1. Determining Nutrients rates for Maize, Rice, Cotton, and Tomato in Dry Savannah zone of Togo based on site specific nutrient management approachInadequate fertilizer application limits crop yields and lead to the soil fertility depletion. This study aims at formulating nutrients rates recommendations for main the crops in dry savannah zone of Togo. Site specific nutrient management approach based on spatial variations in nutrients status, crops nutrients requirement and average crop yields under field conditions was used to determine recommendations rates in N, P and K. For maize cropping, nutrients needs are 94 kgN.ha-1, 42... |
2. Nutrient Quality Studies of Fluted Pumpkin (Telfairia Occidentalis Hook. F) Leaves as Influence by Fertilizer Micro-dosing and TimeThe nutrient qualities of vegetables have been noted to be affected by agronomic practices. The study evaluated the effect of fertilizer micro-dosing and time of application on nutrient quality of fluted pumpkin. The field experiment was carried out during 2017/2018 cropping season at the Teaching and Research Farm, Obafemi Awolowo University (O.A.U), Ile-Ife, situated within the forest zone (latitude 070 28’N and longitude 040 33’East and 224 m above sea level). The experiment was... |
3. Does the combination of conservation agriculture and fertilizer microdosing improve soil chemical properties in semi-arid Zimbabwe in the short term?Crop yields in the fragile semi-arid areas of Zimbabwe have been declining over time due to decline in soil fertility resulting mainly from droughts and lack of fertilizers. However, conservation agriculture (CA) and fertilizer micro-dosing (MD) have the potential to sustainably improve crop yields. A field experiment was set-up to assess the effects of integrating CA and MD on soil quality. It was hypothesized that the two practices improve soil chemical properties (soil organic carbon (SOC),... A. Shumba |
4. Cartographie interactive des exploitations de noix de cajou des producteurs de la coopérative COPRODIGO de GohitaflaL’agriculture a connu de profondes mutations : la spécialisation, la réduction de la main d’œuvre agricole, la mécanisation croissante. Ces dernière années, l'intégration des technologies de l'information et de la communication dans la gestion des exploitations agricoles a donné naissance à l'agriculture de précision. Ces innovations technologiques permettent de piloter et d’optimiser les principales... S. Koné |
5. A Suitability Approach for Land Assessment of New Reclamation Areas Using GeomaticsThe study aims to develop a system to assess land suitability for agriculture use in the Arid Western Fringes of the Nile Delta. This is based on the fact that the selection of optimal sites for agricultural use is a prerequisite for productive operation and economic feasibility. This is especially true in arid regions due to the scarcity of such suitable land. New approach was implemented to use environmental and terrestrial factors; i.e., criteria of soil characteristics, climate and salinity... A.M. saleh, S.M. Arafat, M.A. Abdelrahman |
