1. Preparation of a precision ripping plan using manual vertical penetrometer measurementsLarge weight power engines and tools used in agriculture significantly contribute to the formation of compacted and thickening layers starting from the soil surface. There are suitable deep ripping technologies to eliminate harmful soil compaction, which are extremely energy and cost demanding. In precision agriculture, it is possible to treat spatially delimited unfavourable soil patches. The bulk density (g/cm3) of the soil was calculated from the soil resistance and moisture content...

2. A cheap alternative to data management and creating of yield maps of small-plot field experimentsLong-term field trials provide an opportunity to examine the long-term effects of crop production factors and the effect of different crop years can also be analysed. In the long-term field trial, spatial representation of the data belonging to each plot might be necessary for the purpose of soil heterogeneity analysis, working hypothesis, or even presentation. Researchers dealing with long-term field trials usually store the measurement data for a given experiment in Excel or in a database of... P. Ragán, T. Rátonyi, A. Széles, P. Fejér, I. Bácskai, E.

3. Soil mapping with the VERIS U3 soil scanner in a precision farm in HungaryCurrently, field crop production faces constant challenges. Extreme climatic conditions, deteriorating circumstances on the field have a negative impact on the quantity and quality of available yields, and the ever-changing agro-economic environment makes the profitability of the sector uncertain. Precision crop production means site-specific agricultural cultivation tied to geographical coordinates. Modern strip tillage technology based on precision technology for crops with wide row spacing... P. Ragán, E. Harsányi, T. Rátonyi, A. Széles, P. Fejér, I. Bácskai |
4. Nutrient management tailored to smallholder agriculture enhances productivity and sustainabilityPlant nutrition plays a central role in the global challenge to produce sufficient and nutritious food, lessen rural poverty, and reduce the environmental footprint of crop production. Efficient fertilizer use requires tailored solutions that are scientifically sound, practical and scalable especially for smallholder farmers, such as the crop-led site-specific nutrient management (SSNM) approach developed in the 1990s for cereal production systems in Asia to address variability among farms. Originating... P. Chivenge, K. Saito, M. Bunquin, S. Sharma, A. Dobermann |
5. A reinforcement learning based approach for efficient irrigation water managementDue to population growth and the effects of climate change, most of the world's regions are threatened by water scarcity, especially in Africa and the Mediterranean region. In Morocco, agriculture consumes more than 85% of available water. Thus, to preserve water resources, the rational management of irrigation water is necessary. In this context, recent technological progress and the emergence of artificial intelligence could provide an effective decision support tool for the rational and... C. El hachimi, S. Belaqziz, S.

6. Crop monitoring and forecasting system based on cloud data and capabilitiesVarious systems for crop monitoring & forecasting, using satellite images and meteorological data, exist around the world. Their complexity differs from one system to another, according to the temporal and spatial scale and according to the objectives assigned to them. Among the well known are the European Monitoring Agricultural ResourceS system, the USDA system of the Foreign Agricultural Service, the Moroccan CGMS system, the Belgian CGMS system and the Chinese CropWatch system. The... |
7. Assessment of Nitrogen and Phosphorus Content (NP) in Citrus Trees Using UAV-imagery Derived Vegetation Indices and Machine Learning AlgorithmsMonitoring nutrient status of citrus trees is fundamental to ensure optimum fruit yield and quality. However, this task is traditionally time-consuming and laborious. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), with their high temporal and spatial resolution imagery, are demonstrating a great potential to substitute traditional methods in assessing nutrient status of several crops, including citrus. In this study, we evaluated the performance of vegetation indices (VIs) derived from UAV multispectral images... Z. Abail, H. Benaouda, M. Chikhaoui, H. Benyahia, O. Iben halima, M. Baraka, A.

8. Photogrammetrically Assessed Smallholder Pineapple Fields in Ghana Using Small Unmanned Aircraft SystemsUltra-high-resolution imagery taken by small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS, drones) has been proven beneficial for the monitoring of agricultural crops in conventional farming especially in the context of precision farming. For smallholder pineapple cultivation, the use of sUAS imagery is still sparsely evaluated. However, technical developments in low cost sUAS-sensor combinations make assessments of agricultural areas by service providers more and more affordable for Africa. In this study,... M. Hobart, E.

10. Design and Development of a LoRa Communication System for Scalable Smart Irrigation SystemsSmart irrigation is a promising tool to optimize irrigation water use but is still faced with challenges related to usability and applicability attributed to several constraints such as high initial costs, complex user interface, poor connectivity, limited farm coverage, etc. This study aimed to solve some of these issues through the development and testing of a LoRa communication system using a Raspberry Pi 4, LoRa HAT concentrator, and Strega smart valve at the Makerere University Agricultural...
