Examining the Impact of Row Planting on Labor Use for Sustainable Food Production Among Maize Farmers in Rural Ghana

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smallholder farmers are reverting to traditional production methods due to the high opportunity costs and unintended consequences of new technologies. This study focuses on row planting technology, which is labor‐intensive and slow without mechanized operations.

Determinants of Knowledge and Usage of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Agricultural Extension: Evidence From Tennessee Extension Personnel

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the determinants of generative AI (GenAI) knowledge and usage among agricultural extension professionals. Drawing on survey data from agricultural extension personnel in Tennessee, we employ regression analyses and latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) for topic modeling of open‐ended responses to study the knowledge and usage ...

System Identification of Linearized Rice Growth Dynamic for Precision Irrigation

Proceedings, 2019
Modeling crop growth dynamics has been used to predict and analyze the effects of water stress on crop yields for different irrigation managements. In particular, rice, a water intensive crop, has been extensively modeled using simulation software such ...

Drones in Precision Irrigation Applications

, 2018
The paper presents how the drones will be deployed in SWAMP pilots and future precision agriculture. We present our vision of drones as autonomous sensor and communication platforms that execute multi-purpose missions in farms. Drones carrying mobile gateways can provide communication services for very low cost short-range radio equipped sensors ...

Consumers' Willingness to Pay a Premium for Climate‐Friendly Food Production: The Role of Production Method Information and Social Norms

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines whether information about production methods and social norms can increase consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) a price premium for food produced using climate‐friendly farming methods. A randomized survey experiment was conducted with 1568 respondents across Denmark, Lithuania, and Spain, who were assigned to one of four ...

Promoting precision surface irrigation through hydrodynamic modelling and microtopographic survey

Agricultural Water Management
Precision irrigation aims to deliver water and nutrients to crops at exactly the right time, in the right place and in the right amount. While surface irrigation is often perceived as less precise, accurate water distribution, wise use of resources and ...

Is Precision Agriculture Technology Adoption Persistently Overestimated?

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Precision agriculture is sometimes assumed to diffuse steadily over time, and industry planning frequently extrapolates early adoption trends forward. This study evaluates the accuracy of such expectations by comparing agricultural input dealers' forecasts of future service offerings with the actual levels of offerings that dealerships ...

Lost ground, lost value: Investigating the relationship between soil erosion and agricultural land value

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the impact of soil erosion on agricultural land values in the United States (US) Midwest. Based on a novel county‐level panel data set with information on soil erosion levels and agricultural land values covering five census years (1997, 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017), we separately investigate the direct effect of two types ...

A Shift From Environment‐ to Plant‐Based Irrigation: Wearable Sensors Enabling Next‐Generation Feedback Control

Food and Energy Security
Global water scarcity demands a shift in environment‐based agricultural irrigation toward plant‐based irrigation approaches. Traditional irrigation methods, which rely on fixed schedules or environmental proxies, are inherently inefficient and often lead
