Abstract:
... To reduce the cost of machinery and manual operation, greatly improve the efficiency of maize sowing, and solve the problems of slow sowing speed, unstable operation quality, and the difficult monitoring of the sowing process of traditional seeders, a control system for an electrically driven precision maize seeder based on the CANopen protocol was designed. In this system, an STM32 is used as the ...

Abstract:
... Maize seeding is greatly affected by improper seed placement and poor planter performance under a no-tillage mechanisation system. To overcome the issue, we explored the impact of separating board and anti-blocking mechanism (0, 1/4, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, and 1 type) on maize seeding under different forward speeds (3, 5, 7 km/h) and rotational speeds (260, 400, 530, 740 rpm), where the performance metric ...

Abstract:
... Assessing planting to ensure well-distributed plants is important to achieve high yields. Digital farming has been helpful in these field assessments. However, these techniques are at most times not available for smallholder farmers or low-income regions. Thus, to contribute such producers, we developed two methods to assess intra-row spacing in commercial fields using mobile photos and simple ima ...

Abstract:
... Soil water preferential flow, PF, is the phenomenon where water moves along certain pathways, while bypassing a fraction of the porous matrix. This work presents a laboratory procedure to estimate the hydraulic conductivity of the soil water preferential flow, KPF. Using an upward infiltration curve followed by an over-pressure step, KPF is calculated as the difference between the total hydraulic ...

Abstract:
... In temperate systems, it is well known that forage legumes can improve both nitrogen (N) supply and yields of subsequent cereal crops. While this is assumed to be true in tropical systems, it is less well tested, particularly in smallholder settings where forage is often cut and removed from the field. This paper confirms the potential of short phases of tropical forage legumes to provide N to sub ...

This study assessed the efficiency of stabilized fertilizers in reducing NH₃-N volatilization under differ ...
