1. IMPACT OF SENSOR-BASED PRECISION NITROGEN MANAGEMENT ON WHEAT YIELD AND NITROGEN USE EFFICIENCYOptical sensors are promising new technology for precision nitrogen management in crops. Fertilizer N management for wheat (Cultivar: Giza 171) using optical sensor (GreenSeeker®) was evaluated at the Experimental Farm of Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University, Giza Governorate, Egypt. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications during two successive winter seasons (2017/2018 and 2018/2019) to quantify the relationship between N uptake at jointing growth...

2. Comparative Assesement of Interpolation Techniques in Predicting Soil Properties on a Sloping Pasture Land Under Fallow in a Ferralsol in UgandaSoil variability is a major challenge in application of mineral fertilizers in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Use of soil fertility maps can effectively guide the use of mineral or organic fertilizers or fertilizers. Interpolation techniques are widely used in the formulation of these fertility maps. The precision of spatial interpolation techniques for predicting unmeasured values have been reported by various researchers but there are cconflicting findings regarding the relative performance of these...

3. Integrated Packages Incorporating Reduced Tillage, Residue Retention and Cropping System Influence Green Gram Growth and YieldReduced tillage, residue retention and intercropping are factors influencing how rain fed systems of cropping are productive as well as sustainable. Green gram as well as sorghum is the main crops grown by small-scale who have insufficient resources, and the produce is used for home consumption. A field experiment was conducted to evaluate green gram crop response to reduced tillage, residue retention and intercropping with sorghum in the dry-lands environments in Kenya. The aim of the study was... B.O. Orwa |
