Advances in Agricultural Engineering

Agricultural engineering is the engineering discipline that studies agricultural production and processing. Agricultural engineering combines the disciplines of mechanical, civil, electrical and chemical engineering principles with a knowledge of agricultural principles according to technological principles. A key goal of this discipline is to improve the efficacy and sustainability of agricultural practices. One of the leading organizations in this industry is the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers.


In the present book, twelve typical literatures about Agricultural Engineering published on international authoritative journals were selected to introduce the worldwide newest progress, which contains reviews or original researches on Agricultural DC load, Hybrid load sharing system, Process control, Land use, Treatment technology, etc. We hope this book can demonstrate advances in agricultural engineering as well as give references to the researchers, students and other related people.

  • Chapter 1
    Engineering solutions for food-energy-water systems: it is more than engineering
  • Chapter 2
    Legal framework for small autonomous agricultural robots
  • Chapter 3
    A prototype of a low-cost solar-grid utility hybrid load sharing system for agricultural DC loads
  • Chapter 4
    Agricultural biogas production in Germany - from practice to microbiology basics
  • Chapter 5
    Co-production of bioethanol and probiotic yeast biomass from agricultural feedstock: application of the rural biorefinery concept
  • Chapter 6
    Evaluating the applicability of MESS (matrix exponential spatial specification) model to assess water quality using GIS technique in agricultural mountain catchment (Western Carpathian)
  • Chapter 7
    A dynamical statistical framework for seasonal streamflow forecasting in an agricultural watershed
  • Chapter 8
    Valorization of Fish Waste Compost as a Fertilizer for Agricultural Use
  • Chapter 9
    The Use of Wood Biomass Ash in Sewage Sludge Treatment in Terms of Its Agricultural Utilization
  • Chapter 10
    A sustainable biorefinery to convert agricultural residues into value-added chemicals
  • Chapter 11
    Hydrothermal gasification of different agricultural wastes in supercritical water media for hydrogen production: a comparative study
  • Chapter 12
    Removal of pathogenic bacteria from sewage-treated effluent and biosolids for agricultural purposes
Readership: Students, academics, teachers and other people attending or interested in agricultural engineering.
