headland automatics, automated turn-around process Explanation: 'Päiste' (headland) is an area at the end of (a strip of) the field, required for the turn-around of the cultivation machines. 'Päisteautomatiikka' referes to some automatic process that takes place at the headland, and they can be very different, depending on what kind of cultivation is going on. Direct translation could be 'headland automatics' another possibility might be 'automated turn-around process" |

automation of headland driving Explanation: päiste is headland would there be any other relevant information available, please In agriculture, a headland is the area at each end of a planted field. It is used for turning around with farm implements during field operations and is the first area to be harvested to minimize crop damage. The rows run perpendicular to the lay of the field and are usually two, three or four times the width of the implement used for planting the field. The soil on headlands is subject to greater levels of soil compaction because it receives more traffic per unit of area than the field as a whole. Yields are generally lower than in the field itself due to additional implement traffic and crop damage from implements turning on them as well as compaction. Soil fertility levels are frequently higher than in the main part of the field due to overlapping applications of fertilizer coupled with reduced yields. In some areas of the US, this area is known as the turnrow. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days11 mins (2010-11-04 13:15:29 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Thank you Spencer Example sentence(s):
