1. Maximisation de l’efficience d’utilisation de l’azote par la tomate(Solanum lycopersicum L.) sur les ferrasols au Sud du TogoMaximiser l'efficience d'utilisation de l'Azote (N) en culture de tomate s'impose pour améliorer le rendement et la rentabilité de la culture. Il a été mené sur trois ans, six cultures de tomate réparties sur deux périodes (septembre à janvier 2017-2019 et de février à mai 2018-2020) sur un sol ferralitique à la Station d'Expérimentations Agronomiques de Lomé suivant un dispositif expérimental...

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.

3. EFFECT OF INTERCROPPING SORGHUM WITH COWPEA AND NITROGEN APPLICATION ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF SORGHUM (Sorghum bicolor (L.) MOENCH)Despite the development of improved varieties, the yield of sorghum has remained significantly low in dryland environments due to low soil fertility and inappropriate cropping practices. However, implementation of precision agriculture (PA) within the context of companion cropping with legumes and fine-tuning the supply of fertilizer nitrogen (N) has the potential to increase sorghum yield in these environments. Nonetheless, the effect sorghum-cowpea compatibility, fertilizer N use and their interaction... P.E. Moi , O.M. Kitonyo, G.N. Chemining’wa, J.M. Kinama |
4. Effect of Plant Population and Nitrogen Rate on Growth and Yield of Two Pre-release rice varieties in KenyaThe application of precision agriculture (PA) through the optimization of plant population and management of fertilizer nitrogen (N) can increase rice yield. Current rice (Oryza sativa) plant population and fertilizer nitrogen (N) management guidelines in Kenya were developed from research conducted about three decades. These management guidelines might still be robust and could be applied to recently released as well as close-to- release varieties. However, the yield potential of... W. Kioko, W. Kioko, W. Kioko, W.

5. Determinants of the adoption of an intelligent monitoring system and effects on farms performance in TunisiaConcidering the observation of the rise of Computerized Management Software Packages and intelligent monitoring in a path of modernization of agricultural techniques, we questioned the main factors influencing the decision to adopt management software, farmers’ perception of these management tools and their impact on farm performance. Referring to a theoretical framework focused on innovation and the adoption of technologies in agriculture, we triggered the hypothesis of research... J. Ben nasr, H. Chiboub, M. Msaddak |
6. Comparative fertilization effects on maize productivity under conservation and conventional tillage on sandy soils in a smallholder cropping system in ZimbabweLow crop yields, food insecurity and abject rural poverty continue to be rampant in much of Southern Africa. Components of conservation agriculture (CA) are being widely promoted in southern Africa as one of the strategies to increase food security and mitigate rural poverty, despite there being scarce empirical evidence on their efficacy on degraded soils. This research aimed to assess the effects of tillage systems on maize grain yields under rain-fed conditions across a soil organic matter... R. Chikowo, S. Zingore, N. Kafesu |
