1. Preparation of a precision ripping plan using manual vertical penetrometer measurementsLarge weight power engines and tools used in agriculture significantly contribute to the formation of compacted and thickening layers starting from the soil surface. There are suitable deep ripping technologies to eliminate harmful soil compaction, which are extremely energy and cost demanding. In precision agriculture, it is possible to treat spatially delimited unfavourable soil patches. The bulk density (g/cm3) of the soil was calculated from the soil resistance and moisture content...

2. A cheap alternative to data management and creating of yield maps of small-plot field experimentsLong-term field trials provide an opportunity to examine the long-term effects of crop production factors and the effect of different crop years can also be analysed. In the long-term field trial, spatial representation of the data belonging to each plot might be necessary for the purpose of soil heterogeneity analysis, working hypothesis, or even presentation. Researchers dealing with long-term field trials usually store the measurement data for a given experiment in Excel or in a database of... P. Ragán, T. Rátonyi, A. Széles, P. Fejér, I. Bácskai, E.

3. Soil mapping with the VERIS U3 soil scanner in a precision farm in HungaryCurrently, field crop production faces constant challenges. Extreme climatic conditions, deteriorating circumstances on the field have a negative impact on the quantity and quality of available yields, and the ever-changing agro-economic environment makes the profitability of the sector uncertain. Precision crop production means site-specific agricultural cultivation tied to geographical coordinates. Modern strip tillage technology based on precision technology for crops with wide row spacing... P. Ragán, E. Harsányi, T. Rátonyi, A. Széles, P. Fejér, I. Bácskai |
4. SmartAfriHub for SmartAgriculture capacity buidling in AfricaDigital Innovation Hubs (DIH) are multi-actor ecosystems that support farming communities in their digital transformation by providing a broad variety of services from a one-stop shop. DIHs purpose is to provide a social space for community of practices; provide access to digital technologies and competencies; provide access to infrastructure and tests digital innovations (“test before invest”); provide development playground...

5. MAPPING AND ASSESSING AFRICAN SOILS FERTILITY USING HIGH-RESOLUTION REMOTE SENSING AND MACHINE LEARNING APPROACHES: STATE-OF-THE-ART AND PERSPECTIVESAfrica is far from exploiting its true agricultural potential. United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) indicates that the continent has 60% of non-cultivated lands worldwide. While soil fertility is well highlighted as one of the major limiting factors, only limited information is available on soil nutrient contents and nutrient availability in the African soils. Soil fertility of agricultural fields is related to many physical and chemical properties, such as texture, organic matter... M. Hmimou, A. Laamrani, F. Sehbaoui, A. Chehbouni, S. Khabba, D. Dhiba |
6. QUANTIFICATION OF OPTIMAL FERTILIZERS DEMAND IN WHEAT AND CORN FIELDS IN MOROCCO USING VERY HIGH-RESOLUTION REMOTE SENSED IMAGERY AND HYBRID COMPUTATIONAL APPROACHESAbstract. Demand on agricultural products is increasing as population continues to grow. Data driven management of macronutrients (i.e., nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K)) and crops are of critical prominence to get the most out of soil in terms of crop yield while preserving environment. This study aims to establish a quantitative framework for macronutrient (i.e., nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) status (i.e., excess, deficiency) for winter wheat (Triticum aestivum... K.

7. Monitoring irrigation water use at large scale irrigated areas using remote sensing in water scarce environmentIncreasing pressure on available water resources in semi-arid region will affect the availability of water for irrigated agriculture. In this context, adoption of innovative and cost-effective tools for water management and analysis of water use patterns in irrigated areas is required for an efficient and sustainable use of water resources. This study aims to evaluate a remote sensing-based approach which allows estimation of the temporal and spatial distribution of crop evapotranspiration... M. Kharrou, V. Simonneaux, M. Le page, S.

8. Maize-cowpea intercropping as an ecological intensification option for low input systems in sub-humid Zimbabwe: productivity, biological N2-fixation and grain mineral content.Poor soil fertility and erratic rainfall constrain crop production in rain-fed smallholder farming systems in sub-Saharan Africa. Integration of cowpea, a drought tolerant and N2-fixing crop into maize-based cropping systems is a risk-averse strategy that also improves N cycling. A field experiment was carried out during 2017/18 and 2018/19 cropping seasons in Zimbabwe to assess the effect of intercropping and fertilizer micro doses on productivity, N2-fixation and grain mineral content....

9. Use of Earth Observation Imagery, Advanced Modelling Algorithms and Other Monitoring Systems to Produce Operational Agricultural Annual Crop Inventories for Morocco.African farmers are facing the challenges of a changing climate, increased temperatures, changes in rainfall patterns, more frequent extreme weather events and reductions in water availability. The digital transformation of the agricultural sector is one of the opportunities that can promote good practices of the African agricultural through the sharing of information and tools for decision-making, thereby, boost economic growth of our African country. The shift to digital technologies is... M. Choukri, A. Laamrani , V. simonneaux , B. Gerard , S. Belaqziz, A. Chehbouni, K. Misbah, H. Mcnairn |
10. Effects of Adopting Fertilizer Management Practices on Yield in Maize-Based Systems of Embu County: an Instrumental Variable Regression ApproachFertilizers play an important role in maize production and global food security, contributing significantly to yield increases. However, continuous rise in fertilizer prices has resulted in inflated costs, leading to unaffordability and suboptimal utilization. Inefficient use by farmers has hindered yield potential and increased environmental risks. Additionally, farmers' limited knowledge and awareness of optimal nutrient requirements, timing, application rates, and placement techniques... M. Gitau, R.A. Nyikal, , O. Kitonyo |
