1. Excellence in Agronomy 2030: A new CGIAR-wide initiative to deliver agronomy solutions at scale Required 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. Spatial Interpolation for Mapping Hydraulic Soil Properties in GIS Environment Soil water information is an essential input for environmental, hydrological or land surface models. There is a need for reliable soil water information with current coverage in the area. A number of 60 soil profiles data were evaluated for the performance of estimates inverse distance weighting to map some of the soil quality properties. soil profiles were used for the application of geostatistics. Maps with the investigated coverage were produced with the soil information available about soil... M.A. Abdelrahman, A.M. Saleh, M.M. El sharkawy, E. Farg, S.M. Arafat
3. Virtual Agronomist - Getting Soil Information and Agronomic Advice into Farmers’ Hands Precision agronomic advice tailored to individual farm field characteristics and farmer circumstances is currently unavailable to smallholder farmers in Africa. Virtual Agronomist aims to fill this gap by providing scalable agronomic advisory for African agribusinesses working with smallholder farmers. This is a scientifically based mobile phone app that is simple enough to be used with minimal training by field agents. It is designed to help farmers better meet their production and profit objectives... K. Shepherd
