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. détermination du bilan minéral partiel des exploitations agricoles à base du coton à l’aide du modèle NUTMON La dégradation des sols des exploitations agricoles constitue ces dernières années une des causes principales des baisses de rendements au champ. A cet effet, la détermination quantitative des éléments nutritifs des sols cultivés peut contribuer à concevoir des stratégies de gestion durable de la fertilité de ces sols. C’est dans cette optique que 30 exploitations agricoles à base de coton ont été... A. Komlan, K. Kokou zovodu, A. Bassarou, G. Esso-iheyou, P. Justin
3. Fighting Food, Fertilizer, and the Climate Crisis in Africa Through Targeted Nitrogen Management Food insecurity is a major challenge in Africa which is likely to worsen in the future unless food production in the region is substantially increased to keep up with the food demand of the increasing population. A sufficient amount of nitrogen (N) fertilizer is required for increasing crop yield as N helps convert solar radiation into carbohydrates that drive plant growth. However, smallholder producers in Africa use a small quantity of fertilizer N not sufficient for plant needs resulting... T. Sapkota, N. Cheerakkollil konath, R. Takele, S. Snapp
4. 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
