1. Feasibility studies on developing farmer friendly rapid in-situ evaluation technique for soil quality in cocoa planation based on pocket-sized near-infrared spectroscopy and chemometricsRapid and in-situ determination of soil quality holds a brighter potential for improving food security, food quality and minimizing waste of excessive application of soil amendments with its effect of pollution. In this study a pocket-sized NIR spectroscopy (740 -1070 nm) and chemometrics coupled with mobile phone was used to predict nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), pH and calcium (Ca2+) in cocoa plantation soils in Ghana. Different partial least square algorithms (Full... |
2. Soil fertility mapping of Dry savannah zone of TogoIncreasing agricultural productivity and therefore the production requires a good knowledge of the soil fertility status and a sustainable nutrients management. The objective of this study is to map spatial distribution of some selected soil fertility parameters in the dry savannah agro-ecological zone that covers the regions of Savanes and Kara in Togo. Soil fertility parameters such as pH, available phosphorus (P), exchangeable potassium (K) and organic matter were determined in soil samples... K.K. Ganyo, K.A. Ablede , K. Koudjega, S. Ani, K.

3. détermination du bilan minéral partiel des exploitations agricoles à base du coton à l’aide du modèle NUTMONLa dégradation des sols des exploitations agricoles constitue ces dernières années une des causes principales des baisses de rendements au champ. A cet effet, la détermination quantitative des éléments nutritifs des sols cultivés peut contribuer à concevoir des stratégies de gestion durable de la fertilité de ces sols. C’est dans cette optique que 30 exploitations agricoles à base de coton ont été... A. Komlan, K. Kokou zovodu, A. Bassarou, G. Esso-iheyou, P. Justin |
4. Rice Production System and Major Nutrients Balance Assessment in Rice Cropping in the Irrigated Perimeter of the Zio ValleyKnowledge 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...

5. IA Algorithm for Plant Counting: Palm Oil Trees ExampleCounting and estimating plants can sometimes be a real challenge. In this presentation we will see a concrete example of the application of UAV imagery and AI applied to palm cultivation in order to count the plants on a given area. ... A. Karim |
6. Post-Harvest Assessments of On-Farm Maize ExperimentationThe completion of the most recent maize-growing seasons in northern Cote d’Ivoire and Kenya (western and eastern regions) provided a first opportunity for farmers to share assessments from their participation in a new on-farm research initiative for sub-Saharan Africa called NUTCAT - meaning Nutrient-Catalyzed Agricultural Transformation. ...
