1. Digital platforms for boosting farmer knowledge: Two case studies in Kenya and UgandaApproximately 80% of all farms in Africa, or 33 million farms, are two hectares or less in size. Many of these smallholder farmers do not have access to resources, including extension services, to improve their farms. Lack of knowledge of Good Agronomic Practices (GAPs) causes farmers to fail to reach their full yield potential. Extension workers responsible to provide these GAPs to farmers are spread thin. For example, as of March of 2019, there was one extension worker for every 1,800 coffee... E. Bakirdjian, T. Harigaya, M. Osia, J. Zhu, J. Abuli |
2. Analysis, design and development of a web and mobile application for fertilizer olive orchards recommendationsFarmer’s fertilization practices (FFP) in olive intensive or super intensive orchards must be improved to a better control of fertilization costs, to increase olive yielding, to maintain soil fertility and to avoid environment pollution. Indeed, a large category of fertilizer users apply fertilizers arbitrary (66%) without any knowledge about the adequate nutrient requirements of a such planting system. To improve the FFP in intensive and super intensive olive orchards, and in the frame... A. Larbi, H. Boulal, H. El arbi, W. Ben hamouda |
3. Assessment of Nitrogen and Phosphorus Content (NP) in Citrus Trees Using UAV-imagery Derived Vegetation Indices and Machine Learning AlgorithmsMonitoring nutrient status of citrus trees is fundamental to ensure optimum fruit yield and quality. However, this task is traditionally time-consuming and laborious. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), with their high temporal and spatial resolution imagery, are demonstrating a great potential to substitute traditional methods in assessing nutrient status of several crops, including citrus. In this study, we evaluated the performance of vegetation indices (VIs) derived from UAV multispectral images... Z. Abail, H. Benaouda, M. Chikhaoui, H. Benyahia, O. Iben halima, M. Baraka, A.
