1. Crop water requirements, biomass and grain yields estimation for Sulla (Hedysarum coronarium L.) using cropwat in semi-arid regions of Tunisia Dwindling 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 Download paper
2. Estimating greensnap yield damage with canopy reflectance: a case study Grain yield reduction caused by storm-induced plant breakage (green snap) occurs often in corn fields. With climate change and an increasing frequency in the occurrence of extreme weather events, it is essential to develop methods that can accurately estimate green snap damage, so growers can be properly compensated by insurance companies for yield loss. Because plant breakage also affects crop canopy reflectance, this case study aimed to characterize the changes in crop canopy reflectance... G. Dias paiao, T.J. Nigon, F.G. Fernández, C.

3. Using Site-Specific Management Zones for Potato Crop Management, East Nile Delta, Egypt The field management zones (MZ) delineated using soil electrical conductivity (EC) and topographic parameters are the basis for site-specific crop management (SSCM). The objective of this paper was to delineation site-specific management zones of 155 feddans (67.2 ha) of a potato pivot field at East of Nile Delta, Egypt for use in smart farming based on spatial variability of soil and plant properties, yield and topographic attributes. The salinity measurement in the field... A.B. Belal, E.S. Mohamed, M.E. Jalhoum, M. zahran, M.A. Abdellatif, M.S. Emam, E.A. Hendway
4. Keynote 8 - Precision Agriculture in Sub- Africa: The Path Forward Smallholder farmers contribute significantly to food security and rural livelihoods in Africa, but their yields are often low due to declining soil fertility, high input costs, and decreased availability of land for cultivation among other factors. These challenges are exacerbated by climate change. Furthermore, soil physicochemical and biological properties are heterogeneous among farms within same or different agro-ecological zones, with obvious consequences for yields. This variability... K.
