1. Precision Farming Technology to Increase Soil and Crop Productivity in Egypt Using Remote Sensing and GISPrecision farming or site-specific land management is a new approach for development the agriculture processes to increase the soil and crop productivity with saving efforts and costs. Precision farming includes many techniques such as Global Position Systems (GPS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS), Yield Monitors, Internet of Things (IOT), Variable Rate Application (VRA), Yield Mapping, Site-Specific Management Zones (SSMZ) and Crop Modeling. SSMZ delineation can be improved... A. Belal, M. Elsayed , M.E. Jalhoum, M. abdelatif , E. Hendawy , M. Emam, M. Zahran |
2. Maize-cowpea intercropping as an ecological intensification option for low input systems in sub-humid Zimbabwe: productivity, biological N2-fixation and grain mineral content.Poor soil fertility and erratic rainfall constrain crop production in rain-fed smallholder farming systems in sub-Saharan Africa. Integration of cowpea, a drought tolerant and N2-fixing crop into maize-based cropping systems is a risk-averse strategy that also improves N cycling. A field experiment was carried out during 2017/18 and 2018/19 cropping seasons in Zimbabwe to assess the effect of intercropping and fertilizer micro doses on productivity, N2-fixation and grain mineral content....

3. Spatial soil loss risk assessment for proper intervention: a case of Neri watershed in Omo Gibe basin, Southwestern EthiopiaSoil erosion is one of the biggest global environmental problems resulting in both on-site and offsite effects. It contributes negatively to agricultural production, quality of source water for drinking, ecosystem health in land and aquatic environments, and aesthetic value of landscapes. This study was conducted in Neri watershed, part of Omo Gibe basin with area of 465.46 km2. RUSLE model supported by a GIS framework is used to assess the average annual soil loss, and create a soil erosion hazard... A. Hegano |

5. High Resolution Mapping of Long-Term Soil Organic Carbon Stocks and Changes in MoroccoSoil organic carbon (SOC) as a major part of the soil organic matter (SOM) is important for soil productivity stability and climate change mitigation. Current regional SOC maps are not detailed enough and thus, do not support decision-making at farm and landscape and do not track carbon long-term changes. Using large soil dataset, multispectral satellite data, climate data and machine learning , we created a high-resolution topsoil (0-30cm) map of Morocco and estimated the... B. Gerrard, E.
