An online survey of farmers' perspectives on the adoption of multispecies swards: Barriers, benefits and knowledge gaps

open access: yesGrassland Research, EarlyView.
An Irish farmer survey found that multispecies swards can reduce fertiliser use and enhance drought resilience and biodiversity. While awareness is high, adoption is limited by challenges like weed control and grazing management. Farmers want clearer guidance and prefer learning through hands‐on events like open days and discussion groups.

Prediction of Sow Farrowing Onset Time Using Activity Time Series Extracted by Optical Flow Estimation

open access: yesAnimals
Sow farrowing is a critical stage in pig farming, and predicting its onset can improve sow health and piglet survival. This study proposes a method based on optical flow estimation and time-series forecasting to predict sow farrowing onset.

Concurrent Response of Soybean to Fixed (Full and Limited) and Variable Rate Irrigation Management in Three Soil Types: II. Growth, Yield, Evapotranspiration and Water Productivity

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soybean growth, yield, crop evapotranspiration (ETc) and crop water use efficiency (CWUE or crop water productivity, CWP) under different irrigation levels in three different soil types in the same field were investigated concurrently. Treatments in each soil type were: (i) variable rate irrigation (VRI), (ii) fixed rate full irrigation (FR‐1″)

Pose estimation of sow and piglets during free farrowing using deep learning

open access: yesJournal of Agriculture and Food Research
Automatic and real-time pose estimation is important in monitoring animal behavior, health, and welfare. In this paper, we utilized pose estimation for monitoring the farrowing process to prevent piglet mortality and preserve the health and welfare of ...

Concurrent Response of Soybean to Fixed‐ (Full and Limited) and Variable‐Rate Irrigation Management in Three Soil Types: I. Soil Water Dynamics

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research investigated soybean soil water dynamics under different irrigation levels in three different soil types in the same field concurrently. Treatments imposed in each soil type were: (i) variable‐rate irrigation (VRI), (ii) fixed‐rate full irrigation (FRI‐1″ or FRI‐25.4 mm) and (iii) fixed‐rate limited irrigation (FRI‐0.75″ or FRI ...

Development and Testing of a Low‐Cost Soil Moisture Sensor for Real‐Time Irrigation Scheduling

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Effective irrigation scheduling is essential for improved water management in irrigated areas, with soil moisture monitoring recognized as one of the most effective methods. However, challenges such as the high cost of sensors and the difficulties in monitoring large areas hinder their practical application, particularly for smallholder ...
