1. Evaluation of on –farm oil palm yield parameters in Niger Delta region of NigeriaEvaluation of on –farm oil palm yield parameters in Niger Delta region of Nigeria *Ekhator F1., Osayande P1., Aduramigba-Modupe V.O2., Solomon O1., and Ikuenobe C.E1. 1Nigerian Institute for Oil Palm Research (NIFOR) P.M.B 1030, Benin City, Edo State 2Institute of Agricultural Research and Training, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ibadan, Oyo...

2. Enhancing the Use of Appropriate Fertilizers for Improving Rice and Maize Production in TanzaniaMost soils under maize and rice production in Tanzania are characterized by low soil fertility. Fertilizer recommendations were developed in Tanzania to improve soil productivity but most of them are for N and P nutrients. The recommendations do not cover secondary and micro nutrients because the data for these nutrients are very few to establish response functions. In year 2017 to 2019, trials were conducted in 769 farmers’ field in Tanzania to determine soil fertility status and the response... C.J. Senkoro |
3. 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 |
4. 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 |
5. Optimizing Durum Wheat Nitrogen Nutrition Index (NNI) Prediction Through Sentinel-2 Vegetation Index IntegrationNitrogen is crucial for durum wheat growth and productivity, but excess or insufficient levels can harm both the environment and farmers' finances. Remote sensing offers rapid, cost-effective, and nondestructive ways to assess crop nutrition, with vegetation indices (VIs) indicating plant health. This study aims to enhance the accuracy of durum wheat nitrogen status prediction by investigating modified formulations of Nitrogen Nutrition Index (NNI) coupled with various vegetation indices (VIs),...
