1. Feasibility studies on developing farmer friendly rapid in-situ evaluation technique for soil quality in cocoa planation based on pocket-sized near-infrared spectroscopy and chemometrics Rapid and in-situ determination of soil quality holds a brighter potential for improving food security, food quality and minimizing waste of excessive application of soil amendments with its effect of pollution. In this study a pocket-sized NIR spectroscopy (740 -1070 nm) and chemometrics coupled with mobile phone was used to predict nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), pH and calcium (Ca2+) in cocoa plantation soils in Ghana. Different partial least square algorithms (Full...
2. Spatial variability and mapping of selected soil quality indicators for precision farming at a smallholding level in Minna, Nigeria Smallholding farmers in Nigeria still practice blanket application of fertilizers, without giving consideration to spatial variations in soil properties across their fields. Understanding of spatial variability in soil properties is essential for precision farming, especially in this era of resource scarcity and high cost of fertilizers. This study was carried out to assess and map the spatial variability in selected soil quality indicators in a smallholder farm in Minna, North-central Nigeria,... B. Lawal, M.K. Adeboye, P.A.

3. Monitoring irrigation water use at large scale irrigated areas using remote sensing in water scarce environment Increasing pressure on available water resources in semi-arid region will affect the availability of water for irrigated agriculture. In this context, adoption of innovative and cost-effective tools for water management and analysis of water use patterns in irrigated areas is required for an efficient and sustainable use of water resources. This study aims to evaluate a remote sensing-based approach which allows estimation of the temporal and spatial distribution of crop evapotranspiration... M. Kharrou, V. Simonneaux, M. Le page, S.
