1. Preparation of a precision ripping plan using manual vertical penetrometer measurementsLarge 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 experimentsLong-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 HungaryCurrently, 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. Small Machinery for Sustainable Intensification of Crop-Livestock System under Biomass ShortageSmall crop-livestock systems in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC) such as North African ones are characterized by low mechanization levels, thus undermining their productivity and sustainability. Machinery being promoted in local markets are made and imported mostly from industrial countries where farm systems are larger in terms of size. Prices of these machines are not affordable for small to medium sized land-holding farmers who remain incapable of upgrading and modernizing their farming... U. Rudiger, Z. Aidoudi, A. Frija, M. Rekik, A. Zaiem, H. Cheikh |

6. Design and Development of a LoRa Communication System for Scalable Smart Irrigation SystemsSmart irrigation is a promising tool to optimize irrigation water use but is still faced with challenges related to usability and applicability attributed to several constraints such as high initial costs, complex user interface, poor connectivity, limited farm coverage, etc. This study aimed to solve some of these issues through the development and testing of a LoRa communication system using a Raspberry Pi 4, LoRa HAT concentrator, and Strega smart valve at the Makerere University Agricultural...
