1. Excellence in Agronomy 2030: A new CGIAR-wide initiative to deliver agronomy solutions at scale

Required increases in crop production and productivity in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) will not happen without the increased use of appropriate agronomic practices. While several thousand new varieties of nearly all key crops have been produced in the past decade, recent increases in yields in specific countries have only happened when such varieties received the right agro-inputs and management. That said, agronomy is often highlighted as an area that has not delivered impact at scale in SSA, or... B. Vanlauwe, T. Amede, F. Baudron, P. Chivenge, M. Devare, K. Saito, J. Kihara, V. Nangia, P.

2. Mapping spatial variability of soil nutrient deficiencies in smallholder villages – a prerequisite for improved crop production in Africa

Smallholder farming is the dominating type of agricultural production in many parts of Africa. If cultivation practices can be adapted to match the specific needs of individual smallholder plots, this can certainly be regarded as a form of precision agriculture (PA), considering their limited size. A fundamental prerequisite for successful application of PA is the availability of basic information on soil properties at a detailed enough level. To fill yield gaps, site specific information must... M. Söderström, K. Piikki, J. Kihara, J. Mutua, J. Wetterlind

3. A geostatistical approach to define a soil fertility index based on the main soil macronutrients

Soil fertility is greatly affected by main soil macronutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). These macronutrients can be used to define a synthetic fertility index to support soil fertilization. The study was aimed to propose a geostatistical approach to define a synthetic fertility index based on factorial cokriging. It consists in quantifying and reducing the spatial variability of multivariate data to only a few factors, related to different spatial scales. Such factors... H. Aboelkhier, A. Nasrallah, S.

4. Water Application Efficiency of an Ultisol in Response to Climate Change in Two Agroecological Zones of Nigeria

Irrigation and fertilizer application are management practices farmers have adopted to increase food production for the growing population. This has improved crop nutrient absorption and the efficiency of fertilizer applied to the soil. This is essential to reduce plant water stress in a climate changing environment. This study investigated and compared water application efficiency under manual sprinkler irrigation with capillary irrigation method on ultisols located in rainforest and derived... I.A. Egbebi, D.J.
