1. Excellence in Agronomy 2030: A new CGIAR-wide initiative to deliver agronomy solutions at scaleRequired increases in crop production and productivity in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) will not happen without the increased use of appropriate agronomic practices. While several thousand new varieties of nearly all key crops have been produced in the past decade, recent increases in yields in specific countries have only happened when such varieties received the right agro-inputs and management. That said, agronomy is often highlighted as an area that has not delivered impact at scale in SSA, or... B. Vanlauwe, T. Amede, F. Baudron, P. Chivenge, M. Devare, K. Saito, J. Kihara, V. Nangia, P.

2. Mapping spatial variability of soil nutrient deficiencies in smallholder villages – a prerequisite for improved crop production in AfricaSmallholder farming is the dominating type of agricultural production in many parts of Africa. If cultivation practices can be adapted to match the specific needs of individual smallholder plots, this can certainly be regarded as a form of precision agriculture (PA), considering their limited size. A fundamental prerequisite for successful application of PA is the availability of basic information on soil properties at a detailed enough level. To fill yield gaps, site specific information must... M. Söderström, K. Piikki, J. Kihara, J. Mutua, J. Wetterlind |
3. détermination du bilan minéral partiel des exploitations agricoles à base du coton à l’aide du modèle NUTMONLa dégradation des sols des exploitations agricoles constitue ces dernières années une des causes principales des baisses de rendements au champ. A cet effet, la détermination quantitative des éléments nutritifs des sols cultivés peut contribuer à concevoir des stratégies de gestion durable de la fertilité de ces sols. C’est dans cette optique que 30 exploitations agricoles à base de coton ont été... A. Komlan, K. Kokou zovodu, A. Bassarou, G. Esso-iheyou, P. Justin |
