Deep bed farming with maize–soybean intercropping improves maize yield and soil fertility in northern Malawi

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract In sub‐Saharan Africa smallholder farmers face challenges of declining soil fertility, erratic rainfall, low crop yields, and food insecurity. Deep bed farming (DBF), a conservation agriculture‐based approach promoted by Tiyeni in Malawi, shows potential to address these issues.

Design and Experiment of Intelligent Mechanical Weeding System Based on DEM–MBD Coupling

open access: yesAgriculture
Weed control is crucial for safeguarding the yield and quality of fresh maize. To achieve comprehensive, low-damage removal of weeds in fresh maize fields, an intelligent mechanical weeding system was developed. Based on the spatial distribution of maize

Genetic variability and character association of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) for yield and yield component traits at Wolaita, southern region of Ethiopia

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Genetic variability plays a crucial role in plant breeding programs aimed at improving yield and yield‐related traits. The objective of this study was to assess the genetic variability and character association among common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes for yield and related agronomic traits.

Design and Experiment of Autonomous Shield-Cutting End-Effector for Dual-Zone Maize Field Weeding

open access: yesAgriculture
This study presented an autonomous shield-cutting end-effector for maize surrounding weeding (SEMSW), addressing the challenges of the low weed removal rate (WRR) and high seedling damage rate (SDR) in northern China’s 3–5 leaf stage maize.

Intra-row weeds surviving inter-row cultivation in organic spring cereals - do they harm the crop and how can they be suppressed? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
New camera technology capable of detecting crop rows makes it possible to employ selective weed control in cereals. Normally cereals are grown at 12.5 cm row spacing in Northern Europe but even a moderate extension of the row spacing can make enough room
