators as selection strategy for further advancement in productivity of bread wheat.

Published: February 2023

Analysis of heat stress-responsive transcriptome data in wheat genotype Raj 3765 revealed that expression of salt stress root protein (SSRP) RS1 was observed to increase by 8.29 folds in the flag leaf at the grain filling stage. Further validation of the gene under heat stress condition (42oC for 6 hours) by qRT-PCR revealed an increase of 8.42 folds. In-silico studies revealed that the gene is localized mainly in the cytoplasm, and did not contain transmembrane helix. The presence of 15 phosphorylation sites as indicated by in-silico analysis could play significant roles in the heat stress tolerance.

Published: February 2023

Aquilaria malaccensis is one of the economically important tree species distributed in North-east India which produces oleoresinous heartwood known as Agarwood - the most expensive wood in the world. There are limited genomic resources in this species. Therefore, the publicly available whole-genome sequence of Aquilaria agallocha, which is a synonym of A. malaccensis, was utilized for genome-wide mining of Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR) and to develop polymorphic SSR markers. In total 2,53,155 SSRs were identified from the draft genome. Primers were designed for di-nucleotide and tri-nucleotide repeats and screening of 90 such primers have resulted in the identification of 10 polymorphic markers. The present report is the first one for exhaustive identification of SSRs from the draft genome of the species.

Micronuclei (MN) are extra-nuclear bodies containing damaged chromosomal fragments as well as complete chromosomes that are not otherwise incorporated into the nucleus after cell division. The present experiment was conducted to assess mutagenic effects of ethyl methane sulphonate (EMS) on the meiotic behavior of pollen mother cells of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.). Cytological analysis revealed that micronuclei were incited at all the three concentrations of EMS. A peculiar correlation of chromosomal abnormalities, mainly bridge and laggard at anaphase I and II with this nuclear polymorphism were experienced for genomic instability. Pollen viability was additionally inspected through pollen fertility. Thus, the MN formations bring about incomplete elimination of the genome, which can be proficiently use as the light of hope inbreeding programmers to produce addition and substitution lines.

Pearl millet is a climate resilient crop grown by resource poor farmers. Identification of the ideal genotypes for broad and specific adaptation and ideal locations for testing in peninsular India (classified as B-zone) will address the needs of farmers and researchers working in this region. In the present study, performance of eight hybrids and four varieties over seven locations across three rainy seasons (2017-2019) was investigated using GGE biplot analysis. Location attributed higher proportion (59.3–89.9%) of the variation for eight traits, while genotype and genotype×environment interaction accounted for 57 to 65% of total variability for grain and dry fodder yields. The hybrids 86M86, KSB and NBH5061 are identified as ideal genotypes for cultivation across B-zone. Majority of the testing locations were highly correlated with Vijayapura, which is most discriminative and representative location. ‘Which-won where’ study partitioned the testing locations into two mega-environments: first with four locations with 86M01 as winning genotype and second encompassed three locations with KSB as the winning genotype. The Vijayapura, Ananthapuram and Dhule locations were identified for initial testing of genotypes. Hybrid advantage over varieties for grain and fodder yields was clearly observed from the study.

Introduction: Parents with heterozygous sickle cell status [haemoglobin AS (HbAS) or sickle cell trait (SCT)] may produce sickle cell anaemia (SCA) patients. Proper diagnosis and correct reporting of sickle cell status is, therefore, necessary to guide genetic counselling of prospective partners/parents. However, misreporting of SCD status is common in adult population leading to increase disease incidence. Self-reported sickle cell status may be validated by comparing the reports with more reliable and more sensitive diagnostic methods such as high-performance lipid chromatography (HPLC) if not genetic studies. Aims/Objectives: To determine the accuracy of self-reported parental genotype status by comparing self-reported and HPLC-determined genotypes. Methodology: This was a hospital-based, cross-sectional analytical study. Participants were consecutively enrolled at clinic visits, socio-demographic as well as self-reported SCD status were obtained and documented in a pre-tested questionnaire, HPLC analysis of SCD status was conducted and documented. Data was anlyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS Version 21). Result: The post-marital reports were more sensitive, more accurate and had higher positive predictive value (all 100%) than the premarital reports. The premarital reports were more specific than sensitive and correctly predicted the truly positive (AS/AS) more than the truly negative (AA/AS, AA/AA) couples. The premarital reports were less accurate than the post marital reports. Conclusions: Post marital self-reports are more accurate than premarital reports. Knowledge of personal sickle cell status seems marred by poor access to proper diagnostic tools. HPLC is useful for ambiguous reports.
The Impact Of The Structure Of Government Spending On Economic Growth In The Regions Of Russian Federation
Authors: Vasilieva Rogneda
Published: February 2023

The purpose of the article is to assess the impact of the structure of government spending on economic growth in the regions of Russia. The growth rate of the gross regional product (GRP) in real terms is used as an indicator of economic growth. For econometric modeling, the group average method is used. Although in general the issue of the impact of certain categories of public spending remains debatable, empirical results show that government spending on health care and sports are the long-term drivers of economic growth in the regions. Meanwhile, for regions with GRP per capita lower than average, spending on education and the media has a noticeable and positive effect. On the basis of the results obtained, practical recommendations for improving the regional policy are formulated.

Portal cranes are widely used to perform transshipment operations in sea and river areas. Since they are the main link in the technological process, so the performance of Port lines directly depends on their reliable and continuous operation. However, today in the river and sea ports of Ukraine, more than 88% of cranes have fulfilled the standard service life and continue to be operated. Since overtime and long-term operation of metal structures of overhead cranes in the mode of intensive cyclic loading leads to the formation of fatigue defects and subsequent failure of components and accidents. Therefore, ensuring safe and reliable operation is one of the main tasks in the design, modernization and operation of cranes. The analysis of works on the reliability of complex technical systems indicates that the issue of reliability of gantry crane mechanisms, which have been soldered for more than 35 years in seaports, is not sufficiently studied. The purpose of the work is: analysis of failures of mechanisms that occur during the operation of gantry cranes with overtime service life, based on the obtained data, failure and recovery coefficients are calculated.. Operating time affects the mechanical characteristics of materials ambiguously. The aim of the study is to analyze the failure statistics of gantry crane mechanisms with overtime periods to determine, determine the failure and recovery rates. The 30 identical Albatross cranes with a lifting capacity of 16 tons were selected for research, which operate in Grab mode and operate in seaports. Cranes are divided into 3 groups by year of production.. The average annual capacity of cranes was 520 thousand tons, according to the warehouse-ship option. From the obtained data, the largest number of failures is observed in the lifting and turning mechanisms, the smallest – in the load lifting mechanism. Thus, the analysis of the results obtained showed that the largest number of failures is observed in the mechanisms of lifting and turning, the smallest – in the mechanisms of lifting the load and moving the crane.

Published: February 2023

The planting machines of the manufactured potato planters are mostly not in fully comply with agrotechnical requirements. Based on the analysis modern designs of planting machines, a conclusion was made about the advantages and shortcomings of existing designs of potato planters. The big disadvantage that especially affects crop yields, is low uniformity distribution of potato tubers along the length of the row, as well as the depth of planting. Wherein deterioration in the distribution of potato tubers occurs mainly at the time ejection of potatoes to the bottom of the furrow due to the rolling of tubers along its bottom. Big impact on fit quality potatoes by mechanization provides uniform distribution potatoes along the bottom of the furrow. Sustainable disallocation of tubers when planting existing significantly affects the crop yield, because in this case, the feeding area is formed niya for growing potatoes. Compliance even distribution of seed material is a priority when designing planters. Modern planting machines are far from being fully compatible with imposed agrotechnical requirements for the distribution of planting material. Analyzing the technological processes of potato planters, it can be argued that the spoon-conveyor planter in comparison with the revolving planter provides less injury to potato tubers because contact occurs at the time of laying the tubers on spoons and when falling to the bottom of the hole . Whereas in the revolver the height and rate of fall are higher. The analysis of dependence showed that with increasing the speed of the potato planter to 6.2 m / s injury of tubers increases from 15 to 31%. The study shows that when changing the speed of the conveyor from 0.4 to 1.8 m / s there is an increase in the gaps of tubers in the furrow (up to 3%; 2.4%; 2.2% at a step of 0.25 m; 0, 32 m and 0.4 m), ie. spoons cease to capture them steadily from the bucket.
