Sensors are a modern agricultural technology, developed to help farmers obtain faster and better results, assisting in the determination of various soil characteristics. They can be used to measure in real-time thus controlling the variable rate application. It can also be used on-the-go, generating soil maps in conjunction with a GPS. These vehicle-based sensors are located in theRead more

Farming is a complex activity, one in which every segment impacts the crop production. To have a successful crop production, all segments need to be managed properly. Good soil preparation is half of the job, while the other half is good management of crop maintenance. After soil preparation and planting are completed, there is stillRead more

Today, farming is barely sustainable without implementing modern farm technologies. With the rapid development of precision technology based on sensors, farmers can achieve successful crop production. Digital information regarding weather, soil conditions, and crop health has the potential to help modern farmers optimize their yields and achieve a high level of farm productivity. As aRead more

Orchard and vineyard production is a complex system where every farm practice plays a specific, important role. The road to success is often paved with many obstacles. However, there are always some hidden tips and tricks that will significantly improve orchard and vineyard crop production. Sometimes, the secret to successful farming lays in the smallest details, suchRead more

Harvest is one of the most delicate parts of the grain production journey. Grains such as wheat, maize, rice, proso millet, sorghum, and barley play a major role in the human diet. Additionally, grain production is the main source of income for farmers throughout the world. Therefore, all grain farmers share the same goal: to haveRead more

Grains, also called cereals, are one of the most important crops. These crops play a major role in human diet, particularly in developing countries. More importantly, grains represent a staple food and the main source of income for farmers throughout the world. Theoretically, grains represent cultivated grasses and millets grown for their edible starch grain, such as wheat, maize,Read more

Agriculture of today is faced with many problems. The lack of available farmland, limited access to water, climate change, and overpopulation all jeopardize the overall sustainability of farm production. In aiming to produce enough food for the growing population, farmers are forced to increase crop productivity per field unit. So here is the big question that every strugglingRead more

Regarding the fact that weeds cause yield losses of up to 45%, weed control is an extremely important part of farm management. The exact direction of weed management largely depends on the crop production type, as well as some other factors, such as the financial capacity or the size of each farm. Still, there is one weeding practice widely used among farmers- soil cultivation.Read more

Disking is a farm management practice used for soil preparation. It usually follows plowing, either deep or shallow. While plowing cuts, granulates, and inverts the soil, creating furrows and ridges, disking breaks up clods and surface crusts. Additionally, disking improves soil granulation and surface uniformity. As one of the most important soil preparation practices, disking is beneficial for provoking the weed growth and destroysRead more

Plowing is one of the most important soil management practices, used for centuries to create a straight, grained, structural, and moist sowing layer. Plowing is a simple, but effective farm practice that cuts, granulates, and inverts the soil, creating furrows and ridges. Depending on the depth and time of plowing there a few types of plowing, including: VeryRead more
