1. Do Precision and Climate Concerns Shape Fertilizer Usage Proportions? Evidence from DenmarkFarmers are constantly facing pressure to enhance crop productivity while minimizing environmental and climate impacts through efficient input management. In Denmark, because of concerns over nitrogen leaching, greenhouse gas emissions, and water quality degradation, there are tight regulations to fertilizer use. This makes precision farming technologies a key to the efficient management of nutrients through site-specific input application based on crop and soil variability. However, adoption... N.

2. Economic performance of Robotic Applications in Field Crop Farming: Examples from Four European Case StudiesThis paper presents cost benefit analysis of robotic applications in field crop farming based on case studies from an EU project called ROBS4CROPS with pilot cases situated in Loire valley in France, Corinth in Greece, Catalonia in Spain and Oldambt in the Netherlands. The cases form France and The Netherlands focus on mechanical weeding in vineyards and sugar beet, respectively. The ones in Spain and Greece deal with robotic spraying of crop protection chemicals in apple orchards and table grapes,... T.W. Tamirat, S.M. Pedersen |
3. Development and Field Validation of SMART-C: A Geostatistics and PCA-Based Decision Framework for Site-Specific Cocoa Management in the Brazilian AmazonCocoa production plays a major socioeconomic role in Pará State, Brazil’s largest producing region, with annual output exceeding 140 thousand tons. Although Brazil ranks among the world’s leading cocoa producers, most production systems are still managed using field-average approaches that disregard within-field spatial variability of soil attributes and crop performance. This limitation restricts input efficiency and long-term system sustainability in perennial tropical systems.This... |
