1. Soil Moisture Sensing for Increased Water Use Efficiency and Crop Yields in Furrow Irrigated Systems: a Case of Mubuku Irrigation Scheme in Uganda Water and nutrient use efficiencies remain low in most of the irrigated systems in developing countries, undermining crop productivity in these areas. This is partly due to lack of precise and site-specific information to guide irrigation scheduling. In most cases information on soil properties and crop water requirements is lacking and thus irrigation scheduling is done on rotational basis whether the crop needs water or not. Consequently, the amount of water stored in soil root zone for crop... E. Opolot, D. Besigye, P. Musinguzi, I.N. Alou, T.A. Basamba, G. Olupot
2. A Multi-scale Evaluation of Precision Weed Control Strategies in Corn Fields with Drone Technology Corn (Zea mays L.) is a worldwide priority crop, whose potential yields are closely affected by weed competence, especially in the early stages of crop development. A major concern in corn-growing areas is the occurrence of Sorghum halepense L., as this weed shows reduced sensitivity to pre-emergence herbicides and, therefore, it is necessary to use post-emergence treatments that entail an increase in cost. This research studied the impact of applying a precision weed (S.... J. Peña, A. De castro
