1. Enhancing Farmers' Indigenous Knowledge Management in Cassava Varietal Trial Using Agro Ecosystem Analysis, Farmers' Drama Group and Animations in Eastern part of Nigeria.Researchers continue to come up with new varieties but farmer perspectives and preferences are very important factors for new varieties to spread in farmers’ communities. Researcher priorities alone are not enough. A variety may be ‘scientifically perfect... C.C. Asiabaka, M.O. Adesope, C.C. Ifeanyi- obi, R.N. Nwakwasi, F. Nnadi, E.C. Matthews- njoku, J. Chikaire |
2. Early Identification Of Leaf Rust On Wheat Leaves With Robust Fitting Of Hyperspectral SignaturesEarly recognition of pathogen infection is of great relevance in precision plant protection. Disease detection before the occurrence of visual symptoms is of particular interest. By use of a laserfluoroscope, UV-light induced fluorescence data were collected from healthy and with leaf rust infected wheat leaves of the susceptible cv. Ritmo 2-4 days after inoculation under controlled conditions. In order to evaluate disease impact on spectral characteristics 215 wavelengths in the range of 370-800... C. R, T. Rumpf, K. B, M.

3. Creation Of Prescription For Optimal Nitrogen Fertilization Through Evaluation Of Soil Carbon Amount Using Remotely Sensed DataIn these years, drastic increase of agricultural production costs has been induced, which was triggered by the sharp rise of costs relating to agricultural production materials such as fertilizers and oil. In Japan, the substantial negative influence is anticipated to spread over to management of the farmers particularly in Hokkaido, the northern part of Japan. As one of the measures against this influence, a plan of effective fertilizer application and also... E. Tamura, K. Aijima, K. Niwa, O. Nagata, K. Wakabayashi, C. Hongo |
4. Suitability Of Fluorescence Sensors To Estimate The Susceptibility Degree Of Spring Barley To Powdery Mildew And Leaf RustThe overall role of precision agriculture is not restricted to those systems for in-field and in-season sensing of the impact of stresses. Much more, its contribution comprises the prevention of stresses, amongst others by supporting the selection of appropriate and stress-tolerant genotypes in breeding programs. In this context, the development, selection and use of cultivars which are tolerant to pathogens establish an essential tool for a more sustainable and environmental-friendly... G. Leufen, G. Noga, M. Hunsche |
5. Selection Of Fluorescence Indices For The Proximal Sensing Of Single And Multiple Stresses In Sugar BeetThe use of fluorescence indices for sensing the impact of abiotic and biotic stresses in agricultural crops is well documented in the literature. Pigment fluorescence gives a precise picture about the plant physiology and its changes following the occurrence of stresses. In general, alterations in such optical signals is caused either by the stress-induced accumulation of one or more fluorophores, or the degradation of specific molecules like chlorophyll. Unfortunately, many stresses... G. Leufen, G. Noga, M. Hunsche |
6. Design and Performance Experiment of an Outer Grooved-Wheel Fertilizer Apparatus with the Helical ToothTraditional outer groove-wheel fertilizer apparatus (OGWFA) with the straight tooth exists the problem of breakage and pulsation in the fertilizing process. A new type of OGWFA with the helical tooth has been designed to solve this problem, and the amount of fertilizer can be adjusted. The helix angle of the helical tooth has been optimized by theory analysis and DEM simulation. It reveals that the helix angle should be ranged from 34.4° to 68.8°. The performances of the OGWFA with the... D. Jun, X. Junfang, Z. Wangyuan, W. Qiaohua, D. Youchun, S. Caixia, Z. Zhihui |
