1. 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 |
2. Application of precision agriculture technologies in grazing: example of goats browsing in forest rangelands of Northern MoroccoThe aim of this study was to characterize patterns of grazing behavior of goats in a Mediterranean forest rangeland. We conducted a one-year study in the Chefchaouen region, Northern Morocco, during two contrasting seasons (spring and summer) using new technological tools. Eight goats were simultaneously fitted with GPS collars and sensors for 3 days during each season. A calibration study and classification tree analysis were used to predict other grazing activities of goats (eating, walking,... Y. Chebli, S. El otmani, M. Chentouf, J. Hornick, J. Cabaraux |
3. 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.

4. Monitoring irrigation water use at large scale irrigated areas using remote sensing in water scarce environmentIncreasing pressure on available water resources in semi-arid region will affect the availability of water for irrigated agriculture. In this context, adoption of innovative and cost-effective tools for water management and analysis of water use patterns in irrigated areas is required for an efficient and sustainable use of water resources. This study aims to evaluate a remote sensing-based approach which allows estimation of the temporal and spatial distribution of crop evapotranspiration... M. Kharrou, V. Simonneaux, M. Le page, S.

5. Potato Yield Prediction Using Multi-temporal Sentinel-2 Data and Multiple Linear RegressionTraditional potato growth models have a number of flaws, i.e., the cost of data collection, quality of input data, and the absence of spatial information in some cases. To address these challenges, we created a multiple linear regression model (MLRM) that uses the multi-temporal Sentinel-2 derived indices to predict potato yield. Along the growing season (from October 2019 to February 2020) eight Sentinel-2 imageries were collected, afterwards, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI)... M.E.

6. Use of Earth Observation Imagery, Advanced Modelling Algorithms and Other Monitoring Systems to Produce Operational Agricultural Annual Crop Inventories for Morocco.African farmers are facing the challenges of a changing climate, increased temperatures, changes in rainfall patterns, more frequent extreme weather events and reductions in water availability. The digital transformation of the agricultural sector is one of the opportunities that can promote good practices of the African agricultural through the sharing of information and tools for decision-making, thereby, boost economic growth of our African country. The shift to digital technologies is... M. Choukri, A. Laamrani , V. simonneaux , B. Gerard , S. Belaqziz, A. Chehbouni, K. Misbah, H. Mcnairn |
7. Using Precision Technologies to Monitor the Grazing Activities of Goat in a North African WoodlandIn the north of Africa, browsing on natural pastures is the main source of feed for domestic goats. Livestock farming, particularly grazing goats, constitutes the prevalent agricultural activity in the mountainous areas of Morocco. Data on animal behavioral activities are essential for understanding their feeding and their interaction with the environment in order to define the optimal management intervention strategies. The recent development of precision farming technologies and the increasing... Y. Chebli, M. Chentouf, J. Cabaraux, S. El otmani |
