1. 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 |
2. Soil fertility mapping of Dry savannah zone of TogoIncreasing agricultural productivity and therefore the production requires a good knowledge of the soil fertility status and a sustainable nutrients management. The objective of this study is to map spatial distribution of some selected soil fertility parameters in the dry savannah agro-ecological zone that covers the regions of Savanes and Kara in Togo. Soil fertility parameters such as pH, available phosphorus (P), exchangeable potassium (K) and organic matter were determined in soil samples... K.K. Ganyo, K.A. Ablede , K. Koudjega, S. Ani, K.

3. A reinforcement learning based approach for efficient irrigation water managementDue to population growth and the effects of climate change, most of the world's regions are threatened by water scarcity, especially in Africa and the Mediterranean region. In Morocco, agriculture consumes more than 85% of available water. Thus, to preserve water resources, the rational management of irrigation water is necessary. In this context, recent technological progress and the emergence of artificial intelligence could provide an effective decision support tool for the rational and... C. El hachimi, S. Belaqziz, S.

4. Scale Independent Precision AgricultureThe advent of precision agriculture that occurred in the USA about three decades ago involved application of advanced and innovative technologies. Precision agriculture in the US and other advanced countries continued in that direction and today it is more sophisticated and complex than before. Interestingly, the concept of Precision Agriculture is relatively simple and does not mandate utilization of advanced technologies to practice precision agriculture. For example, it may take a suite... R. Khosla |
5. IA Algorithm for Plant Counting: Palm Oil Trees ExampleCounting and estimating plants can sometimes be a real challenge. In this presentation we will see a concrete example of the application of UAV imagery and AI applied to palm cultivation in order to count the plants on a given area. ... A. Karim |
