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

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 75, Issue 1, Page 173-187, February 2026.
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 ...

Building Off‐Paddock Infrastructure: Insights, Decisions and Lessons Learnt from Southern New Zealand Dairy Farmers

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
Many regions across New Zealand experience cold, wet winters with low pasture growth. Consequently, farmers often rely on winter forage crops to feed cows, resulting in challenges with animal welfare, environmental damage and operational difficulties. Despite the potential of off‐paddock facilities to overcome negative outcomes of crop wintering, only ...

Effectiveness of Facilitated Wetlands for Treating Agricultural Runoff in South Otago, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
Facilitated wetlands are promoted as a mitigation tool in agricultural landscapes because of their potential to attenuate contaminant losses while increasing biodiversity. Here, we investigate the contaminant removal efficiency of two facilitated wetlands established on a dairy farm and a sheep and beef farm.

Economic analysis of using exclusion netting for spotted‐wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) management in organic blueberry production systems

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1302-1318, February 2026.
This study compares the economic performance of exclusion netting and organic pesticides for managing spotted wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii). Results highlight the trade‐offs in revenue and cost, providing insights into sustainable pest management strategies that balance economic viability and effectiveness for small fruit growers.

Labour Dynamics, Factor Substitution and Capital Adoption in Sub‐Saharan African Agriculture

Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 77, Issue 1, Page 183-204, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Ongoing structural transformations in many Sub‐Saharan African (SSA) economies are driving changes in labour inputs and wages, likely influencing smallholder agriculture and the direction of agricultural intensification processes. At the same time, the adoption of capital‐intensive technologies still remains puzzlingly low.
