1. Spatial Interpolation for Mapping Hydraulic Soil Properties in GIS EnvironmentSoil 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. Spectral assessment of chickpea morpho-physiological traits from space, air and groundChickpea (Cicer arietinum) is an important grain legume in semi-arid regions and water-stress is a major constraint to its productivity. Area under chickpea cultivation is growing but climate change toward greater aridity results in higher precipitation instability and risks yields. The ability to assess water potential can support irrigation decisions. Thus, improved ability to spatially assess plants water status can promote more efficient irrigation. The current... I.

4. 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.

5. Fertilizer Micro-dosing on Growth and Vegetative Yield of Fluted Pumpkin (Telfairia occidentalis Hook. f)The study evaluated growth and vegetative response of fluted pumpkin (Telfairia occidentalis Hook. f) to levels and time of micro-dosing Urea fertilizer. The experiment was conducted in two growing seasons of late and early cropping seasons of 2017 and 2018 respectively at the Teaching and Research Farm of Obafemi Awolowo University. The experiment was a factorial laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications involving seasons, levels of fertilizer (0, 20,... P.A. Amao, B. Amujoyegbe, D. Oyedele |
6. Climate Smart Agriculture: Constraints, Challenges and Opportunities to Promote the System in EthiopiaAgriculture is vital to the economy of Ethiopia and its development has significant implications for food security and poverty reduction. An increase in agricultural production over the past decades has been due to land area expansion, with a modest change in production techniques and improvement in yields. Yet, the substantial reliance of the sector on rain-fed systems has made it particularly vulnerable to variability in rainfall and temperature and climate change. Climate change may decrease... G.

7. Recommandation De Formules De Fertilisation Site-spécifique Pour La Production Du Maïs Dans La Région Des Savanes Du TogoDans le contexte actuel de la dégradation des terres agricoles et des difficultés de disponibilité et d'accès aux intrants agricoles en particulier les engrais, la maximisation de l'efficience d'utilisation des nutriments en nutrition des plantes devient plus que jamais une nécessité. Nous avons conduit en 2020 sous culture de maïs (Zea mays L.), des essais soustractifs à base de l'azote (N), du phosphore (P) et du potassium... M. Lare, J. Sogbedji, K. Lotsi, K. Amouzou, A.

8. Nitrogen Use Efficiency of Barley Grown Under Organic Amendments and N Fertilizer on Acidic Soils of a Highland Tropical EnvironmentSoil nutrient depletion and low nutrient use efficiency are among pressing issues for the productivity of crops in Sub-Saharan Africa. Efficient use of nitrogen (N) for crop production in low-input subsistence farming may improve yields and quality, reduce cost and risk in case of crop failure. The effects of organic amendments and N fertilizer on the N-uptake and N-use efficiency of barley were investigated in the central Ethiopian highlands. The treatments were factorial combinations of no organic... G. Agegnehu |
