Drivers for the Adoption of Different Eco-Innovation Types in the Fertilizer Sector: A Review

“…Information can be seen as important precursor for innovation adoption. That goes in line with many publications for this particular type of innovation [68,69,74,[79][80][81]84,[109][110][111][113][114][115]. One source of information could be agricultural events such as field days, exhibitions and trade fairs, seminars or workshops [113].…”

“…One major driver mentioned as important by almost all publications is the quality of support [68,69,73,74,79,81,84,[109][110][111][112][113][114][115]. Reichardt et al [68] declared that farmers need more information about the different farming tools and more training opportunities as well as a better advisory service.…”

Different Remote Sensing Data in Relative Biomass Determination and in Precision Fertilization Task Generation for Cereal Crops

“…The foundations for this dissertation have long been built and the approaches in the related publications are a result of iterative works of the author. Challenges with the ISOBUS task execution were first been addressed in Suomi et al( 2006), Pesonen et al (2007), Ojanne et al (2009), , Nikkilä et al (2012b) and Pesonen et al (2012) and Nikkilä (2013). The overlapping work with farm machinery was introduced for example in Kaivosoja (2009) and .…”

Land suitability procedure for sustainable citrus planning using the application of the analytical network process approach and GIS

“…Hence, a number of researchers have been active in this field recently (Le Gal et al, 2011;Nikkilä et al, 2012;Cardín-Pedrosa and Alvarez-López, 2012; With the growth in the population and the reduction of arable lands, ensuring effective use of arable land to meet the growing demand for food requires rational land use management and planning. Land suitability evaluation (LSE) involves the process of appraisal and grouping of specific areas of land in terms of their suitability according to the specific types of use (Rossiter, 1996;Liu et al, 2006;Lee and Yeh, 2009;Martin and Saha, 2009 has been made over the last twenty years in developing methods of multi-criteria-LSE, especially by integrating GIS with Multi criteria decision making (MCDM) (Malczewski, 2006;Mendas and Delali, 2012;Nguyen et al, 2015).…”
