1. MARKET ACCEPTANCE AND WILLINGNESS TO PAY FOR DRONE TECHNOLOGY IN THE APPLICATION OF PESTICIDE FOR THE CONTROL OF FALL ARMYWORM

In Ghana, maize is one of the major staple food crops. Since 2016, it has been plagued by fall armyworm, leaving production capacity below the national average. The introduction of drone technology was to assist farmers to reduce havoc caused by the fall armyworm. The majority of research done in the area of drone technology has focused on the technical and mechanical aspects. This gap gives rise to this study, as the study seeks to; find out the socioeconomic characteristics of maize farmers... S. Omega

2. A review on Sensor based robotics agriculture: Improving traditional Agriculture Practices

Agribot could be a mechanism designed to reduce the labor of farmers by increasing the speed and accuracy of the work. Elementary functions concerned in farming i.e. plowing the sphere, sowing of seeds and covering the seeds with soil. Agribot is associate degree autonomous mechanism that provides the power for choices for offered techniques. Fruit Picker robots, autonomous tractor&nb... S.C. Karad, G.U. Shinde, P. Kumar

3. Small Machinery for Sustainable Intensification of Crop-Livestock System under Biomass Shortage

Small crop-livestock systems in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC) such as North African ones are characterized by low mechanization levels, thus undermining their productivity and sustainability. Machinery being promoted in local markets are made and imported mostly from industrial countries where farm systems are larger in terms of size. Prices of these machines are not affordable for small to medium sized land-holding farmers who remain incapable of upgrading and modernizing their far... U. Rudiger, Z. Aidoudi, A. Frija, M.

4. LiDAR-based soybean crop segmentation for autonomous navigation

The technological advances in the last few decades have greatly changed agricultural operations. In order to became safer, more profitable, efficient, and sustainable, modern farms have adopted the use of sophisticated technologies, such as robots, sensors, aerial images, and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System). These technologies not only increase the crop productivity, but also reduce the wide use of water, fertilisers, and pesticides. Due to this, they reduce costs and negative envir... V.A. Higuti, A.E.
