1. Optical High-Resolution Camera System with Computer Vision Software for Recognizing Insects, Fruit on Trees, Growth of CropsWith the inspiration of helping the farmer to grow his crop in the optimal way, Pessl Instruments GmbH, from Weiz, Austria, developed optical high-resolution camera system, together with a computer vision software which is able to recognize insects, fruits on trees and growth of crop. Pessl Instruments develops decision support system which is consisting from remote monitoring of insect traps and remote monitoring of fields and crops. Optical high-resolution camera system can be installed on the... J. Potrpin, G. Pessl, D. Najvirt, C. Pilz |
2. Enhancing On-farm Rice Yields, Water Productivity, and Profitability Through Alternate Wetting and Drying Technology in Dry Zones of West AfricaIrrigated rice farming is crucial for meeting the growing rice demand and ensuring global food security. Yet, its substantial water demand poses a significant challenge in light of increasing water scarcity. Alternate wetting and drying irrigation (AWD), one of the most widely advocated water-saving technologies, was recently introduced as a prospective solution in the semi-arid zones of West Africa. However, it remains debatable whether AWD can achieve the multiple goals of saving water while... Y.J. Johnson, M. Becker, E.R. Dossou-yovo, K. Saito |
3. Balancing Water Productivity and Nutrient Use Efficiency: Evaluation of Alternate Wetting and Severe Drying TechnologyWith emerging water scarcity and rising fertilizer prices, it is crucial to optimize future water use while maintaining yield and nutrient efficiency in irrigated rice. Alternate wetting and moderate drying has proven to be an efficient water-saving irrigation technology for the semi-arid zones of West Africa, reducing water inputs without yield penalty. Alternate wetting and severe drying (AWD30), by re-irrigating fields only when the water table reaches 30 cm below the soil surface, may further... J. Johnson, M. Becker, J.P. Kaboré, E.R.
