  2. Farinograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farinograph

    The farinograph gives bakers a good snapshot of the flour's properties and how the flour will react in different stages of baking, which helps them pick a certain flour for any given purpose. Millers use the Brabender Farinograph to access the properties of the flour, to ascertain whether changes need to be made in the mill.

  3. Chopin alveograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chopin_alveograph

    The Chopin Alveograph is a tool for flour quality measurement. [1] It measures the flexibility of the dough produced from the flour, by inflating a bubble in a thin sheet of the dough until it bursts. The resulting values show the strength of the flour, and thus its suitability for different uses.

  4. Sieve analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_analysis

    A sieve analysis (or gradation test) is a practice or procedure used in geology, civil engineering, [1] and chemical engineering [2] to assess the particle size distribution (also called gradation) of a granular material by allowing the material to pass through a series of sieves of progressively smaller mesh size and weighing the amount of material that is stopped by each sieve as a fraction ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_microbiology

    Conventional farming methods use chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides to safeguard crops from pests and diseases. However, these chemical agents have adverse environmental impacts, contributing to environmental pollution. The use of agricultural chemicals has been linked to the decline of plant and animal species, as well as harm to ...

  6. Soil test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_test

    A soil test is a laboratory or in-situ analysis to determine the chemical, physical or biological characteristics of a soil. Possibly the most widely conducted soil tests are those performed to estimate the plant-available concentrations of nutrients in order to provide fertilizer recommendations in agriculture.

  7. Flour extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flour_extraction

    The extracted endosperm flour came to be known as “white flour” as this element of the wheat kernel is white. This system ingeniously accomplished the extraction of most of the starchy endosperm while separating out virtually all of the bran and germ elements, extracting about 72% of the whole grain kernel.

  8. Rock flour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_flour

    Rock flour, artificial or natural, is a source of plant micronutrients (minerals trace elements) widely used in organic farming practices as a soil conditioner. Synonyms in this case include rock dust , rock powders , rock minerals , and mineral fines .

  9. Geotechnical investigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotechnical_investigation

    A soil sample recovered from a test boring using a split spoon sampler. Borings come in two main varieties: large diameter and small diameter. Large-diameter borings are rarely used because of safety concerns and expense but are sometimes used to allow a geologist or an engineer to visually and manually examine the soil and rock stratigraphy in-situ.
