1. 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... |
2. DIGITAL MAPPING OF EXCHANGEABLE CATIONS IN SOILS OF SOUTHWESTERN NIGERIASoil acidity and low exchangeable cation are the major soil fertility challenges resulting in low crop productivity in Southwest Nigeria. Digital soil mapping is an effective way to achieve precision agriculture. However, most of the research work on soil exchangeable cations as soil information was not geo-referenced, The study created geo-database and developed a digitized map of soil exchangeable cations Indicating the spatial distribution in soils of southwestern Nigeria. Secondary data... O.E. Awosiyan, I.K. Mary, F.A. Adesina |
3. Strengthening the Knowledge Base for Sustainable Management of Inland Valleys in West Africa: Two Pilot Case Study Sites from Benin.Inland valleys offer a unique opportunity for increasing food security in West-Africa, but their potential is constrained by poor water management and a limited hydrological understanding. Increasing the hydrological understanding of inland valleys should be based on long term and detailed validated observations of hydrological fluxes in the different components of the inland valleys. We present in this study, two new pilot case study sites which aim observing the long-term dynamics of water... M.A. Tidjani, P.G. Tovihoudji, I.P. Akponikpe, M. Vanclooster |
