1. 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 |
2. Decision Support System for Precision Agriculture management Case study : El Salihiya –east Nile delta, Egypt.Soil is a complex mixture of living organisms and organic material, along with soil minerals. the main objective of this work is develop a new methods to improve the agricultural management .The current study relies on developing a decision-making model for agricultural operations to manage potato crops in the El Salihiya area using field data,laboratory analysis and field sensor measurements. The precision agriculture decision support system entitled (EGYPADS) was designed and developed... A. Belal , S. abd el-kader, B. Mamdouh , M. A el-shirbeny, M. abdellatif1, M. Jalhoum , M.

3. Changes in climatic factors lead to the change in cultural wedging of rice in the Ivorian pre-forest zoneClimate change in the pre-forest zone of Cote d'Ivoire has led to a mismatch between cropping periods and new seasons, challenging the sowing periods usually recommended for rainfed rice cultivation in this area. Our study aims to determine the optimal sowing period for two rainfed rice varieties cultivated in this pre-forest zone of the country. The agroclimatic analysis carried out over the period 1980-2017 allowed to determine the optimal dates for sowing rice,... C. Brou |
4. Public Financing in Agricultural Research Development and Rural Poverty Alleviation: Evidence from West African Economic and Monetary Union StatesThe paper examines the effects of public financing for agricultural research and development on rural poverty based on the variable farm income in the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) States. To conduct this analysis, a dynamic panel comprising seven (07) WAEMU States has been built based on secondary data from World Bank, African Development Bank (AfDB) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) databases for the period 2000 to 2016. To correct the endogeneity generated by... O. Dah, T. Bassolet |
5. How 20 Years of Precision Agriculture Experience Can Benefit Small LandholdersMost people think only larger farms can benefit from incorporating precision agriculture technologies, when the bigger impact happens with smaller farms. A ten percent increase in crop yield is much more impactful for small land holders for various reasons based upon 20 years’ experience, research, and personal utilization. Incorporating remote sensing, drones, small autonomous robots, and other technologies and practices can help small holders increase yield, crop quality, and free up labor... R. Blair |
6. Smart or Precision Agriculture Technology to Mitigate Climate Change for Sustainable Agriculture DevelopmentAgriculture is one of the economic sectors that affect climate change contributing to Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions directly and indirectly.The main goal of the Precision Agriculture (PA) or Smart Agriculture (SA), hypothesize that the increase in crop production and hence food security can be achieved by enhancing the productivity and efficiency of the presently cultivated soils and reclamation of new lands for crop production. Agriculture remains to be one of Egypt’s most important sectors... A. Belal |
