1. Soil Moisture Sensing for Increased Water Use Efficiency and Crop Yields in Furrow Irrigated Systems: a Case of Mubuku Irrigation Scheme in Uganda Water and nutrient use efficiencies remain low in most of the irrigated systems in developing countries, undermining crop productivity in these areas. This is partly due to lack of precise and site-specific information to guide irrigation scheduling. In most cases information on soil properties and crop water requirements is lacking and thus irrigation scheduling is done on rotational basis whether the crop needs water or not. Consequently, the amount of water stored in soil root zone for crop... E. Opolot, D. Besigye, P. Musinguzi, I.N. Alou, T.A. Basamba, G. Olupot
2. The Global Crop Nutrient Removal Database (Gcnrd): Development, Initial Analysis and Identification of Current Data Gaps Improved understanding of the factors affecting nutrient uptake can enable production optimization, increased nutrient use efficiencies, reduced environmental footprints, and overall higher economic returns for farmers. Crop uptake is affected by genetics, soil, weather, agronomic practices, and their interactions. As such, understanding the way crop nutrient uptake varies across different regions and production environments requires the coverage of various parameters, and necessitates collaboration... C.
