Bespoke Precision Agriculture for Small‐Scale Farming in Sub‐Saharan Africa: Defining Potential Benefits and Pathways

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Precision agriculture (PA) holds enormous potential for smallholder farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA), where agriculture remains central to economic development, employing more than half of the adult population and contributing significantly to GDP. However, adoption rates remain low.

Changes of Soil Water and Heat Transport and Yield of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) in Greenhouses with Micro-Sprinkler Irrigation under Plastic Film

Agronomy, 2022
This study aimed to expound the changes in soil water flow, heat transport, and tomato production under micro-sprinkler irrigation and plastic film (MSPF) conditions. The effects of different irrigation amounts (I1:0.7 Epan; I2:1.0 Epan; and I3:1.2 Epan (Epan is the cumulative evaporation from a 20 cm diameter standard pan, mm)) on soil water, soil ...

Impacts of 4R nitrogen management on soil health and residual soil nitrate across annual and perennial cropping systems

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Nitrogen (N) is one of the most important and expensive inputs for crop production. Inefficient N management reduces profitability and contributes to nitrate (NO3−) accumulation in groundwater, posing risks to environmental quality. The 4R nutrient stewardship framework aims to optimize fertilizer management by applying four components: right ...
