| dc.description.abstract | Field practice serves as a pivotal bridge between theoretical knowledge and practical application in various disciplines. Field practice encompasses a spectrum of experiential learning activities conducted outside traditional classroom settings. It offers a hand-on approach to reinforce theoretical concepts, fostering deeper understanding and skill acquisition. Whether in scientific research, social sciences or professional training, field practice plays crucial role in nurturing competent practitioners. The field practice primarily focused on the performance evaluation of drone technology has advanced significantly over the last two decades in terms of flight stability, sensor capability, battery life and price. Because of these improvements, drones are now more widely available and useful for a variety of industries, including agriculture. However, there aren't many reputable studies on RPAS because they are still relatively new and developing technology. Thus, this study was conducted to evaluate the performance of the RPAS' spreading system was evaluated using application rate given its parameters. performance parameters such as output rate, uniformity of distribution and application rate were analyzed. the data were analyzed using ASABE methods of test. Each test had three replicates each at a single flight application of the RPAS to assess the application rate of the rice seeding. The field practice focused second with the performance evaluation of complete rice milling machine for well milled rice. Rice milling is an important part of the Philippine agriculture business considering the country is one of the world's major rice growers and consumers. Rice milling is the process of removing the outer husk, bran and germ from paddy rice to create polished rice that is ready to eat. The average initial weight of the initial paddy was 198.67 kilograms (5 cavans), while the average weight of milled rice produced was 146.5 kg. The rice mill has a computed machine recovery of 73.73%. The proportion of head rice for each 200-gram sample was determined to be 84.72%, whereas the average percentage of broken rice is 16.21%. The study was done on a single rice variety, the IR 58025B (B-LINE). Other activities were carried out throughout the time spent at the facility, the majority of which involved equipment operation and familiarization. machine operation and familiarization are critical for agricultural engineers. Agricultural engineers design, develop and optimize agricultural machinery and equipment. To execute these activities effectively, they must have hands-on experience and a thorough grasp of the machinery thet deal with. Agricultural engineers who become expert machine operators may guarantee that equipement is run efficiently, increasing production and reducing downtime. Machine operation and failiarization are critical for agricultural engineers to improve their technical abilities, make educated equipment decisions, troubleshoot problems, assure safety and communicate effectively with farmers. | |
