معرفی
Yussif Baba Kassim is a researcher specializing in agricultural sciences, with a focus on soil science, precision agriculture, and crop systems analysis. His work bridges remote sensing technologies with agronomic practices to address soil fertility and crop productivity in resource-constrained settings.
- Key Research Areas: Soil fertility analysis, drone-based phenotyping, genetic enhancement of legumes (cowpea, groundnut), cassava intercropping systems, and sustainable nutrient management.
- Technological Innovation: Applied high-throughput plant phenotyping (HTPP) and vegetation indices for predicting soil characteristics and evaluating crop traits.
Scientific Impact: Published 15+ peer-reviewed articles between 2019–2025, emphasizing case studies in Ghana’s Guinea Savannah and Northern Region. His work spans genetic parameters for root yield, soil sampling methodologies, and drought tolerance modeling in groundnut.
Current Projects: Investigating fertilization effects on crop productivity and nutritional quality (active since 2021) under the supervision of Prof. T.-J. Stomph and Prof. P.C. Struik.
