Integrating Drip, Fertigation, and AI: Towards a Sustainable Farming Model

Uncategorized / By

1. Introduction Agriculture is the largest consumer of freshwater worldwide, accounting for nearly 70 percent of total withdrawals (FAO, 2022). Traditional irrigation and blanket fertilizer application often lead to water loss, nutrient leaching, and greenhouse-gas emissions. As the pressure on natural resources intensifies, integrated precision technologies offer a sustainable alternative. Drip irrigation delivers water directly …

Analysis of Rainfall Erosivity Potential in Parts of Southeastern Nigeria

Uncategorized / By

Introduction Erosivity is a function of rainfall, a natural phenomenon that is outside human control and manipulation. Rainfall intensities can be usually high in Southeast Nigeria (Nwankwo&Nwankwoala, 2018a). Obi and Salako (1995) reported that rainfalls with intensities between the ranges of 100 to 125mmh-1 are likely to occur more than five times a year. Storms …
