“…The bulk density is defined as the ratio of the total weight of the sample to the total volume of the sample. The bulk density of garlic clove was determined by filling a 250 ml test tube with the garlic cloves at a constant rate and then weighing the cloves [3,8] and calculated by using following formula;…”

Garlic, a globally cherished spice from the Allium Sativum L. family, holds immense importance in Indian agriculture as the second-largest producer worldwide. With India contributing 10.4% to the global garlic production, totaling 3.27 million metric tons in 2022, the physical properties of garlic become integral in engineering design. This research navigates through experiments on garlic clove bulk density, considering moisture levels, and explores the mechanical aspects affecting agricultural and machinery applications. Moisture content considerations for storage, odor/flavor impact, and even the friction coefficient concerning bulb size underscore the complexity of garlic's engineering dynamics. By unraveling these properties, this study aims to fuel advancements in cultivation practices, machinery design, and processing technologies, enhancing efficiency and product quality in the agricultural and food engineering sectors.

“…The UB produced by any of the melt-type granulation methods is nearly spherical, though size and weight may vary. Briquettes are pillow-shaped, oblong, or oblate in shape, with broken edges from webbing, and are quite homogeneous in size and weight (Manikyam et al, 2020). Use of urea briquette along with deep placement with the help of application was found to record the lowest nitrous emission, highest yield, as well as low level of volatilization (Chatterjee et al, 2018).…”

Nitrogen (N) is the most essential nutrient for plants because of its value as a growth and yield determinant nutrient. Significant, and rapid increase in N application rates have occurred, but often at the expense of poor usage performance. The study enlights the causes of nitrogen loss in the environment, the need for its management and ways for precision management. Researches reveal only 50% of the applied fertilizer is uptake by the plants and the remaining is lost in the form of different pathways like denitrification, leaching, and volatilization that is very harmful for the biodiversity. Nitrogen management necessitates extra caution in its application in order to avoid major losses and optimize performance. Precision nitrogen management has been found especially useful to achieve the goals of improved productivity and higher nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). Leaf color charts, sensor based green seeker and chlorophyll meter like decisions tools in precision nitrogen management help in assisting the prediction of the need for N in the crops leading to higher nitrogen use efficiency without any reduction of yield. On the other hand, the use of urea briquettes deep placement supplements the nitrogen management techniques for higher NUE and crop productivity as well as sustain agriculture by avoiding the leakage of nitrogen to the environment thereby reducing the pollution. Hence, the synchronization between crop demand and nitrogen supply using the tools helps to minimize nitrogen losses, maximize nitrogen use efficiency and increase productivity.
