1. Comparative fertilization effects on maize productivity under conservation and conventional tillage on sandy soils in a smallholder cropping system in ZimbabweLow crop yields, food insecurity and abject rural poverty continue to be rampant in much of Southern Africa. Components of conservation agriculture (CA) are being widely promoted in southern Africa as one of the strategies to increase food security and mitigate rural poverty, despite there being scarce empirical evidence on their efficacy on degraded soils. This research aimed to assess the effects of tillage systems on maize grain yields under rain-fed conditions across a soil organic matter... R. Chikowo, S. Zingore, N. Kafesu |
2. Caractérisation architecturale pour la prédiction du potentiel de production des tètes de clones de Coffea Caenophora pierre ex a. froehnerLe café demeure jusqu’à ce jour une culture très importante dans le monde et particulièrement en Côte d’Ivoire. Cette culture est avec les changements climatiques confrontée à de nombreux facteurs qui limitent sa production. Parmi ces facteurs les plus problématiques sont : la baisse de la fertilité des sols, les insectes et les performances agronomiques de l’espèce et/ou de la variété cultivée.... H. Kouassi |
3. Potentials of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for the Nigerian AgricultureThe continuous development of technology is driving the invention of new machineries such as the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), also known as “drones”. The UAVs have become much more popular within the last decade for its significant roles in agriculture among other industries, yet their applications in Nigeria are yet to be appreciated. Therefore, the present study reviewed the characteristics and multiple uses of UAVs in agriculture and their potentials for the Nigerian... M. Kabir, S. Ekici |
4. Capacity Building of African Young Scientists in Precision Agriculture Through Cross Regional Academic MobilityClimate change is one of the main problems affecting food and nutrition globally, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Adapting to and/or mitigating climate change in the agri-food sector requires merging information technologies, genetic innovations, and sustainable farming practices to empower the agricultural youth sector to create effective and locally adapted solutions. Precision Agriculture applied to crops (PAAC), has been advocated as a strategic solution to mitigate/adapt agriculture at... K. Frimpong, V. Fassinou hotegni, A. Karangwa, A. Manyatsi, M. Amri, D.
