1. Sensor Based In-Season Nitrogen Determination for Quality Protein Maize on Farmers Field Western EthiopiaQuality protein maize production is a current common practice and widely produced in western Ethiopia but its productivity is negatively affected by low rate and time of nitrogen application but there is still inadequate research on this phenomenon in quality protein maize production. This in view different attempts have been made to solve the soil fertility problems using sensor-based nitrogen management in southwestern and western Ethiopia. The objectives of this review were to summarize past... T. Abera |
2. Optimizing Water Use Efficiency in Flood Irrigation Systems in UgandaThere is growing demand for water across different sectors of production. Yet the extent of water wastage to furnish inefficient irrigation systems especially in flood irrigated rice systems, is not known. In developing countries and in Uganda particularly, most irrigation scheduling in the irrigation schemes is based on rotational system rather than crop water needs. In Doho Rice Irrigation Scheme (DRIS) in eastern Uganda for example, farmers’ plots receive up to 50mm ponding of irrigation... P. Onen, E. Opolot, G. Olupot, G. Aguttu |
3. Evaluating the Impact of Seasonal Weather Variability on Soil Moisture Conservation Under Mulching Systems for Date Palm Production in OasesSoil moisture is an essential parameter that governs crop production and soil health. Therefore, the critical role of soil moisture cannot be overstated in sustaining agriculture, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. Date palm production not only plays a vital role in economic and nutritional purposes in many arid areas but also plays important roles in creating favorable microclimates for agriculture and protecting lands from desertification. This study proposes an innovative approach... U. Safi, O. Abdallah , A. Sabri |
