1. Spatial Interpolation for Mapping Hydraulic Soil Properties in GIS Environment Soil water information is an essential input for environmental, hydrological or land surface models. There is a need for reliable soil water information with current coverage in the area. A number of 60 soil profiles data were evaluated for the performance of estimates inverse distance weighting to map some of the soil quality properties. soil profiles were used for the application of geostatistics. Maps with the investigated coverage were produced with the soil information available about soil... M.A. Abdelrahman, A.M. Saleh, M.M. El sharkawy, E. Farg, S.M. Arafat
2. Estimating greensnap yield damage with canopy reflectance: a case study Grain yield reduction caused by storm-induced plant breakage (green snap) occurs often in corn fields. With climate change and an increasing frequency in the occurrence of extreme weather events, it is essential to develop methods that can accurately estimate green snap damage, so growers can be properly compensated by insurance companies for yield loss. Because plant breakage also affects crop canopy reflectance, this case study aimed to characterize the changes in crop canopy reflectance... G. Dias paiao, T.J. Nigon, F.G. Fernández, C. Cummings, S.L. Naeve
3. Small Machinery for Sustainable Intensification of Crop-Livestock System under Biomass Shortage Small crop-livestock systems in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC) such as North African ones are characterized by low mechanization levels, thus undermining their productivity and sustainability. Machinery being promoted in local markets are made and imported mostly from industrial countries where farm systems are larger in terms of size. Prices of these machines are not affordable for small to medium sized land-holding farmers who remain incapable of upgrading and modernizing their farming... U. Rudiger, Z. Aidoudi, A. Frija, M.
