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. Nutrient Quality Studies of Fluted Pumpkin (Telfairia Occidentalis Hook. F) Leaves as Influence by Fertilizer Micro-dosing and TimeThe nutrient qualities of vegetables have been noted to be affected by agronomic practices. The study evaluated the effect of fertilizer micro-dosing and time of application on nutrient quality of fluted pumpkin. The field experiment was carried out during 2017/2018 cropping season at the Teaching and Research Farm, Obafemi Awolowo University (O.A.U), Ile-Ife, situated within the forest zone (latitude 070 28’N and longitude 040 33’East and 224 m above sea level). The experiment was... |
3. The Global Crop Nutrient Removal Database (Gcnrd): Development, Initial Analysis and Identification of Current Data GapsImproved 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.

4. Utilizing Guards (Growing Universal Agronomic Research Data Standard) and the Fair Principles for Data Standardization and Agronomic InsightsThe quantity and scope of agronomic data available for researchers in both industry and academia is increasing rapidly. Data sources include a myriad of different streams, such as field experiments, sensors, climatic data, socioeconomic data or remote sensing. The lack of standards and workflows frequently leads agronomic data to be fragmented and siloed, hampering collaboration efforts within research labs, university departments, or research institutes. Researchers and businesses therefore allocate... S. Sela |

6. The Future of Farming: Bringing Biophotonics and Machine Learning to Revolutionize AgricultureThe future of farming is set to be revolutionized by biophotonics and machine learning. Biophotonics is the study of the interaction of light and living matter, and machine learning is a form of artificial intelligence that allows computers to learn from data. Together, these two technologies will allow for more precise and efficient farming, as well as greater yields and less wastage. Biophotonics will allow for more precise targeting of crops with pesticides and herbicides, as well as more efficient... S. Ndlovu |
