1. Water Application Efficiency of an Ultisol in Response to Climate Change in Two Agroecological Zones of Nigeria Irrigation and fertilizer application are management practices farmers have adopted to increase food production for the growing population. This has improved crop nutrient absorption and the efficiency of fertilizer applied to the soil. This is essential to reduce plant water stress in a climate changing environment. This study investigated and compared water application efficiency under manual sprinkler irrigation with capillary irrigation method on ultisols located in rainforest and derived... I.A. Egbebi, D.J.

2. Lime and Phosphorus Effects on Soil Acidity and Malt Barley Phosphorus Use Efficiency in Welmera District, Central Highlands of Ethiopia In Ethiopia, about 43% of total arable land affected by soil acidity. Furthermore, phosphorus (P) deficiency is a major constraint to increase crop yields. Efforts to ameliorate the deleterious effects of soil acidity must therefore be accompanied by measures to increase P availability in soils. Therefore, appropriate rate of lime and P fertilizer is an important strategy for improving crop growth in acidic soils. Accordingly, an experiment was undertaken to study lime and P effects on soil acidity... N.T. Geremew, B.B. Waraka, L.W. Mirkena Download paper
3. The Use of Precision Agriculture Tools to Monitor the Growth Performance of Pineapple in Different Soil Management Systems Pineapple production is important in Ghana as a source of food, raw material for industry and foreign exchange from export, especially to the European Union (EU) market. In Ghana, pineapple growth and yield assessment are done with field-based measurements and chemometric methods in laboratories, but, collecting primary data in this way is time-consuming, costly, and laborious. Moreover, there are few technically skilled people with specialization in rigorous laboratory methods, and information... E. Hanyabui
4. Strengthening the Knowledge Base for Sustainable Management of Inland Valleys in West Africa: Two Pilot Case Study Sites from Benin. Inland valleys offer a unique opportunity for increasing food security in West-Africa, but their potential is constrained by poor water management and a limited hydrological understanding. Increasing the hydrological understanding of inland valleys should be based on long term and detailed validated observations of hydrological fluxes in the different components of the inland valleys. We present in this study, two new pilot case study sites which aim observing the long-term dynamics of water... M.A. Tidjani, P.G. Tovihoudji, I.P. Akponikpe, M. Vanclooster
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. Use of Earth Observation Imagery, Advanced Modelling Algorithms and Other Monitoring Systems to Produce Operational Agricultural Annual Crop Inventories for Morocco. African farmers are facing the challenges of a changing climate, increased temperatures, changes in rainfall patterns, more frequent extreme weather events and reductions in water availability. The digital transformation of the agricultural sector is one of the opportunities that can promote good practices of the African agricultural through the sharing of information and tools for decision-making, thereby, boost economic growth of our African country. The shift to digital technologies is... M. Choukri, A. Laamrani , V. simonneaux , B. Gerard , S. Belaqziz, A. Chehbouni, K. Misbah, H. Mcnairn
