1. Excellence in Agronomy 2030: A new CGIAR-wide initiative to deliver agronomy solutions at scaleRequired increases in crop production and productivity in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) will not happen without the increased use of appropriate agronomic practices. While several thousand new varieties of nearly all key crops have been produced in the past decade, recent increases in yields in specific countries have only happened when such varieties received the right agro-inputs and management. That said, agronomy is often highlighted as an area that has not delivered impact at scale in SSA, or... B. Vanlauwe, T. Amede, F. Baudron, P. Chivenge, M. Devare, K. Saito, J. Kihara, V. Nangia, P.

2. Spectral assessment of chickpea morpho-physiological traits from space, air and groundChickpea (Cicer arietinum) is an important grain legume in semi-arid regions and water-stress is a major constraint to its productivity. Area under chickpea cultivation is growing but climate change toward greater aridity results in higher precipitation instability and risks yields. The ability to assess water potential can support irrigation decisions. Thus, improved ability to spatially assess plants water status can promote more efficient irrigation. The current... I.

3. LAND DEGRADATON RISK ASSESSMENT AT A SITE IN AFIJIO LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF OYO STATE, NIGERIASoils are considered non –renewable and it is a limited resource therefore the continuous use of land without appropriate management practices leads to land degradation in the long run. Land degradation is the decline in soil quality caused by natural factors or, more often, by improper use/management usually for agricultural, pastoral or urban purposes. This study aims to map the soils while also assessing the state of land degradation in Afijio Local government area of Oyo state. The study... |
4. Mapping of soil nutrients variability in some plantation crops in Abeokuta, Ogun State Nigeria.The activities of man on the soil and the undulating topography have great effects on soil nutrients variability. For near accurate application of nutrients in precision agriculture in order to reduce wastage of resources, this research was conducted to acquaint the research farm of the institute with the nutrient variability at specific locations. A detailed soil survey was carried out at the Teaching and Research Farms of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State Nigeria. Following... E.C. Basil, R.T. Basil |
5. MAPPING AND ASSESSING AFRICAN SOILS FERTILITY USING HIGH-RESOLUTION REMOTE SENSING AND MACHINE LEARNING APPROACHES: STATE-OF-THE-ART AND PERSPECTIVESAfrica is far from exploiting its true agricultural potential. United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) indicates that the continent has 60% of non-cultivated lands worldwide. While soil fertility is well highlighted as one of the major limiting factors, only limited information is available on soil nutrient contents and nutrient availability in the African soils. Soil fertility of agricultural fields is related to many physical and chemical properties, such as texture, organic matter... M. Hmimou, A. Laamrani, F. Sehbaoui, A. Chehbouni, S. Khabba, D. Dhiba |
6. A review on Sensor based robotics agriculture: Improving traditional Agriculture PracticesAgribot could be a mechanism designed to reduce the labor of farmers by increasing the speed and accuracy of the work. Elementary functions concerned in farming i.e. plowing the sphere, sowing of seeds and covering the seeds with soil. Agribot is associate degree autonomous mechanism that provides the power for choices for offered techniques. Fruit Picker robots, autonomous tractor sprayers, this... S.C. Karad, G.U. Shinde, P.

7. QUANTIFICATION OF OPTIMAL FERTILIZERS DEMAND IN WHEAT AND CORN FIELDS IN MOROCCO USING VERY HIGH-RESOLUTION REMOTE SENSED IMAGERY AND HYBRID COMPUTATIONAL APPROACHESAbstract. Demand on agricultural products is increasing as population continues to grow. Data driven management of macronutrients (i.e., nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K)) and crops are of critical prominence to get the most out of soil in terms of crop yield while preserving environment. This study aims to establish a quantitative framework for macronutrient (i.e., nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) status (i.e., excess, deficiency) for winter wheat (Triticum aestivum... K.

8. The Yield Gap In Africa: Closing the gap through soil attributes management using remote sensing & Precision Agriculture Approaches at the field scaleIn Africa, which has the most population growth in the world, the agricultural system is characterized by the predominance of smallhoder farmers. In order to cope with intense population growth and increased production costs through yield gap closing. Yield gap is defined as the difference between potential yield and actual yield and is an inevitable method to improve yields while decreasing the environmental impacts of agricultural systems. The variability of yields is strongly controlled by... K. Khechba, A. Laamrani, A. Chehbouni, D. Dhiba, K. Misbah |
9. Caractérisation architecturale pour la prédiction du potentiel de production des tètes de clones de Coffea Caenophora pierre ex a. froehnerLe café demeure jusqu’à ce jour une culture très importante dans le monde et particulièrement en Côte d’Ivoire. Cette culture est avec les changements climatiques confrontée à de nombreux facteurs qui limitent sa production. Parmi ces facteurs les plus problématiques sont : la baisse de la fertilité des sols, les insectes et les performances agronomiques de l’espèce et/ou de la variété cultivée.... H. Kouassi |
