1. USE OF DRONE IN PRECISION AGRICULTURE IN SENEGAL In 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. Rainwater Harvesting and Nutrient Intensification in Maize-Legume Farming Systems in Semi-Arid Zimbabwe Agricultural productivity in Zimbabwe is declining mainly due to climate change and inherently poor soil fertility. The situation is worsened by the high cost of fertilizers beyond the reach of many smallholder farmers. In response to these challenges, most smallholder farmers are implementing either rainwater harvesting (RWH) or integrated soil fertility management (ISFM). This study sought to investigate the role of integrating the tied-contour RWH (TC-RWH) technique and ISFM on soil moisture,... E. Mutsamba-magwaza, D. Nyamayevu, G. Nyamadzawo, R. Mandumbu, I.
