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...

3. Development of a Drone-mounted Device for Aerial Application of Mating Disruption Agents in AgricultureIn recent years, drones have been increasingly adopted to reduce workforce and improve the efficiency of pest control in agriculture. However, most drones are optimized for spraying low-viscosity liquid pesticides and thus have limitations in stably applying high-viscosity liquid or solid formulations. In particular, the mating disruption agent (MDA) used in this study, which contains pheromones, must be attached to the crown to maximize pheromone diffusion. It is necessary to develop a technology... S. Song |
4. Application of Automation Technology in Mushroom Stem-cutting: a Case Study from Xinshe, TaiwanThe Xinshe region is one of Taiwan’s major mushroom production hubs, renowned for its high annual yield and exceptional quality. However, despite the growing demand in both domestic and international markets, the region faces a lack of comprehensive automated processing equipment, limiting productivity and exacerbating labor shortages. To address these challenges, this study applies advanced automation technology to develop a mushroom stem-cutting machine aimed at enhancing production efficiency,... K. Li |
5. An Intelligent Poultry Health Monitoring System Based on Multimodal Sensing TechnologiesTraditional poultry farming primarily relies on manual observation to assess the chicken flock health status. However, this approach is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also highly dependent on individual experience, making real-time monitoring difficult to achieve. With the advanced Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, the animal industry is gradually transitioning toward intelligent farming. At present, most sensors focus primarily on environmental... Y. Shih |
6. Energy Harvesting and Application of a Tubular Triboelectric Nanogenerator Driven by Water FlowIn recent years, growing awareness of sustainable and environmentally friendly practices has driven the development of innovative renewable energy technologies. To mitigate the environmental impact of energy production, this study proposed a tubular Triboelectric Nanogenerator (TENG) capable of continuously and stably harvesting energy from flowing water. The designed tubular TENG consisted of two structural components: the inner part served as the primary power generation unit, comprising a friction... P. Liao |
