1. 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 |
2. Leaf-proximal Hyperspectral Data and Multivariate Modelling Approaches to Estimate Phosphorus and Potassium Content of Wheat LeavesThe assessment of plant nutrient status to provide sufficient fertilization for rapid and continuous uptake by plants has been based on visual diagnosis in the field, which is quick but demands a lot of experience and has low operability. Visible near-infrared spectroscopy (VNIS) has shown to be a quick, non-destructive, accurate, and cost-effective analytical method in precision agriculture. In this study, we assessed the potential of this technology to predict phosphorus and potassium content... Y. El-mejjaouy, B. Dumont, P. Vermeulen, A. Oukarroum, B. Mercatoris |
3. Agronomic Yield Response of Lowland Rice Varieties to Nutrient Application Under Flooded Irrigation in Northern UgandaGlobally, flooded irrigation is a major water management method used to boost rice production. In Uganda, flooded irrigation is being promoted for lowland rice farming amidst the increasing threat of climate change and variability. Use of mineral fertilizer and improved varieties during the rice cropping calender is a measure towards intensive and precision farming for increased yields. However, the response of lowland rice varieties to fertilization with a defined cropping calendar remain now... R. Akena, P. Musinguzi |
