1. Decision Support System for Precision Agriculture management Case study : El Salihiya –east Nile delta, Egypt.Soil is a complex mixture of living organisms and organic material, along with soil minerals. the main objective of this work is develop a new methods to improve the agricultural management .The current study relies on developing a decision-making model for agricultural operations to manage potato crops in the El Salihiya area using field data,laboratory analysis and field sensor measurements. The precision agriculture decision support system entitled (EGYPADS) was designed and developed... A. Belal , S. abd el-kader, B. Mamdouh , M. A el-shirbeny, M. abdellatif1, M. Jalhoum , M.

2. Scaling Precision Agriculture in West Africa Smallholder Irrigation and Water Management SystemsThe advent of precision agriculture (PA) is changing global agricultural productivity; through the underlining principles that ensure inputs required for the management of soil, water and crop agronomy are supplied precisely across the field landscape resulting in optimum yield. The benefits of PA include improved food security through increases in water and nutrient use efficiency, and timely management of good agricultural practices. The practice of PA could be beneficial across commercial –... A.O. Oke, V. Aduramigba-modupe |
3. Methodology for Assessing Nutrient Status of Nigeria Croplands: AfSIS/NiSIS Pilot Project - Pathway for Precision Agriculture MappingInherently low soil fertility, nutrient imbalances and accelerating degradation constitute threats to precision agriculture (PA), agricultural productivity and ecosystem services in sub-Saharan Africa (Nigeria inclusive). Presently, the geographical extent of existing nutrient constraints, location specific trends and opportunities for managing these over time are highly uncertain. The AfSIS/NiSIS project assessment aims to provide spatially explicit observations, measurements and predictions... V. Aduramigba-modupe, I. Amapu, M. Walsh, B. Scott |
4. 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.

5. Determining Nutrients rates for Maize, Rice, Cotton, and Tomato in Dry Savannah zone of Togo based on site specific nutrient management approachInadequate 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... |
6. Nutrient Quality Studies of Fluted Pumpkin (Telfairia Occidentalis Hook. F) Leaves as Influence by Fertilizer Micro-dosing and TimeThe nutrient qualities of vegetables have been noted to be affected by agronomic practices. The study evaluated the effect of fertilizer micro-dosing and time of application on nutrient quality of fluted pumpkin. The field experiment was carried out during 2017/2018 cropping season at the Teaching and Research Farm, Obafemi Awolowo University (O.A.U), Ile-Ife, situated within the forest zone (latitude 070 28’N and longitude 040 33’East and 224 m above sea level). The experiment was... |
7. Mapping of micronutrients status in soils under multivarietal Citrus sinensis production for precision agricultureCitrus production in Nigeria is below the world average; and this is caused among other things by poor soil management. The situation is further acerbated by blanket fertilizer application and low application of precision in soil fertility management. A study was carried out on a 34 year old multi varietal citrus orchard under sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) to determine the current soil fertility status and variability of micronutrients. Soil samples were collected at a sampling depth... B.N. Okafor, B.N. Okafor, V. Aduaramigba, O. Denton |
8. Sensor Based In-Season Nitrogen Determination for Quality Protein Maize on Farmers Field Western EthiopiaQuality protein maize production is a current common practice and widely produced in western Ethiopia but its productivity is negatively affected by low rate and time of nitrogen application but there is still inadequate research on this phenomenon in quality protein maize production. This in view different attempts have been made to solve the soil fertility problems using sensor-based nitrogen management in southwestern and western Ethiopia. The objectives of this review were to summarize past... T. Abera |
9. Analyse De La Variabilité Spatiale Des Rendements De Maïs (Zea Mays L.) Dans Les Régions Des Savanes Et Centrale Du TogoL'agriculture de précision s'impose au Togo. Une étude a été menée dans 5 préfectures du Togo, dont 2 dans la région des Savanes (Oti et Kpendjal) et 3 dans la région Centrale (Sotouboua, Tchamba et Tchaoudjo) avec un total de 20 producteurs en 2021. d'analyser la variation spatiale du rendement en grain du maïs (variété Ikenne) au sein de chaque région sous deux pratiques de gestion agricoles incluant :...

10. 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.

11. New Trends in Precision Agriculture Management: Africa PerspectiveThe ever-increasing human population in Africa demands a corresponding increase in food and fiber production. Although Africa has the 12th highest population growth rates in the world which may double by 2050, food productivity in the region has remained low. A critical challenge facing crop production in Africa is low awareness of precision agriculture (PA) and low soil fertility in many agroecosystems. Available studies show that digital technology is transforming the agricultural sector... V. Aduramigba-modupe |
12. Fine-tuning Specialty Fertilization Strategies to Local Wheat Production Through On-farm Experimentation in NigeriaWheat specialty fertilizer validation trial was conducted in 8 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Kano State, Nigeria on farmers field. The specialty fertilizer validation project is implemented to improve the productivity and profitability of small-scale wheat smallholder farmers. Four treatments - absolute control (AC), local control (LC), OCP1 and OCP2 were replicated four times in a RCBD on a plot of 25m2. The AC was based on the indigenous nutrient supply from the soil (no application... V. Aduramigba-modupe, J.M. Jibrin, . Olabanji, B. Lawan, D. Madukwe |
