1. Spatial variability and mapping of selected soil quality indicators for precision farming at a smallholding level in Minna, Nigeria Smallholding farmers in Nigeria still practice blanket application of fertilizers, without giving consideration to spatial variations in soil properties across their fields. Understanding of spatial variability in soil properties is essential for precision farming, especially in this era of resource scarcity and high cost of fertilizers. This study was carried out to assess and map the spatial variability in selected soil quality indicators in a smallholder farm in Minna, North-central Nigeria,... B. Lawal, M.K. Adeboye, P.A.

2. Nutrient management tailored to smallholder agriculture enhances productivity and sustainability Plant nutrition plays a central role in the global challenge to produce sufficient and nutritious food, lessen rural poverty, and reduce the environmental footprint of crop production. Efficient fertilizer use requires tailored solutions that are scientifically sound, practical and scalable especially for smallholder farmers, such as the crop-led site-specific nutrient management (SSNM) approach developed in the 1990s for cereal production systems in Asia to address variability among farms. Originating... P. Chivenge, K. Saito, M. Bunquin, S. Sharma, A. Dobermann Download paper
3. Imagining Precision Farming in Africa Africa needs its own and unique Green Revolution now, but it can also take advantage of many lessons learned all over the world. Precision farming is much more than the application of advanced, expensive technologies for managing soils and crops on a commercial scale. In the African context, it is all about better agronomy at any scale, including small and medium-size farms. Many ingredients for that exist already, whereas others still need to find their way into scalable business solutions... A. Dobermann
4. Assessment of Nitrogen and Phosphorus Content (NP) in Citrus Trees Using UAV-imagery Derived Vegetation Indices and Machine Learning Algorithms Monitoring 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.

5. Photogrammetrically Assessed Smallholder Pineapple Fields in Ghana Using Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Ultra-high-resolution imagery taken by small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS, drones) has been proven beneficial for the monitoring of agricultural crops in conventional farming especially in the context of precision farming. For smallholder pineapple cultivation, the use of sUAS imagery is still sparsely evaluated. However, technical developments in low cost sUAS-sensor combinations make assessments of agricultural areas by service providers more and more affordable for Africa. In this study,... M. Hobart, E.

6. The Global Crop Nutrient Removal Database (Gcnrd): Development, Initial Analysis and Identification of Current Data Gaps Improved understanding of the factors affecting nutrient uptake can enable production optimization, increased nutrient use efficiencies, reduced environmental footprints, and overall higher economic returns for farmers. Crop uptake is affected by genetics, soil, weather, agronomic practices, and their interactions. As such, understanding the way crop nutrient uptake varies across different regions and production environments requires the coverage of various parameters, and necessitates collaboration... C.
