1. Keynote 3 - Setting the Record Straight on Precision Agriculture Adoption Adoption of precision agriculture (PA) around the world has been uneven. Some PA technologies have been the most rapidly adopted agricultural technologies in history and others have lagged. Among the disappointments is variable rate fertilizer, which was among the first PA technologies, but has become standard practice only for some farming niches. PA is a tool box – Farmers take the tools that they need and leave the rest. For example, in countries with mechanized... J. Lowenberg-deboer
2. 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.

3. Productivity and Profitability of Maize (Zea Mays L.) As Affected by Planting and Fertilization Schemes on the Ferralsols of Southern Togo A sustainable improvement of crop productivity and profitability in the current context of climate change and land degradation is necessary to meet the food and cash needs of a ceaselessly growing population. In order to help achieve this aim, we carried out a 2-year experiment (2020 and 2021) at the University of Lomé Agronomic Experiment Station. The experiment was set up in a split-plot design, composed of eight (08) treatments in three (03) replicates each. Two planting schemes (SC1=... M. Mazinagou, M.J. Sogbedji, A.

4. Determination of Major Limiting Nutrients and Site-specific Fertilizer Recommendation Towards Optimizing Rice Production in the Irrigated Perimeter of the Zio Valley (Togo) Adoption of appropriate inorganic fertilization schemes is essential to improving fertilizer use efficiency and crop performance. This study aims to contribute to the improvement of rice yields in the irrigated perimeter of the Zio Valley in Togo through appropriate inorganic fertilization. Nutrient omission trials were set up during November 2020 to March 2021 and May to September 2021, with producers identified in the four (04) villages (Mission Tove, Ziowonou, Kovie and Assome) located in the...

5. Rice Production System and Major Nutrients Balance Assessment in Rice Cropping in the Irrigated Perimeter of the Zio Valley Knowledge of cropping systems and farming practices are essential towards improving crop yields. This study aims to characterize rice production systems, analyse fertilization practices and assess the impact of irrigated rice on the balance of major nutrients in Zio valley. The characterization of production systems and fertilization practices were carried out through a survey of a sample of 192 randomly selected producers, i.e. 34% of the total number of farmers in the four (4) villages of the...

6. Recommandation De Formules De Fertilisation Site-spécifique Pour La Production Du Maïs Dans La Région Des Savanes Du Togo Dans le contexte actuel de la dégradation des terres agricoles et des difficultés de disponibilité et d'accès aux intrants agricoles en particulier les engrais, la maximisation de l'efficience d'utilisation des nutriments en nutrition des plantes devient plus que jamais une nécessité. Nous avons conduit en 2020 sous culture de maïs (Zea mays L.), des essais soustractifs à base de l'azote (N), du phosphore (P) et du potassium... M. Lare, J. Sogbedji, K. Lotsi, K. Amouzou, A.

Nous avons conduit pendant la grande saison culturelle de 2019 et 2020, sous culture de maïs (Zea mays L.), des essais soustractifs à base de l'azote (N), du phosphore (P) et du potassium (K) à la station d'expérimentations agronomiques (SEAL)...

8. A Comparative Estimation of Maize Leaf Moisture Content on Smallholder Farming Systems Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Based Proximal Remote Sensing Understanding maize moisture conditions is necessary for crop monitoring and developing early warning systems to optimise agricultural production in smallholder farms. Therefore, this study evaluated the utility of UAV derived multispectral imagery and machine learning techniques in estimating maize leaf moisture indicators; equivalent water thickness (EWT), fuel moisture content (FMC) and specific leaf area (SLA). The results illustrated that both NIR and red-edge derived spectral variables were... S. Ndlovu Download paper
9. Capacity Building of African Young Scientists in Precision Agriculture Through Cross Regional Academic Mobility Climate change is one of the main problems affecting food and nutrition globally, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Adapting to and/or mitigating climate change in the agri-food sector requires merging information technologies, genetic innovations, and sustainable farming practices to empower the agricultural youth sector to create effective and locally adapted solutions. Precision Agriculture applied to crops (PAAC), has been advocated as a strategic solution to mitigate/adapt agriculture at... K. Frimpong, V. Fassinou hotegni, A. Karangwa, A. Manyatsi, M. Amri, D.
