1. EFFECT OF INTERCROPPING SORGHUM WITH COWPEA AND NITROGEN APPLICATION ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF SORGHUM (Sorghum bicolor (L.) MOENCH)

Despite the development of improved varieties, the yield of sorghum has remained significantly low in dryland environments due to low soil fertility and inappropriate cropping practices. However, implementation of precision agriculture (PA) within the context of companion cropping with legumes and fine-tuning the supply of fertilizer nitrogen (N) has the potential to increase sorghum yield in these environments. Nonetheless, the effect sorghum-cowpea compatibility, fertilizer N use and their interaction... P.E. Moi , O.M. Kitonyo, G.N. Chemining’wa, J.M. Kinama

2. Effect of Plant Population and Nitrogen Rate on Growth and Yield of Two Pre-release rice varieties in Kenya

The application of precision agriculture (PA) through the optimization of plant population and management of fertilizer nitrogen (N) can increase rice yield. Current rice (Oryza sativa) plant population and fertilizer nitrogen (N) management guidelines in  Kenya were developed from research conducted about three decades. These management guidelines might still be robust and could be applied to recently released as well as close-to- release varieties. However, the yield potential of... W. Kioko, W. Kioko, W. Kioko, W.

3. A review on Sensor based robotics agriculture: Improving traditional Agriculture Practices

Agribot could be a mechanism designed to reduce the labor of farmers by increasing the speed and accuracy of the work. Elementary functions concerned in farming i.e. plowing the sphere, sowing of seeds and covering the seeds with soil. Agribot is associate degree autonomous mechanism that provides the power for choices for offered techniques. Fruit Picker robots, autonomous tractor sprayers, this... S.C. Karad, G.U. Shinde, P.

4. Monitoring Corn (Zea mays) Yield using Sentinel-2 and Machine Learning for Precision Agriculture Applications

Currently, there is a growing demand to apply precision agriculture (PA) management practices at agricultural fields expecting more efficient and more profitable management. One of PA principal components for site-specific management is crop yield monitoring which varies temporally between seasons and spatially within-field. In this study, we investigated the possibility of monitoring within-field variability of corn grain yield in a 22ha field located in Ferarra, North Italy. Archived yield data... A. Kayad, M.
