1. Crop water requirements, biomass and grain yields estimation for Sulla (Hedysarum coronarium L.) using cropwat in semi-arid regions of TunisiaDwindling water resources and increasing food requirements require greater efficiency in water use, both in rainfed and in irrigated agriculture. Regulated deficit irrigation provides a means of reducing water consumption while minimizing adverse effects on yield. With the current water shortage in Africa improving crop water use is vital especially in the arid and semi-arid regions. Models can play a useful role in developing practical recommendations for optimizing crop production under... R. Hajri, M. Rezghui, M. Mechri, M. Ben Younes |
2. Sensor Based In-Season Nitrogen Determination for Quality Protein Maize on Farmers Field Western EthiopiaQuality protein maize production is a current common practice and widely produced in western Ethiopia but its productivity is negatively affected by low rate and time of nitrogen application but there is still inadequate research on this phenomenon in quality protein maize production. This in view different attempts have been made to solve the soil fertility problems using sensor-based nitrogen management in southwestern and western Ethiopia. The objectives of this review were to summarize past... T. Abera |
3. Decision-Making Tools in Soil Management and Plant Nutrition On-Farm Research and Observation Plot: Between Reality and ChallengesIn this presentation, we will address a number of decision-making tools and assess their relevance and limitations for the Mediterranean and Tunisia's agricultural conditions. Decision-making tools can be classified, based on the scale, to different levels, ranging from national and regional scale to farm scale. On a large scale, an agricultural policy can be drawn based on the governmental agricultural plans, and soil maps can be adopted as a decision-making tool and thus guide support in... M. Mechri |
