The application of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in agriculture is increasingly important. E-Agriculture is an emerging field focusing on the enhancement of agricultural and rural development through improved information and communication processes. More specifically,...

The purpose of this work is to evaluate the corn production obtained following the change of the sowing date. In the current context of current climate changes, adaptation of cultivation technology is essential to obtain satisfactory quantitative and qualitative results. The experimental factors...

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the degree of dicotyledonous weed species of maize culture, the effectiveness of weed control products and the evaluation of maize yield. Experimental factors A-treatment variants: a1-pre-emergence herbicide with Tender 1.5 l/ha + Merlin Flex 0.4 l/ha...

The yield dates recorded in the period 2016-2018 indicate that soybean is less demanding at the soil cultivation system, so that in the three years of experimentation, the average yield achieved in the classical soil cultivation system had a close value of that obtained in the minimum system...

The risk of losses of income and productive means due to adverse weather associated to climate change can significantly differ between farmers sharing a productive landscape. It is important to learn more about how farmers react to different levels of risk, under measurable and unmeasurable...

A major challenge for countries dealing with conflict and instability is encouraging the use of farming technologies and natural resource management practices that are climate-smart. These practices boost productivity, build resilience to climate challenges and thus contribute to other...

Climate change is expected to bring hotter periods and reduced rainfall to Burkina Faso, decreasing water availability and soil moisture. This will negatively affect agriculture and food production. This study uses a gender-dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model linked to a...

Innovation and insurance are two important options for the agricultural sector to adapt to climate change. However, how these two options interact with each other has not been documented in the literature. This paper intends to fill this gap by investigating the effects of crop insurance on...

The paper presents a method for assessing the economic impact of on-farm application of technology that causes reduction in greenhouse gasses emission. The proposed method takes into account the incomplete depreciation of technical means used under conditions of crop and animal production...

Climate change will increase the vulnerability of agricultural production systems, unless scientists and farmers reorient their present approaches towards making them climate smart or climate resilient. The integration of recent developments in big data analytics and climate change science with...
