1. Precision Fertigation in Wheat for Sustainable Agriculture in Saudi ArabiaWheat is an important cereal crop of Saudi Arabia grown on an area of 250,000 ha with an annual production of 1,260,000 metric tons. The crop is cultivated on sandy soils using sprinkler irrigation under center pivots. The crop is sown in November... V.C. Patil, K.A. Al-gaadi |
2. Assessment of Land Use Changes in Dirab Region of Saudi Arabia Using Remotely Sensed ImageriesA thorough knowledge of land use changes is important for planning and management activities of land resources. Moreover, it is considered as... K.A. Al-gaadi |
3. Comparative Performance Of Different Remote Sensing (RS) And Geographic Information System (GIS) Techniques Of Wheat Area And Production EstimatesThe major wheat producing countries in the world are India, China, USA, France, Russia, Canada and Australia. Global demand for wheat is growing @ 1% per year. Crop growth and productivity are determined by a large number of factors such as genetic potential of crop cultivar, soil, weather and management variables, which vary significantly across time and space. Early prediction of crop yield is important for planning and taking various policy decisions. Many countries use the... V.C. Patil, K.A. Al-gaadi |
4. Response Of Rhodes Grass (Chloris Gayana Kunth) To Variable Rate Application Of Irrigation Water And Fertilizer NitrogenRhodes grass is cultivated extensively in Saudi Arabia under center pivot sprinkler irrigation system. The research work was carried out to optimize irrigation water and fertilizer nitrogen levels for the crop. The objectives of the study were: 1. To delineate the field in to management zones, 2. To study the effects of variable rate application (VRA) of irrigation water and fertilizer nitrogen on the yield of Rhodes grass. A field experiment was carried out from... V. Patil, R. Madugundu, E.

5. SMARTfarm Learning Hub: Next Generation Precision Agriculture Technologies for Agricultural EducationThe industry demands on higher education agricultural students are rapidly changing. New precision agriculture technologies are revolutionizing the farming industry but the education sector is failing to keep pace. This paper reports on the development of a key resource, the SMARTfarm Learning Hub (www.smartfarmhub.com) that will increase the skill base of higher education students using a range of new agricultural technologies and innovations. The Hub is a world first; it links real industry... M. Trotter, S. Gregory, T. Trotter, T. Acuna, D. Swain, W. Fasso, J. Roberts, A. Zikan, A. Cosby |
6. Web Application for Automatic Creation of Thematic Maps and Management Zones - AgDataBox-Fast TrackAgriculture is challenging to produce more profitably, with the world population expected to reach some 10 billion people by 2050. Such a challenge can be achieved by adopting precision agriculture and digital agriculture (Agriculture 4.0). Digital agriculture (DA) has become a reality with the availability of cheaper and more powerful sensors, actuators and microprocessors, high-bandwidth cellular communication, cloud communication, and Big Data. DA enables information to flow from used agricultural... J. Aikes junior, E.G. Souza, C. Bazzi, R. Sobjak, A. Hachisuca, A. Gavioli, N. Betzek, K. Schenatto, W. Moreira, E. Mercante, M. Rodrigues |
