1. Methodology for Assessing Nutrient Status of Nigeria Croplands: AfSIS/NiSIS Pilot Project - Pathway for Precision Agriculture Mapping Inherently low soil fertility, nutrient imbalances and accelerating degradation constitute threats to precision agriculture (PA), agricultural productivity and ecosystem services in sub-Saharan Africa (Nigeria inclusive). Presently, the geographical extent of existing nutrient constraints, location specific trends and opportunities for managing these over time are highly uncertain. The AfSIS/NiSIS project assessment aims to provide spatially explicit observations, measurements and predictions... V. Aduramigba-modupe, I. Amapu, M. Walsh, B. Scott
2. 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
3. Factors Influencing Farmers’ Decisions on Timing and Application Rates of Irrigation Water in Semi-Arid Regions: A Case-Study of Mwala, Machakos County, Kenya This study investigates the factors influencing farmers’ decisions on water application in arid and semi-arid regions, where water shortages are prevalent due to low and unreliable rainfall. The research involved interviewing 41 farmers registered under the Equity Group Foundation extension scheme, focusing on their irrigation scheduling techniques, timing, application rates, and other factors such as plant and soil conditions. The study also involved laboratory analysis of soil samples... D. Mongína, C.K. Gachene, G. Kironchi Download paper
