1. FARMER CHARLIE: PRECISION AGRICULTURE AT SMALLHOLDER FARMERS’ SERVICEPreliminary research and an ongoing project in Nigeria showed that agriculture is a crucial activity in the country. It is mainly carried out in small, family-owned farms: in fact, 88% of Nigeria farmers work on less than 0.5 ha. Lack of resources, of readily available information and the impact of climate on agricultural activities lead to low yields and high-cost farm inputs (FAO, 2020). The availability of agricultural data and weather forecast information could play an essential role in improving... B. Bonnardel, G. Cursoli |
2. Precision Farming Technology to Increase Soil and Crop Productivity in Egypt Using Remote Sensing and GISPrecision farming or site-specific land management is a new approach for development the agriculture processes to increase the soil and crop productivity with saving efforts and costs. Precision farming includes many techniques such as Global Position Systems (GPS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS), Yield Monitors, Internet of Things (IOT), Variable Rate Application (VRA), Yield Mapping, Site-Specific Management Zones (SSMZ) and Crop Modeling. SSMZ delineation can be improved... A. Belal, M. Elsayed , M.E. Jalhoum, M. abdelatif , E. Hendawy , M. Emam, M. Zahran |
3. Precision Agriculture the Key to Increased Productivity for Smallholder FarmersThe aim of this study was to analyze the impact of precision agriculture on the farming operations of smallholder farmers in South-East Nigeria. In general, the system of farming in Nigeria lacks precision especially since it is being practised primarily by smallholder farmers and is mainly determined and analyzed using mundane, redundant, and time-consuming technology. This has resulted in uneven food production potential across the value chains. Agricultural Input waste despite its growing scarcity... T.O. Eni |
