1. 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.

2. Effect of Using Different Formulations of Fertilizers on Stomatal Conductance, Leaf Chlorophyll Fluorescence, Growth and Yield of Table Grapes Crops Grown in the Northeast of Morocco Table grapes (Vitis vinefera) present an important crop production in Morocco. The practice of tree fertilization is based on nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and micronutrients. Previous research demonstrated that using mixed fertilizers with microelements, organic matter and amino acid 4-5 times during the phonological stage improved growth and yield of different crops. The objective of a trial conducted in the region of “El GARET” on a production of 8-year-old... A. Essaihe , K. Aberkani Download paper
3. Precision Maize Nutrition: Evidences from On-farm Experimentation of Quefts Estimated Nutrient Requirement for Variable Densities in Smallholder Farmers in Ethiopia Quantitative Evaluation of the Fertility of Tropical Soils (QUEFTS) model is an important tool for estimating optimal nutrient requirement of crops. The study was conducted to evaluate QUEFTS estimated (QE) nutrient requirement of maize in two pant densities (32,443 and 53,333 plants/ha in Central Rift Valley (CRV); 27724 and 62,000 plants/ha in Jimma) on fields of three farmers wealth classes (poor, medium and wealth) in contrasting agro-ecologies of Ethiopia. QUEFTS follows a target oriented... W.B. Kenea, T.B. Tura, A.N. Woldekristos Download paper
