Assessment and monitoring of soil resources is needed for ensuring environmental sustainability of rice production in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy has the potential to offer means to evaluate and monitor soils at large scale in an efficient, affordable and timely man...


Johnson, J.M.Vandamme, E.Senthilkumar, K.Sila, A.Shepherd, K.D.Saito, K.Saito, K.[Near-infrared, mid-infrared or combined diffuse reflectance spectroscopy for assessing soil fertility in rice fields in sub-Saharan Africa.]Near-infrared, mid-infrared or combined diffuse reflectance spectroscopy for assessing soil fertility in rice fields in sub-Saharan Africa.

Lowland rice production in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is often limited by water supply and low phosphorus (P) availability and efforts are needed towards more efficient management of both resources. Field and pot experiments were set up to evaluate combinations of water saving technologies and micr...


Bauw, P. deVandamme, E.Senthilkumar, K.Lupembe, A.Smolders, E.Merckx, R.[Combining phosphorus placement and water saving technologies enhances rice production in phosphorus-deficient lowlands]Combining phosphorus placement and water saving technologies enhances rice production in phosphorus-deficient lowlands

Phosphorus (P) deficiency is a major biophysical limitation to rice grain yields in sub-Saharan Africa, and low-cost P management strategies are needed by smallholder farmers to reverse soil fertility decline. On-station field and pot experiments were combined with on-farm testing to evaluate the...

Competition from weeds is one of the major biophysical constraints to rice (Oryza spp.) production in sub-Saharan Africa. Smallholder rice farmers require efficient, affordable and labour-saving weed management technologies. Mechanical weeders have shown to fit this profile. Several mechanical we...


Johnson, J-M.Rodenburg, J.Tanaka, A.Senthilkumar, K.Ahouanton, K.Dieng, I.Klotoe, A.Akakpo, C.Segda, Z.Yameogo, L.P.Gbakatchetche, H.Acheampong, G.K.Bam, R.K.Bakare, O.S.Kalisa, A.Gasore, E.R.Ani, S.Ablede, K.Saito, K.[Farmers' perceptions on mechanical weeders for rice production in sub-Saharan Africa]Farmers' perceptions on mechanical weeders for rice production in sub-Saharan Africa

Rice is an increasingly important commodity in sub-Saharan Africa. In Tanzania, the rice yield gap is as high as 87%, due to a combination of production constraints and sub-optimal crop management. Reducing this yield gap may be partly achieved through the introduction and dissemination of good a...

If future rice production is to contribute to food security for the increasing population of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), effective strategies are needed to control weeds, the crop’s fiercest competitors for resources. To gain better insights into farmers’ access to, and use of, herbicides as part o...

Nutrient deficiencies are considered major constraints to rice production in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), but a systematic, continent-wide analysis of these constraints is lacking. The objective of this study was to assess responses of rice yields to macronutrients (N, P, and K) across major rice pr...
