  • 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 ...
  • Climatic variables and malaria morbidity in Mutale local municipality, South Africa : a 19-year data analysis 
    Adeola, Abiodun Morakinyo; Botai, Joel Ongego; Adisa, O.M. (Omolola); Ncongwane, Katlego P.; Botai, Mihloti Christina; Adebayo-Ojo, Temitope Christina (MDPI Publishing, 2017-11-08)
    The north-eastern parts of South Africa, comprising the Limpopo Province, have recorded a sudden rise in the rate of malaria morbidity and mortality in the 2017 malaria season. The epidemiological profiles of malaria, ...
  • Environmental factors and population at risk of malaria in Nkomazi municipality, South Africa 
    Adeola, Abiodun Morakinyo; Botai, Joel Ongego; Olwoch, Jane Mukarugwiza; Rautenbach, Cornelis Johannes de Wet; Adisa, O.M. (Omolola); Taiwo, O.J.; Kalumba, Ahmed M. (Wiley, 2016-05)
    OBJECTIVE : Nkomazi local municipality of South Africa is a high-risk malaria region with an incidence rate of about 500 cases per 100 000. We examined the influence of environmental factors on population (age group) ...
  • Landsat satellite derived environmental metric for mapping mosquitoes breeding habitats in the Nkomazi municipality, Mpumalanga Province, South Africa 
    Adeola, Abiodun Morakinyo; Olwoch, Jane Mukarugwiza; Botai, Joel Ongego; Rautenbach, Cornelis Johannes de Wet; Kalumba, Ahmed M.; Tsela, Philemon Lehlohonolo; Adisa, O.M. (Omolola); Nsubuga, F.W.N. (Francis Wasswa Nkugwa) (Routledge, 2017)
    The advancement, availability and high level of accuracy of satellite data provide a unique opportunity to conduct environmental and epidemiological studies using remotely sensed measurements. In this study, information ...
  • Predicting malaria cases using remotely sensed environmental variables in Nkomazi, South Africa 
    Adeola, Abiodun Morakinyo; Botai, Joel Ongego; Olwoch, Jane Mukarugwiza; Rautenbach, Cornelis Johannes de Wet; Adisa, O.M. (Omolola); De Jager, Christiaan; Botai, Mihloti Christina; Mabuza, Aaron (PAGEpress, 2019)
    There has been a conspicuous increase in malaria cases since 2016/2017 over the three malaria-endemic provinces of South Africa. This increase has been linked to climatic and environmental factors. In the absence of ...
  • 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 ...
