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

4. Acceptance and Usage of Agri-tech in smallholder Chinese systems: Lesson learnt and implications for other small-holder farming systems.

This paper will present a synthesis of activities performed in a collaborative UK-China project (PAFiC - 2015-2019) aimed at achieving a better understanding of the translation of precision agriculture (PA) technologies into small farms in China. The intent is to outline the farmer-focused approach that was used in the PAFiC project and the tools developed to understand PA adoption trends in China. Finally, we consider the potential implications of the outputs from PAFiC for promoting... J. Taylor

5. Some essential nutrients, active limestone and pH status of north and center Tunisian soils.

     Tunisia is a North African country characterized by a Mediterranean climate in the north and Saharan climate in the south part of the country, which resulted in a high geo-morphological diversity of its soils. The last are known by their various fertility status that is affected by abiotic constrains such as salinity, drought, erosion and low organic matter concentration. Thereby, soil fertility is largely linked to geographical position, making fertilization recommendation... A. Hachana, I. Hemissi, I. Achour, A. Souissi, B. Sifi

6. Modelling Fertigation and Micro-Climate Parameters for Greenhouse Tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum L.)

Amidst the hiking price of fertilizer and projected water scarcity across the world, it is imperative to explore the interaction between fertilizer, irrigation and genotype notwithstanding the micro-climate parameters so as to maximize yield while protecting the environment. The Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) is a model which employs all these input factors to help predict yield and thereby make an informed decision.  The study sort to calibrate and validate the...

7. Potato Yield Prediction Using Multi-temporal Sentinel-2 Data and Multiple Linear Regression

Traditional potato growth models have a number of flaws, i.e., the cost of data collection, quality of input data, and the absence of spatial information in some cases. To address these challenges, we created a multiple linear regression model (MLRM) that uses the multi-temporal Sentinel-2 derived indices to predict potato yield. Along the growing season (from October 2019 to February 2020) eight Sentinel-2 imageries were collected, afterwards, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI)... M.E.
