1. A Suitability Approach for Land Assessment of New Reclamation Areas Using GeomaticsThe study aims to develop a system to assess land suitability for agriculture use in the Arid Western Fringes of the Nile Delta. This is based on the fact that the selection of optimal sites for agricultural use is a prerequisite for productive operation and economic feasibility. This is especially true in arid regions due to the scarcity of such suitable land. New approach was implemented to use environmental and terrestrial factors; i.e., criteria of soil characteristics, climate and salinity... A.M. saleh, S.M. Arafat, M.A. Abdelrahman |
2. Precision Maize Nutrition: Evidences from On-farm Experimentation of Quefts Estimated Nutrient Requirement for Variable Densities in Smallholder Farmers in EthiopiaQuantitative 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 |
