1. Precision Farming Technology to Increase Soil and Crop Productivity in Egypt Using Remote Sensing and GIS Precision farming or site-specific land management is a new approach for development the agriculture processes to increase the soil and crop productivity with saving efforts and costs. Precision farming includes many techniques such as Global Position Systems (GPS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS), Yield Monitors, Internet of Things (IOT), Variable Rate Application (VRA), Yield Mapping, Site-Specific Management Zones (SSMZ) and Crop Modeling. SSMZ delineation can be improved... A. Belal, M. Elsayed , M.E. Jalhoum, M. Abdelatif , E. Hendawy , M. Emam, M. Zahran
2. Development of Canopy Mapping System of Asian pears (Pyrus pyrifolia Naka) Using Terrestrial Laser Scanning In this paper, the canopy mapping system (CMS) of Asian pears for estimating yield during Bud thinning and Pruning operations using point cloud data was proposed. Bud thinning and Pruning in Asian pear (Pyrus pyrifolia Naka) is necessary to ensure quality and yield but is time-consuming and heavily depends on work knowledge. This study described a method of estimating the number of fruits through the length of a branch based on remote sensing. The CMS would be useful to support more efficient... E. Morimoto, J. Lee, K.

3. MAPPING AND ASSESSING AFRICAN SOILS FERTILITY USING HIGH-RESOLUTION REMOTE SENSING AND MACHINE LEARNING APPROACHES: STATE-OF-THE-ART AND PERSPECTIVES Africa 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.

4. EFFECT OF INTERCROPPING SORGHUM WITH COWPEA AND NITROGEN APPLICATION ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF SORGHUM (Sorghum bicolor (L.) MOENCH) Despite the development of improved varieties, the yield of sorghum has remained significantly low in dryland environments due to low soil fertility and inappropriate cropping practices. However, implementation of precision agriculture (PA) within the context of companion cropping with legumes and fine-tuning the supply of fertilizer nitrogen (N) has the potential to increase sorghum yield in these environments. Nonetheless, the effect sorghum-cowpea compatibility, fertilizer N use and their interaction... P.E. Moi , O.M. Kitonyo, G.N. Chemining’wa, J.M. Kinama Download paper
5. Some essential nutrients, active limestone and pH status of north and center Tunisian soils. Tunisia is a North African country characterized by a Mediterranean climate in the north and Saharan climate in the south part of the country, which resulted in a high geo-morphological diversity of its soils. The last are known by their various fertility status that is affected by abiotic constrains such as salinity, drought, erosion and low organic matter concentration. Thereby, soil fertility is largely linked to geographical position, making fertilization recommendation... A. Hachana, I. Hemissi, I. Achour, A. Souissi, B. Sifi Download paper
6. Deep Learning is bringing pan-African small holder advisory services based on mid-infrared spectroscopic soil analysis to the next level The majority of African smallholder farmers do not have access to soil analytical services. The main reasons are relatively high costs of wet chemical services and difficult logistics. As a result they have to rely on blanket fertilizer recommendations. This often causes poor soil management due to very heterogeneous soil conditions. As a result, the return on investment from blanket fertilizer recommendations is low and fertilizer acceptance is not growing among smallholder farmers. Soil spectral... T. Terhoeven-urselmans, D.
