1. Biochar and/or Compost for Soil Quality and Maize Yield Improvement in an Acidic Ferralsol Soil in Kenya. The rapidly increasing global population, climate change and dwindling resources have made it very difficult to meet global food demand. To address the issue of food insecurity, sustainable intensification of agriculture (SIA) has been proposed. However, the consequences of poorly managed agricultural intensification can negatively affect the ecosystem. Biochar and compost application has been widely recommended as a highly promising soil fertility replenishment option to promote sustainable agriculture....
2. Estimating soil organic carbon from cell phone images Soil organic matter (SOM) is considered as the backbone of soil health and soil quality. Thus, its’ estimation is critical to support the development of management decision including precision agriculture. To overcome challenges of laborious, rather expensive and time-consuming laboratory measurements, recent advances in image acquisition systems provided a new dimension of image-based SOM prediction. However, challenges remain in using soil images taken directly in the field due to variable... A. Biswas, Y. Fu, P. Taneja, S. Lin, P. Daggupati, H. Vasava Download paper
3. LAND DEGRADATON RISK ASSESSMENT AT A SITE IN AFIJIO LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF OYO STATE, NIGERIA Soils are considered non –renewable and it is a limited resource therefore the continuous use of land without appropriate management practices leads to land degradation in the long run. Land degradation is the decline in soil quality caused by natural factors or, more often, by improper use/management usually for agricultural, pastoral or urban purposes. This study aims to map the soils while also assessing the state of land degradation in Afijio Local government area of Oyo state. The study...
