1. Spatial variability and mapping of selected soil quality indicators for precision farming at a smallholding level in Minna, NigeriaSmallholding 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. Tsado |
2. Decision Support System for Precision Agriculture management Case study : El Salihiya –east Nile delta, Egypt.Soil is a complex mixture of living organisms and organic material, along with soil minerals. the main objective of this work is develop a new methods to improve the agricultural management .The current study relies on developing a decision-making model for agricultural operations to manage potato crops in the El Salihiya area using field data,laboratory analysis and field sensor measurements. The precision agriculture decision support system entitled (EGYPADS) was designed and developed... A. Belal , S. abd el-kader, B. Mamdouh , M. A el-shirbeny, M. abdellatif1, M. Jalhoum , M.

3. Soil fertility mapping of Dry savannah zone of TogoIncreasing agricultural productivity and therefore the production requires a good knowledge of the soil fertility status and a sustainable nutrients management. The objective of this study is to map spatial distribution of some selected soil fertility parameters in the dry savannah agro-ecological zone that covers the regions of Savanes and Kara in Togo. Soil fertility parameters such as pH, available phosphorus (P), exchangeable potassium (K) and organic matter were determined in soil samples... K.K. Ganyo, K.A. Ablede , K. Koudjega, S. Ani, K.

4. Some essential nutrients, active limestone and pH status of north and center Tunisian soils.Tunisia is a North African country characterized by a Mediterranean climate in the north and Saharan climate in the south part of the country, which resulted in a high geo-morphological diversity of its soils. The last are known by their various fertility status that is affected by abiotic constrains such as salinity, drought, erosion and low organic matter concentration. Thereby, soil fertility is largely linked to geographical position, making fertilization recommendation... A. Hachana, I. Hemissi, I. Achour, A. Souissi, B. Sifi |
5. Self-developed Small Robot for Tomato Plants DetectionA mobile (robot) measuring station for tomato plant detection has been developed, equipped with different sensors and a self-developed hardware and software background. The development aims are the applications in precision crop production: artificial intelligence- based detection, imaging, data collection, automation, and remote sensing. The robot is fault- free in field conditions and is therefore a key development tool for precision farming and digital agriculture. The measurement system developed... B. Ambrus, G. Teschner, M.

6. Photogrammetrically Assessed Smallholder Pineapple Fields in Ghana Using Small Unmanned Aircraft SystemsUltra-high-resolution imagery taken by small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS, drones) has been proven beneficial for the monitoring of agricultural crops in conventional farming especially in the context of precision farming. For smallholder pineapple cultivation, the use of sUAS imagery is still sparsely evaluated. However, technical developments in low cost sUAS-sensor combinations make assessments of agricultural areas by service providers more and more affordable for Africa. In this study,... M. Hobart, E.

7. Smart Agriculture As a Tool to Face Climate Change Negative Impacts on Egyptian AgricultureIt is well known and frequently reported that the developing countries are not responsible on most of the greenhouse gas emissions, while the industrial countries are. In the meanwhile, climate change impact is reported to be more severe on the south latitudes than on the north. The impact of climate change on agriculture south of Mediterranean are: Increase in temperature that affect plant growth and planting dates of crops Increased temperature will increase... A.
