1. Farmers’ Perception and Willingness to Adopt Drone Technology in AgricultureThe application of drones, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), in agriculture has led to a paradigm shift in farming practices by reducing production costs and increasing operational efficiency and profitability. However, there is a lack of empirical reports on the efficiency and profitability of UAV application to agriculture in Nigeria, limiting the contribution of Nigerian agriculture to the global scientific discourse on drone technology and advancement. This study investigates farmers’... F.J. Adekoya, S.O. Jimoh, O.A. Ogunsola, T.A. Azeez, R.O. Aminu |
2. A Synopsis of Water and Nutrient Requirements of Hass Avocado for Uganda and Sub-saharan Africa PractitionersHass avocado production is increasing in Uganda and sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) to tap into the lucrative market especially in Western Europe, China, Japan, and Russia. However, there is limited information about its water and nutrient requirements in end-user-friendly formats especially in Uganda and SSA. We consolidated the scanty information about water and nutrient requirements of Hass avocado and made necessary recalculations and unit conversions to aid meaningful uptake of the information by...

3. The Role of Smart-Advisory Services in Climate-resilient AgricultureCrop management is strongly influenced by changes in weather and climate, therefore strengthening resilience and environmental sustainability will require robust advisory services that can support farmers’ decisions. Crop production adaptations to weather, climate variability, and change will need combined efforts from farmers, academia, industry, and government to co-develop solutions, train future workforce not only to advise the farming community but also develop solutions and also enable...
