With the crop production significantly less than the average of the developing world, farmers in Africa need to adopt advanced planting techniques to improve crop yields. In this paper we study the planting schedule problem of a single crop under rainfall uncertainty and planting capacity constraint.
When properly installed, maintained and operated, sprinkler irrigation systems can help to improve crop production and increase yields significantly. In order to maximize the benefits of sprinkler irrigation, it''s important to select the right type of system for your needs, keep up with regular maintenance, and be aware of best practices for …
Review on Drip Irrigation: Impact on Crop Yield, Quality, ...
Organic amendment had also generally positive effects on crop yields regardless of the soil pH and the highest increase was observed when pH values were higher than 8 (36%). Increases in the crop yields were more notable when organically amended soils received relatively higher quantities of N than mineral-only fertilized soils …
3 · In this part, the process of temperature increase inside the greenhouse environment under the solar simulator and the temperature decrease inside the greenhouse after irradiation were investigated. As shown in Figure 10a,b the comparison of the obtained experimental results shows that a significant temperature difference was recorded.
And how much does increasing the ground-albedo increase the solar irradiation and thus increase the yield of PV facades inside an urban canyon? This work attempts to address these questions. For this purpose, gains were measured at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU) in Vienna during August 2016.

One way to overcome the severe limitation of opaque agrivoltaics is to design new PVs that can maintain plant yield and quality by minimizing PV impact on …
The researchers used decomposition models of solar radiation, which are commonly applied to estimate diffuse horizontal irradiance (DHI) from measured GHI, to …
The goal is not only to increase crop yield but also to ensure its sustainability over time. Achieving this requires interdisciplinary collaboration between breeders, geneticists, agronomists, and other experts who work together to identify desirable traits through extensive field trials and molecular analyses.
The Path to Smart Farming: Innovations and Opportunities ...
Especially in densely populated countries such as Germany, land for solar parks is scarce - all the more so on arable land. This is where the dual use of agri-PV comes into play, allowing farmers to install solar modules above or between their crops. In …
