1. Decision Support System for Precision Agriculture management Case study : El Salihiya –east Nile delta, Egypt.Soil is a complex mixture of living organisms and organic material, along with soil minerals. the main objective of this work is develop a new methods to improve the agricultural management .The current study relies on developing a decision-making model for agricultural operations to manage potato crops in the El Salihiya area using field data,laboratory analysis and field sensor measurements. The precision agriculture decision support system entitled (EGYPADS) was designed and developed... A. Belal , S. abd el-kader, B. Mamdouh , M. A el-shirbeny, M. abdellatif1, M. Jalhoum , M.

2. Irrigation Water Management for Potato crop under Pivot Irrigation System using Remote sensing techniquesWhen water application records low efficiency, the water losses increased. Irrigation systems often ignore soil variability and water applied uniformly on the field; hence, the water losses amplified. Which means more water application, more energy demand, and more money expenses. El-Salhia region contains a big agricultural farm located at the South Eastern of Nile delta. The field NO 34 was chosen to be investigated under the pivot central sprinkler irrigation system which cultivated with... |
3. On-farm experimentation. A major role for precision agriculture in African agricultureIs precision agriculture relevant to African Ag? Most people envision fancy technology when they consider precision agriculture (PA). Indeed, over the past 30 years or more PA has introduced a range of exciting technologies to agriculture. But the real change is not the technology itself, but the new ways technology enables farmers to manage complex and uncertain systems. This message dates back to the early days of PA but has been superseded by technological prowess and needs to be... S. Cook |
4. The Value and Potential of On-Farm Experimentation to Catalyze Agricultural TransformationOn-farm experimentation (OFE), which inculcates farmers’ agency in knowledge discovery, has the potential to support and accelerate transformative agronomy at scale. The OFE process within the Nutrient-Catalyzed Agricultural Transformation in Africa (NUTCAT) project, encompasses farmer engagements, set-up of simple, easy-to-understand treatment designs, and contextual analysis of the data to enhance the relevance of the results to farmers. Ultimately, it is envisaged that this process will... I. Adolwa, J. Muthamia, C. Lutomia, , S. Cook |
