Development of a model for estimating the biomass of pastures using normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI): the case of the Niassa pastoral zone in Burkina Faso
Ghislain Tontibomma BAMBARA, André KIEMA, Valérie M.C. BOUGOUMA-YAMEOGO, Abroulaye SANFO and Wièmè SOME
In Burkina Faso, livestock feeding is based on pasture productivity, which is a key factor in managing livestock productivity. As such, this management requires a good knowledge of pastures. However, the high cost of producing pasture data and the inaccessibility of pastures due to insecurity mean that there is a low availability or lack of da(...)
