1. Determinants of the adoption of an intelligent monitoring system and effects on farms performance in TunisiaConcidering the observation of the rise of Computerized Management Software Packages and intelligent monitoring in a path of modernization of agricultural techniques, we questioned the main factors influencing the decision to adopt management software, farmers’ perception of these management tools and their impact on farm performance. Referring to a theoretical framework focused on innovation and the adoption of technologies in agriculture, we triggered the hypothesis of research... J. Ben nasr, H. Chiboub, M. Msaddak |
2. Analysis, design and development of a web and mobile application for fertilizer olive orchards recommendationsFarmer’s fertilization practices (FFP) in olive intensive or super intensive orchards must be improved to a better control of fertilization costs, to increase olive yielding, to maintain soil fertility and to avoid environment pollution. Indeed, a large category of fertilizer users apply fertilizers arbitrary (66%) without any knowledge about the adequate nutrient requirements of a such planting system. To improve the FFP in intensive and super intensive olive orchards, and in the frame... A. Larbi, H. Boulal, H. El arbi, W. Ben hamouda |
3. Using Decision Support Tool for Site Specific Nutrient Management in Maize Production in Ethiopia: The case of Nutrient ExpertThere are huge variabilities among farmers in terms of crop management practices, soil types and fertility status as well as climatic conditions all of which affects crop fertilizer requirement and yield. Despite these variations, farmers are using blanket/regional fertilizer recommendations, which does not consider the above-mentioned variabilities. As a consequence, farmers are either practicing over fertilization or under fertilization, both of which have undesirable consequences. Therefore,... T. Balemi |
4. Sustainability of Maize Production with Farmers’ Practices and Redesigned Crop Management Practices in CRV and Jimma of EthiopiaMulti-criteria assessment of crop management practices is vital for sustainable crop production and environmental safety. In this study, sustainability of maize production with farmer’s practice (FP), redesigned plant density plus current fertilizer use (RDCF), current plant density plus redesigned fertilizer use (CDRF), and redesigned plant density and redesigned fertilizer use (RDRF) were assessed at farm level based on social, agronomic, economic and environmental principles in Central...
