Combined Mechanical–Chemical Weed Control Methods in Post-Emergence Strategy Result in High Weed Control Efficacy in Sugar Beet by Jakob Berg, Helmut Ring, Heinz Bernhardt

“…Against the backdrop of increasing herbicide resistance and societal and political objectives for reducing plant protection products, combinations of mechanical and herbicide weed control methods are gaining importance. In row crops such as sugar beet, the use of mechanical hoeing between crop rows (interrow) combined with band spraying of herbicides within rows (intrarow) can lead to significant herbicide savings compared to standard broadcast herbicide applications. …”

Composition and Injection Rate Co-Optimization Method of Supercritical Multicomponent Thermal Fluid Used for Offshore Heavy Oil Thermal Recovery by Shenyao Yang, Zhilin Qi, Jie Tian, Mingda Dong, Wei Zhang, Wende Yan

“…The results show the following: (1) The higher the mass concentration of organic matter, the higher the content of supercritical carbon dioxide and supercritical nitrogen in thermal fluids, and the lower the content of supercritical water. (2) The higher the temperature and pressure, the higher the thermal fluid yield, and the higher the organic mass concentration, the lower the thermal fluid yield. (3) The component fitting model conforms to the power function relationship, and the coefficient of determination R² is greater than 0.9; the yield fitting model conforms to the modified inverse linear logarithmic function relationship, the determination coefficient R² is greater than 0.8, and the fitting degree is high. (4) The ratio between the actual injection rate of thermal fluids in the mine field and the molecular simulated thermal fluid yield is the ratio of organic matter mass in the platform thermal fluid generator and organic matter mass in the simulated box. (5) Based on the composition and yield control model, combined with the simulation of the ratio relationship between yield and injection rate in the field, a collaborative optimization method of thermal fluid composition and injection rate was established. …”
