1. Comparative fertilization effects on maize productivity under conservation and conventional tillage on sandy soils in a smallholder cropping system in ZimbabweLow crop yields, food insecurity and abject rural poverty continue to be rampant in much of Southern Africa. Components of conservation agriculture (CA) are being widely promoted in southern Africa as one of the strategies to increase food security and mitigate rural poverty, despite there being scarce empirical evidence on their efficacy on degraded soils. This research aimed to assess the effects of tillage systems on maize grain yields under rain-fed conditions across a soil organic matter... R. Chikowo, S. Zingore, N. Kafesu |
2. An Open Source Multispectral Camera for Crop MonitoringPrecision agriculture is one of the most important economic issues of the 21st century because it will make it possible to respond to the new challenges of agriculture, which are population growth, global warming, global epidemics, and inflation, to name a few. Remote sensing makes it possible to monitor the plantation from a distance and makes it possible to know the level of growth and the state of health and hydration of the plants. This paper outlines an affordable and open-source multispectral... H. Nardjes, M. Yagoubi |
3. Chlorophyll Meter Based Precision Nitrogen Management in Maize Grown in Alluvial Soil in EgyptPrecision nitrogen (N) management is essential for profitable crop production and to minimize N losses to the environment that are a consequence of an excessive N supply. Chlorophyll meter-based N management can help to achieve high N use efficiency, as aquick and non-destructive spectral characteristics of leaves, which can be used to diagnose plant N deficiency and graduate N fertilization with improve N use efficiency. Field experiments were conducted during two consecutive years, 2019 and... A. Soaud, S. Abou-zeid , A. Ali, D. Hassan |
4. Comparative Study on Precision Nitrogen Management for Wheat Using Greenseeker, Chlorophyll Meter and Leaf Color Chart Based on Spectral Characteristics of LeavesCollecting results on nitrogen (N) uptake throughout the growing season using tools such as GreenSeeker optical sensor, chlorophyll meter and Leaf Color Chart (LCC) holds great promise for optimizing N fertilizer management in cereal crops. To investigate this further, field experiments were conducted over two consecutive winter seasons (2017/2018 and 2018/2019) on wheat at the Experimental Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University, located in Giza Governorate, Egypt. The primary objective... A. Soaud, E. El-metwally , A. Ali, R. Sayed |
