Investigating Cumin Uprooting Dynamics: The Roles of Taproot Properties and Soil Resistance

Cumin (<i>Cuminum cyminum</i> L. cv.′Xin Ziran 1′), classified within an agricultural crop, necessitates uprooting as a critical harvesting process. In this paper, we tried to study the force dynamics behind direct cumin uprooting by developing mechanical models for field uprooting and t...
