  • Analysis of agro-climatic parameters and their influence on maize production in South Africa 
    Adisa, O.M. (Omolola); Botai, Christina M.; Botai, Joel Ongego; Hassen, Abubeker; Darkey, Daniel; Tesfamariam, Eyob Habte; Adisa, Alex F.; Adeola, Abiodun Morakinyo; Ncongwane, Katlego P. (Springer, 2018-11)
    This study analyzed the variability of the agro-climatic parameters that impact maize production across different seasons in South Africa. To achieve this, four agro-climatic variables (precipitation, potential evapotranspiration, ...
  • Application of artificial neural network for predicting maize production in South Africa 
    Adisa, O.M. (Omolola); Botai, J.O. (Joel Ongego); Adeola, Abiodun Morakinyo; Hassen, Abubeker; Botai, Christina M.; Darkey, Daniel; Tesfamariam, Eyob Habte (MDPI, 2019-02)
    The use of crop modeling as a decision tool by farmers and other decision-makers in the agricultural sector to improve production efficiency has been on the increase. In this study, artificial neural network (ANN) models ...
  • Variability of satellite derived phenological parameters across maize producing areas of South Africa 
    Adisa, O.M. (Omolola); Botai, Joel Ongego; Hassen, Abubeker; Darkey, Daniel; Adeola, Abiodun Morakinyo; Tesfamariam, Eyob Habte; Botai, Christina M.; Adisa, Abidemi T. (MDPI Publishing, 2018-08-27)
    Changes in phenology can be used as a proxy to elucidate the short and long term trends in climate change and variability. Such phenological changes are driven by weather and climate as well as environmental and ecological ...
