1. Effect of Plant Population and Nitrogen Rate on Growth and Yield of Two Pre-release rice varieties in Kenya The 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.

2. Comparative fertilization effects on maize productivity under conservation and conventional tillage on sandy soils in a smallholder cropping system in Zimbabwe Low crop yields, food insecurity and abject rural poverty continue to be rampant in much of Southern Africa. Components of conservation agriculture (CA) are being widely promoted in southern Africa as one of the strategies to increase food security and mitigate rural poverty, despite there being scarce empirical evidence on their efficacy on degraded soils. This research aimed to assess the effects of tillage systems on maize grain yields under rain-fed conditions across a soil organic matter... R. Chikowo, S. Zingore, N. Kafesu Download paper
3. ASSESSMENT OF THE AGRONOMIC EFFECTIVENESS OF DIFFERENT PHOSPHATE AMENDMENT-BASED OF MOROCCO PHOSPHATE ROCK (PR) AND WATER SOLUBLE TRIPLE SUPERPHOSPHATE (TSP) FERTILIZER ON RICE LOWLAND YIELD IN ACIDS SOILS OF WEST AFRICA HUMID ZONE The purpose of this study was to test the agronomic effectiveness of different types of phosphates amendments based of Morroco phosphate rock (PR) and of triple super phosphate (TSP) on rice yield in acidic soils. Soils which pH were very low to low acidic (pH <6) were selected in three agroecological zones : Man, Gagnoa and Bouaké. The following eight treatments resulting to the combinaison of differents proportions of PR and TSP were implemented on-field before planting rice: Absolute... A. Bongoua-devisme
