1. On-farm experimentation. A major role for precision agriculture in African agriculture Is precision agriculture relevant to African Ag? Most people envision fancy technology when they consider precision agriculture (PA). Indeed, over the past 30 years or more PA has introduced a range of exciting technologies to agriculture. But the real change is not the technology itself, but the new ways technology enables farmers to manage complex and uncertain systems. This message dates back to the early days of PA but has been superseded by technological prowess and needs to be... S. Cook
2. Drivers of Post-harvest Aflatoxin Contamination: Evidence Gathered from Knowledge Disparities and Field Surveys of Maize Farmers in the Rift-valley Region of Kenya Maize-dependent populations in sub-Saharan Africa are continually exposed to aflatoxin poisoning owing to their regular consumption of this dietetic cereal. Being a staple in Kenyan households, consumption of maize-based meals is done almost daily, thereby exposing consumers to aflatoxicoses. This study assessed awareness levels, knowledge disparities and perceptions regarding aflatoxin contamination at the post-harvest phase among farmers in the Rift-valley region of Kenya. Households were randomly... G.W. Gachara, R. Lahlali, R. Suleiman, B.M. Kilima Download paper
3. Recommandation De Formules De Fertilisation Site-spécifique Pour La Production Du Maïs Dans La Région Des Savanes Du Togo Dans 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.

4. The Value and Potential of On-Farm Experimentation to Catalyze Agricultural Transformation On-farm experimentation (OFE), which inculcates farmers’ agency in knowledge discovery, has the potential to support and accelerate transformative agronomy at scale. The OFE process within the Nutrient-Catalyzed Agricultural Transformation in Africa (NUTCAT) project, encompasses farmer engagements, set-up of simple, easy-to-understand treatment designs, and contextual analysis of the data to enhance the relevance of the results to farmers. Ultimately, it is envisaged that this process will... I. Adolwa, J. Muthamia, C. Lutomia, , S. Cook Download paper
