Low soil fertility is one of the factors most limiting agricultural production, with phosphorus
deficiency being among the main factors, particularly in developing countries. To deal with …

Maize is the most cultivated cereal in Africa in terms of land area and production, but low soil
nitrogen availability often constrains yields. Developing new maize varieties with high and …

Maize crop production is constrained worldwide by nitrogen (N) availability and particularly
in poor tropical and subtropical soils. The development of affordable high-throughput crop …

Satellite remote sensing has not been practical for agronomic research conducted using
small plots due to spatial resolution issues. The objectives were to determine,(1) the …

In the coming decades, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) faces challenges to sustainably increase
food production while keeping pace with continued population growth. Conservation …

The growing use of commercial unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and the need to adjust N
fertilization rates in maize (Zea mays L.) currently constitute a key research issue. In this …

A collection of spectral indices, derived from a range of remote sensing imagery spatial
resolutions, are compared to on-farm measurements of maize chlorophyll content and yield …

Rapid and accurate assessment of yield and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is essential for
growth monitoring, efficient utilization of fertilizer and precision management. This study …

The rapid, accurate, and real-time estimation of crop coefficients at the farm scale is one of
the key prerequisites in precision agricultural water management. This study aimed to map …
