Precision planter monitoring system based on mobile communication network

IET Networks, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Sowing is an important link in agricultural production and the basis for ensuring high yields and bumper harvests. Agriculture requires precision plows with good performance and stable work. However, the seeding process is in a completely closed state, and the operator relies mainly on experience to judge the operating state and performance of

Studies of Plough Design and Ploughing Relevant to Conditions in Northern Europe

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica, Section B — Soil & Plant Science, 2002
Although the development of plough design has been on the agenda for hundreds of years, there is still room for improvements. The present study attempts to give an overview of previous work and to identify the areas having most potential for future improvement.

Optimising Sulphur Fertilisation in Ryegrass–White Clover Swards Reduces Leached Nitrate Nitrogen Losses, While Increasing Plant Yield and Nitrogen Off‐Take

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
The inclusion of sulphur at two inorganic nitrogen rates (0 and 150 kg N ha−1) improves plant productivity in a ryegrass–white clover sward and reduces nitrate‐N loss to groundwater in a free‐draining sandy loam soil. ABSTRACT Background Reducing nitrogen (N) losses to water, lessening reliance on inorganic fertiliser and maintaining agricultural ...

LIFE+IPNOA mobile prototype for the monitoring of soil N2O emissions from arable crops: first-year results on durum wheat

Italian Journal of Agronomy, 2015
Agricultural activities are co-responsible for the emission of the most important greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). Development of methodologies to improve monitoring techniques for N2O are still needful.

Nitrogen Fertilization Temporarily Enhances Phosphatase Activity in a High‐P Loamy Sand

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Efficient plant utilization of soil phosphorus (P) is essential to reduce dependence on mineral P fertilizers in intensive agriculture. Input of mineral nitrogen (N) fertilizers and its chemical form may influence the activity of P mineralizing enzymes, but how this interaction operates under field conditions in a soil with high P ...

Can DNA from wet, temperate soils be used for palaeoecological reconstruction?

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sedimentary ancient DNA in well‐dated contexts (sedaDNA) has great potential as a palaeoecological proxy. A few studies have attempted palaeoecological reconstructions using sedaDNA from soil; these studies have been mainly restricted to cold and/or dry soils.

Integrated characterization of Greek fennel genotypes through morpho‐agronomical characteristics, yield components and phytochemical compounds

JSFA reports, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 91-103, March 2025.
Abstract Background Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) is a widely cultivated vegetable and aromatic‐medicinal plant. In this research, field studies assessed 12 fennel genotypes of diverse origin, comprising 10 Greek accessions and two European commercial varieties, focusing on their morpho‐agronomical traits, phenolic compounds and antioxidant ...

Field trials on grain maize cultivation technologies in 2004, 2005 and 2006

Agronomy Science, 2008
The paper presents the results of field studies that assess the influence of various technologies of maize-for-grain cropstand establishment on not only its yield, but also on labour and fuel consumption, and individual cost components. The field studies

Synergistic effects of maize defoliation and common bean relay cropping in Western Ethiopia

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Maize defoliation is practiced to enhance crop management by improving light penetration, nutrient allocation, controlling weeds, and providing supplementary feeds for livestock. A rapid decline in soil fertility and low crop yields associated with maize‐based monocropping has prompted the recent introduction of maize common bean ...
