1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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... |
4. 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... |
5. Position of Climate Change and Desertification Issues on the Livelihoods of Indigenous Communities of Africa: Case Study of the Sahel Region and the Horn of AfricaThis Sahel environment stretches all the way from Senegal to Somalia cutting across over ten Africa countries bordering the " Sahara desert" in the north and the "Sudan savannah" in the south, with an annual rainfall of less than 50cm per annum, with good agricultural output (production) as well as large grazing fields for pastoral activities is a home for so many indigenous communities like the Mbororo (Cameroon and Chad), Tuareg (Niger) and the Kanuris (Nigeria, Niger, Chad...

6. A Time Series Investigation to Assess Climate Change and Anthropogenic Impacts on the Degradation of Nile Delta, Egypt.Land degradation risk, status and rate in Nile Delta, Egypt were assessed for a time series using remote sensing data over the past five decades using TM, ETM and OLI. Quantitative deterioration of the area was produced based on the comparative study approach in the integrated weighted sum, weighted overlay and fuzzy model. Where degradation factors were compiled in a raster and each data set scored on a 1 to 5 (very low, low, moderate, high and very high scale). The data sets were then weighted... B. Abdellatif, M.R.

7. 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.
