1. Productivity and Profitability of Maize (Zea Mays L.) As Affected by Planting and Fertilization Schemes on the Ferralsols of Southern TogoA sustainable improvement of crop productivity and profitability in the current context of climate change and land degradation is necessary to meet the food and cash needs of a ceaselessly growing population. In order to help achieve this aim, we carried out a 2-year experiment (2020 and 2021) at the University of Lomé Agronomic Experiment Station. The experiment was set up in a split-plot design, composed of eight (08) treatments in three (03) replicates each. Two planting schemes (SC1=... M. Mazinagou, M.J. Sogbedji, A. N'gbendema |
2. Determination of Major Limiting Nutrients and Site-specific Fertilizer Recommendation Towards Optimizing Rice Production in the Irrigated Perimeter of the Zio Valley (Togo)Adoption of appropriate inorganic fertilization schemes is essential to improving fertilizer use efficiency and crop performance. This study aims to contribute to the improvement of rice yields in the irrigated perimeter of the Zio Valley in Togo through appropriate inorganic fertilization. Nutrient omission trials were set up during November 2020 to March 2021 and May to September 2021, with producers identified in the four (04) villages (Mission Tove, Ziowonou, Kovie and Assome) located in the...

3. Rice Production System and Major Nutrients Balance Assessment in Rice Cropping in the Irrigated Perimeter of the Zio ValleyKnowledge of cropping systems and farming practices are essential towards improving crop yields. This study aims to characterize rice production systems, analyse fertilization practices and assess the impact of irrigated rice on the balance of major nutrients in Zio valley. The characterization of production systems and fertilization practices were carried out through a survey of a sample of 192 randomly selected producers, i.e. 34% of the total number of farmers in the four (4) villages of the...
