1. MAPPING AND ASSESSING AFRICAN SOILS FERTILITY USING HIGH-RESOLUTION REMOTE SENSING AND MACHINE LEARNING APPROACHES: STATE-OF-THE-ART AND PERSPECTIVESAfrica is far from exploiting its true agricultural potential. United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) indicates that the continent has 60% of non-cultivated lands worldwide. While soil fertility is well highlighted as one of the major limiting factors, only limited information is available on soil nutrient contents and nutrient availability in the African soils. Soil fertility of agricultural fields is related to many physical and chemical properties, such as texture, organic matter... M. Hmimou, A. Laamrani, F. Sehbaoui, A. Chehbouni, S. Khabba, D. Dhiba |
2. Effect of Plant Population and Nitrogen Rate on Growth and Yield of Two Pre-release rice varieties in KenyaThe application of precision agriculture (PA) through the optimization of plant population and management of fertilizer nitrogen (N) can increase rice yield. Current rice (Oryza sativa) plant population and fertilizer nitrogen (N) management guidelines in Kenya were developed from research conducted about three decades. These management guidelines might still be robust and could be applied to recently released as well as close-to- release varieties. However, the yield potential of... W. Kioko, W. Kioko, W. Kioko, W.

3. QUANTIFICATION OF OPTIMAL FERTILIZERS DEMAND IN WHEAT AND CORN FIELDS IN MOROCCO USING VERY HIGH-RESOLUTION REMOTE SENSED IMAGERY AND HYBRID COMPUTATIONAL APPROACHESAbstract. Demand on agricultural products is increasing as population continues to grow. Data driven management of macronutrients (i.e., nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K)) and crops are of critical prominence to get the most out of soil in terms of crop yield while preserving environment. This study aims to establish a quantitative framework for macronutrient (i.e., nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) status (i.e., excess, deficiency) for winter wheat (Triticum aestivum... K.

4. The Yield Gap In Africa: Closing the gap through soil attributes management using remote sensing & Precision Agriculture Approaches at the field scaleIn Africa, which has the most population growth in the world, the agricultural system is characterized by the predominance of smallhoder farmers. In order to cope with intense population growth and increased production costs through yield gap closing. Yield gap is defined as the difference between potential yield and actual yield and is an inevitable method to improve yields while decreasing the environmental impacts of agricultural systems. The variability of yields is strongly controlled by... K. Khechba, A. Laamrani, A. Chehbouni, D. Dhiba, K. Misbah |
5. Use of Earth Observation Imagery, Advanced Modelling Algorithms and Other Monitoring Systems to Produce Operational Agricultural Annual Crop Inventories for Morocco.African farmers are facing the challenges of a changing climate, increased temperatures, changes in rainfall patterns, more frequent extreme weather events and reductions in water availability. The digital transformation of the agricultural sector is one of the opportunities that can promote good practices of the African agricultural through the sharing of information and tools for decision-making, thereby, boost economic growth of our African country. The shift to digital technologies is... M. Choukri, A. Laamrani , V. simonneaux , B. Gerard , S. Belaqziz, A. Chehbouni, K. Misbah, H. Mcnairn |
