1. Timeliness In Agricultural Credit Delivery: A Precision Tool For Improved Farm Output And Income For Cocoa Farmers In NigeriaThe agricultural sector in Nigeria is still dominated by peasant farmers’ characterized by low level of income and saving capacity. One way to improve their farm capital investment is by providing them with timely and targeted accessible credit to enhance their production outputs and income because of the clear knowledge of the time specific nature of some farm operations. Then, how timely is the agricultural credit in Nigeria? This study determined the time-lag of credit facility disbursed... J. Lawal |
2. Precision Farm Labour Supply For Effective Cocoa Production In NigeriaIn Nigeria, labour is an essential factor in farming. In view of the importance of labour in agriculture, this study was carried out to investigate the sources of labour used in cocoa production. Multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 100 cocoa farming households. The first stage was a random selection of two Local Government Areas (LGAs), the second stage was the selection of two communities from each of the LGAs while the third stage involved the random selection of twenty five cocoa...

4. Research on Straight-Line Path Tracking Control Methods in an Agricultural Vehicle Navigation SystemIn the precision agriculture (PA), an agricultural vehicle navigation system is essential and precision of the vehicle path tracking is of great importance in such a system. As straight line operation is the main way of agricultural vehicles on large fields, this paper focuses on the discussion of straight-line path tracking control methods and proposes an agricultural vehicle path tracking algorithm based on the optimal control theory. First, the paper deduces a relative kinematics model of agricultural... T. Li, J. Hu, L. Gao, H. Hu, X. Bai, X. Liu |
5. Towards a Multi-Source Record Keeping System for Agricultural Product TraceabilityAgricultural production record keeping is the basis of traceability system. To resolve the problem including single method of information acquisition, weak ability of real-time monitoring and low credibility of history information in agricultural production process, the...

7. Study On The Automatic Monitoring Technology For Fuji Fruit Color Based On Machine VisionFruit color is one of the important indicators of quality and commodities. Three kinds of the traditional methods are used to evaluate fruit color, including artificial visual identification, fruit standard color cards and color measurement instrument. These methods are needed to be conducted in the field by persons, which are time-consuming and labored, and also difficult to obtain the dynamic color information of the target fruits in the growth process. This study developed... M. Chen, M. Li, J. Qian, W. Li, Y. Wang, Y. Zhang, X. Yang |
