1. USE OF DRONE IN PRECISION AGRICULTURE IN SENEGALIn Senegal more precisely in the valley of the Senegal River, we have introduced drones for use in precision agriculture. These Drones are used in phytosanitary treatment and fertilizer spreading. Thus we also test in the monitoring of plots, in particular to detect deficiencies in fertilizer, stresses and diseases. We have started with some producers in the treatment of rice plots with post-emergence herbicide and the results have been satisfactory, even going as far as a reduction in the doses... O. Aidara |
2. A precision irrigation app for smart water management by farmersIn a context of climate change and water scarcity which is globally recognized, Morocco is one of the countries that are facing already insufficient water supply for irrigation in order to sustain productivity and food security. Therefore, there is a strong need for adapting agricultural practices and developing new technologies for efficient and smart irrigation management to make best use of available water and maximize productivity per unit of consumed water. Recent studies have shown that... A. Abouabdillah , R. Bouabid |
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. Modelling Fertigation and Micro-Climate Parameters for Greenhouse Tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum L.)Amidst the hiking price of fertilizer and projected water scarcity across the world, it is imperative to explore the interaction between fertilizer, irrigation and genotype notwithstanding the micro-climate parameters so as to maximize yield while protecting the environment. The Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) is a model which employs all these input factors to help predict yield and thereby make an informed decision. The study sort to calibrate and validate the... Y.K. Agbemabiese, P. Abubakari, P.K. Dzomeku, I. Shaibu |
