1. La fertilité indigène du sol : un élément catalyseur de l’agriculture de précisionDans le contexte actuel de la dégradation des ressources naturelles et des problèmes de disponibilité et d'accessibilité des intrants agricoles, l'agriculture de précision dont le point d'entrée est la connaissance de la fertilité endogène du sol s'impose. Des essais soustractifs ont été conduits pendant deux ans (2018-2019) à la Station d'Expérimentations Agronomiques de l'Université... K. William, J. Sogbedji, M. Lare |
2. Potential precision agriculture practices for higher fruit and vegetable production in West Africa: A ReviewDuring the last decades, efforts have been made to increase the yield and the quality of major fruits and vegetables but still, farmers mainly those in West African countries are struggling to close the yield gap. Precision agriculture has been reported in most developed countries as a set of tools integrating information and technologies for efficient crop production. Over the decades, scholars have been skeptical about the development and implementation of precision agriculture in West Africa... V. Fassinou hotegni, L.W. Azonhoumon, E.G. Achigan-dako |
3. Engaging Stakeholders in Precision Agriculture Toolbox Conception: Case of Cowpea Atlas Platform Establishment in Benin RepublicCowpea [(Vigna Unguiculata (L.) Walpers] is among the most preferred and consumed legumes in West Africa and grown by many smallholder farmers. The crop has huge potential, is easy to grow and constitute a source of income of many actors involved in different value chains. Unfortunately, despite many interventions which aimed at promoting the crop in West Africa mainly Benin, areas under cowpea crop decrease over the years along with the loss of cowpea-based products. Such problem is... N.V. Fassinou hotegni, Y.L. Godonou, L.M. Gnanglè, O.N. Coulibaly, E.G. Achigan-dako |
4. Optimizing Water Use Efficiency in Flood Irrigation Systems in UgandaThere is growing demand for water across different sectors of production. Yet the extent of water wastage to furnish inefficient irrigation systems especially in flood irrigated rice systems, is not known. In developing countries and in Uganda particularly, most irrigation scheduling in the irrigation schemes is based on rotational system rather than crop water needs. In Doho Rice Irrigation Scheme (DRIS) in eastern Uganda for example, farmers’ plots receive up to 50mm ponding of irrigation... P. Onen, E. Opolot, G. Olupot, G. Aguttu |
5. Soil Moisture Sensing for Increased Water Use Efficiency and Crop Yields in Furrow Irrigated Systems: a Case of Mubuku Irrigation Scheme in UgandaWater and nutrient use efficiencies remain low in most of the irrigated systems in developing countries, undermining crop productivity in these areas. This is partly due to lack of precise and site-specific information to guide irrigation scheduling. In most cases information on soil properties and crop water requirements is lacking and thus irrigation scheduling is done on rotational basis whether the crop needs water or not. Consequently, the amount of water stored in soil root zone for crop... E. Opolot, D. Besigye, P. Musinguzi, I.N. Alou, T.A. Basamba, G. Olupot |
6. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for Phenotypic Traits Estimation & Yellow Rust Disease Severity Assessment in Small-scale Wheat Breeding Trials in EthiopiaRemote Sensing (RS) platforms; like the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are recently gaining traction in agricultural data collection systems and used for various phenotyping of breeding field trials and capturing different biophysical, biochemical and sanitary traits which can be used to predict and explain the resulting yield and selecting better verities. Compared to the conventional phenotyping usually done by visual scoring and manual measurements which is time consuming/back breakings, susceptible... T. Anberbir, G. Mamo , A. Dabi |
7. Recommandation De Formules De Fertilisation Site-spécifique Pour La Production Du Maïs Dans La Région Des Savanes Du TogoDans 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.

8. Variability in Yield Response of Maize to N, P and K Fertilization Towards Site-specific Nutrient Recommendations in Two Maize Belts in TogoLes régions de savane et du centre sont les principales zones de production de maïs au Togo, mais avec des rendements en grains de maïs à un seuil de seulement 1,5 Mg ha -1 . Nous utilisons une approche participative pour évaluer l'importance des trois principaux macro-éléments (N, P et K) pour la culture du maïs dans les deux régions afin de permettre davantage de recommandations d'engrais spécifiques au site et...

9. Maximisation De L’efficience D’utilisation Des Nutriments : Recommandation De Fertilisation à La Carte Pour Le Maïs Sur Les Ferralsols Du Sud-togoL'amélioration de la nutrition des plantes à travers l'agriculture de précision devient incontournable pour l'optimisation de l'entreprise agricole et la protection de l'environnement. 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)...

10. Fine-tuning Specialty Fertilization Strategies to Local Wheat Production Through On-farm Experimentation in NigeriaWheat specialty fertilizer validation trial was conducted in 8 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Kano State, Nigeria on farmers field. The specialty fertilizer validation project is implemented to improve the productivity and profitability of small-scale wheat smallholder farmers. Four treatments - absolute control (AC), local control (LC), OCP1 and OCP2 were replicated four times in a RCBD on a plot of 25m2. The AC was based on the indigenous nutrient supply from the soil (no application... V. Aduramigba-modupe, J.M. Jibrin, . Olabanji, B. Lawan, D. Madukwe |
11. A Synopsis of Water and Nutrient Requirements of Hass Avocado for Uganda and Sub-saharan Africa PractitionersHass avocado production is increasing in Uganda and sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) to tap into the lucrative market especially in Western Europe, China, Japan, and Russia. However, there is limited information about its water and nutrient requirements in end-user-friendly formats especially in Uganda and SSA. We consolidated the scanty information about water and nutrient requirements of Hass avocado and made necessary recalculations and unit conversions to aid meaningful uptake of the information by...

12. Capacity Building of African Young Scientists in Precision Agriculture Through Cross Regional Academic MobilityClimate 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.
