1. Spectral assessment of chickpea morpho-physiological traits from space, air and groundChickpea (Cicer arietinum) is an important grain legume in semi-arid regions and water-stress is a major constraint to its productivity. Area under chickpea cultivation is growing but climate change toward greater aridity results in higher precipitation instability and risks yields. The ability to assess water potential can support irrigation decisions. Thus, improved ability to spatially assess plants water status can promote more efficient irrigation. The current... I.

2. LAND DEGRADATON RISK ASSESSMENT AT A SITE IN AFIJIO LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF OYO STATE, NIGERIASoils are considered non –renewable and it is a limited resource therefore the continuous use of land without appropriate management practices leads to land degradation in the long run. Land degradation is the decline in soil quality caused by natural factors or, more often, by improper use/management usually for agricultural, pastoral or urban purposes. This study aims to map the soils while also assessing the state of land degradation in Afijio Local government area of Oyo state. The study... |
3. Mapping of soil nutrients variability in some plantation crops in Abeokuta, Ogun State Nigeria.The activities of man on the soil and the undulating topography have great effects on soil nutrients variability. For near accurate application of nutrients in precision agriculture in order to reduce wastage of resources, this research was conducted to acquaint the research farm of the institute with the nutrient variability at specific locations. A detailed soil survey was carried out at the Teaching and Research Farms of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State Nigeria. Following... E.C. Basil, R.T. Basil |
4. Precision Nutrient Management for Cassava ProductionMatching nutrient supplies with plant nutrient requirements is key to sustaining crop production while preserving the environment. However, fertilizer recommendations are either inexistent or provided as blanket rates in cassava production systems in sub-Saharan Africa. We studied the effects on cassava yield and profitability of site-specific fertilizer rates against farmer’s practices within the framework of the African Cassava Agronomy Initiative (ACAI) project in Nigeria and Tanzania. A... K.S. Ezui |
5. Recommandation De Formules De Fertilisation Site-spécifique Pour La Production Du Maïs Dans La Région Des Savanes Du TogoDans le contexte actuel de la dégradation des terres agricoles et des difficultés de disponibilité et d'accès aux intrants agricoles en particulier les engrais, la maximisation de l'efficience d'utilisation des nutriments en nutrition des plantes devient plus que jamais une nécessité. Nous avons conduit en 2020 sous culture de maïs (Zea mays L.), des essais soustractifs à base de l'azote (N), du phosphore (P) et du potassium... M. Lare, J. Sogbedji, K. Lotsi, K. Amouzou, A.

6. Maximisation De L’efficience D’utilisation Des Nutriments : Recommandation De Fertilisation à La Carte Pour Le Maïs Sur Les Ferralsols Du Sud-togoL'amélioration de la nutrition des plantes à travers l'agriculture de précision devient incontournable pour l'optimisation de l'entreprise agricole et la protection de l'environnement. Nous avons conduit pendant la grande saison culturelle de 2019 et 2020, sous culture de maïs (Zea mays L.), des essais soustractifs à base de l'azote (N), du phosphore (P) et du potassium (K) à la station d'expérimentations agronomiques (SEAL)...
