1. Small Machinery for Sustainable Intensification of Crop-Livestock System under Biomass ShortageSmall 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.

2. Chlorophyll Meter Based Precision Nitrogen Management in Maize Grown in Alluvial Soil in EgyptPrecision nitrogen (N) management is essential for profitable crop production and to minimize N losses to the environment that are a consequence of an excessive N supply. Chlorophyll meter-based N management can help to achieve high N use efficiency, as aquick and non-destructive spectral characteristics of leaves, which can be used to diagnose plant N deficiency and graduate N fertilization with improve N use efficiency. Field experiments were conducted during two consecutive years, 2019 and... A. Soaud, S. Abou-zeid , A. Ali, D. Hassan |
3. 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.
