1. Delineation of Management Zones of Irrigation Schemes in Nigeria Based on Selected Soil PropertiesEffective field management is required to maximize economic returns and environmental control and soil and crop management. This study was conducted to delineate the management zones (MZ) of Oke-Oyi and Eiyenkorin Irrigation Schemes (EOIS) based on selected soil properties to aid efficient water and fertilizers use and enhance productivity. Soil samples were taken at goe-referenced grid-sampling points. Total soil samples collected for each location at 0 – 20 cm and 20 – 40 cm depths... A.A. Wahab, O.J. Olaniyan, E.H. Ahamefule |
2. Farmers’ Perception and Willingness to Adopt Drone Technology in AgricultureThe application of drones, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), in agriculture has led to a paradigm shift in farming practices by reducing production costs and increasing operational efficiency and profitability. However, there is a lack of empirical reports on the efficiency and profitability of UAV application to agriculture in Nigeria, limiting the contribution of Nigerian agriculture to the global scientific discourse on drone technology and advancement. This study investigates farmers’... F.J. Adekoya, S.O. Jimoh, O.A. Ogunsola, T.A. Azeez, R.O. Aminu |

4. The Role of Smart-Advisory Services in Climate-resilient AgricultureCrop management is strongly influenced by changes in weather and climate, therefore strengthening resilience and environmental sustainability will require robust advisory services that can support farmers’ decisions. Crop production adaptations to weather, climate variability, and change will need combined efforts from farmers, academia, industry, and government to co-develop solutions, train future workforce not only to advise the farming community but also develop solutions and also enable...
