1. Preparation of a precision ripping plan using manual vertical penetrometer measurements Large 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 experiments Long-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 Hungary Currently, 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 Download paper
4. REVISITING INLAND VALLEYS MANAGEMENT STANDARDS IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBAL CHANGE IN WEST AFRICA Considered as main alternative to the crisis of traditional production systems, inland valleys management pains more and more to fill expectations of West African’s farmers due to the inadequacy, in the current context of climate, agrarian and environmental change of the management standards applied to these ecosystems. One consequence of this inadequacy is the inefficient exploitation of the inland valleys with the results being the persistence of the food insecurity, environmental degradation... A. Tidjani, P.

5. Drivers of Post-harvest Aflatoxin Contamination: Evidence Gathered from Knowledge Disparities and Field Surveys of Maize Farmers in the Rift-valley Region of Kenya Maize-dependent populations in sub-Saharan Africa are continually exposed to aflatoxin poisoning owing to their regular consumption of this dietetic cereal. Being a staple in Kenyan households, consumption of maize-based meals is done almost daily, thereby exposing consumers to aflatoxicoses. This study assessed awareness levels, knowledge disparities and perceptions regarding aflatoxin contamination at the post-harvest phase among farmers in the Rift-valley region of Kenya. Households were randomly... G.W. Gachara, R. Lahlali, R. Suleiman, B.M. Kilima Download paper
6. Assessment of Nitrogen and Phosphorus Content (NP) in Citrus Trees Using UAV-imagery Derived Vegetation Indices and Machine Learning Algorithms Monitoring 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.
