1. Engaging Stakeholders in Precision Agriculture Toolbox Conception: Case of Cowpea Atlas Platform Establishment in Benin Republic Cowpea [(Vigna Unguiculata (L.) Walpers] is among the most preferred and consumed legumes in West Africa and grown by many smallholder farmers. The crop has huge potential, is easy to grow and constitute a source of income of many actors involved in different value chains. Unfortunately, despite many interventions which aimed at promoting the crop in West Africa mainly Benin, areas under cowpea crop decrease over the years along with the loss of cowpea-based products. Such problem is... N.V. Fassinou hotegni, Y.L. Godonou, L.M. Gnanglè, O.N. Coulibaly, E.G. Achigan-dako
2. Precision Maize Nutrition: Evidences from On-farm Experimentation of Quefts Estimated Nutrient Requirement for Variable Densities in Smallholder Farmers in Ethiopia Quantitative Evaluation of the Fertility of Tropical Soils (QUEFTS) model is an important tool for estimating optimal nutrient requirement of crops. The study was conducted to evaluate QUEFTS estimated (QE) nutrient requirement of maize in two pant densities (32,443 and 53,333 plants/ha in Central Rift Valley (CRV); 27724 and 62,000 plants/ha in Jimma) on fields of three farmers wealth classes (poor, medium and wealth) in contrasting agro-ecologies of Ethiopia. QUEFTS follows a target oriented... W.B. Kenea, T.B. Tura, A.N. Woldekristos Download paper
3. Sustainability of Maize Production with Farmers’ Practices and Redesigned Crop Management Practices in CRV and Jimma of Ethiopia Multi-criteria assessment of crop management practices is vital for sustainable crop production and environmental safety. In this study, sustainability of maize production with farmer’s practice (FP), redesigned plant density plus current fertilizer use (RDCF), current plant density plus redesigned fertilizer use (CDRF), and redesigned plant density and redesigned fertilizer use (RDRF) were assessed at farm level based on social, agronomic, economic and environmental principles in Central...

4. Design and Development of a LoRa Communication System for Scalable Smart Irrigation Systems Smart irrigation is a promising tool to optimize irrigation water use but is still faced with challenges related to usability and applicability attributed to several constraints such as high initial costs, complex user interface, poor connectivity, limited farm coverage, etc. This study aimed to solve some of these issues through the development and testing of a LoRa communication system using a Raspberry Pi 4, LoRa HAT concentrator, and Strega smart valve at the Makerere University Agricultural...
