1. Precision Nutrient Management for Cassava Production Matching 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.

2. Determining Nutrients rates for Maize, Rice, Cotton, and Tomato in Dry Savannah zone of Togo based on site specific nutrient management approach Inadequate fertilizer application limits crop yields and lead to the soil fertility depletion. This study aims at formulating nutrients rates recommendations for main the crops in dry savannah zone of Togo. Site specific nutrient management approach based on spatial variations in nutrients status, crops nutrients requirement and average crop yields under field conditions was used to determine recommendations rates in N, P and K. For maize cropping, nutrients needs are 94 kgN.ha-1, 42...
3. Small Machinery for Sustainable Intensification of Crop-Livestock System under Biomass Shortage Small crop-livestock systems in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC) such as North African ones are characterized by low mechanization levels, thus undermining their productivity and sustainability. Machinery being promoted in local markets are made and imported mostly from industrial countries where farm systems are larger in terms of size. Prices of these machines are not affordable for small to medium sized land-holding farmers who remain incapable of upgrading and modernizing their farming... U. Rudiger, Z. Aidoudi, A. Frija, M.

4. Precision Nitrogen Management in Maize Using an Optical Sensor in the Indo-Gangetic Plains Blanket fertilizer nitrogen (N) for large irrigated maize field lead to low N use efficiency (NUE) due to spatial and in season temporal variability. In order to achieve higher NUE, a fertilizer N management strategy using GreenSeekerTMoptical sensor was evaluated. GreenSeekerTM uses visible and near-infrared spectral response from crop canopies. We conducted 03 field experiments during 2012-14 in monsoon season maize to define relationship and develop algorithm between in season... V. Singh
