1. Excellence in Agronomy 2030: A new CGIAR-wide initiative to deliver agronomy solutions at scale Required increases in crop production and productivity in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) will not happen without the increased use of appropriate agronomic practices. While several thousand new varieties of nearly all key crops have been produced in the past decade, recent increases in yields in specific countries have only happened when such varieties received the right agro-inputs and management. That said, agronomy is often highlighted as an area that has not delivered impact at scale in SSA, or... B. Vanlauwe, T. Amede, F. Baudron, P. Chivenge, M. Devare, K. Saito, J. Kihara, V. Nangia, P.

2. Mapping spatial variability of soil nutrient deficiencies in smallholder villages – a prerequisite for improved crop production in Africa Smallholder farming is the dominating type of agricultural production in many parts of Africa. If cultivation practices can be adapted to match the specific needs of individual smallholder plots, this can certainly be regarded as a form of precision agriculture (PA), considering their limited size. A fundamental prerequisite for successful application of PA is the availability of basic information on soil properties at a detailed enough level. To fill yield gaps, site specific information must... M. Söderström, K. Piikki, J. Kihara, J. Mutua, J. Wetterlind Download paper
3. Autonomous Hexacopter Spraying drones for plants protection Abbes KAILIL1, Hassan BENAOUDA2, Abdelhakim MOHCINE3, 1 Eng.

Farming technologies have considerably... H. Benaouda, A. Mohsine, A. Kailil Download paper
4. Potentials of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for the Nigerian Agriculture The continuous development of technology is driving the invention of new machineries such as the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), also known as “drones”. The UAVs have become much more popular within the last decade for its significant roles in agriculture among other industries, yet their applications in Nigeria are yet to be appreciated. Therefore, the present study reviewed the characteristics and multiple uses of UAVs in agriculture and their potentials for the Nigerian... M. Kabir, S. Ekici Download paper
