This presentation contains an overview of all activities and measurements that were carried out during the first year of research at Aleksandrovac (UNI-BL) and Butmir(UNSA). The research study is based on the on the assessment of the impact of different water regimes on the domestic maize hybrid (BL40) grown in a different pedoclimatic area. Preliminary results obtained at both locations are presented and compared.

This presentation provides an overview of the reconstruction of the irrigation system in the Republic of Srpska from2013 until now and the current state of irrigation in the Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. With regard to drought as an extremely important factor in land degradation with numerous direct and indirect consequences on food production, biodiversity and the environment in general, the Government of the Republic of Srpska in the previous period started the implementation of projects for the construction of sustainable irrigation systems. The current status of the completed work wasintroduced.

This presentation gave an overview of land degradation neutrality (LDN) in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The characteristics of climate, geomorphology, vegetation and soil are presented. The main LDN
activities are also explained. Furthermore, land cover changes, land productivity dynamics, soil
organic carbon stocks, hot and bright spots, priority watersheds, main and other drivers of land
degradation, as well as population change are emphasized. The goals, challenges, opportunities and
steps in the implementation of LDN are explained.

Sysman Progetti & Servizi is a technology PMI from Apulia Region (Italy), mainly involved in research
projects regard Digital Agriculture. Sysman developed a software product called Bluleaf, a Decision
Support System (DSS) able to help farmers and technicians on field in managing their crops and
optimize agronomic inputs (such as water, fertilizer, and pesticides).
The presentation provides an overview of the DSS Bluleaf with details regard the plot configuration
procedure and an introduction to digital tools implemented for learning and training purposes.

These lectures contain a general introduction of the use of crop growth simulation models, and an
overview of the DSSAT-Cropping System Model (CSM). Crop growth simulation models importance,
concept, application, reliability, evaluation, and required data were introduced. DSSAT main tools,
modules, processes, and datasets were presented. These lectures are completed by presenting an
example of the DSSAT application in an irrigated agricultural system and some practices to provide
an experience in using DSSAT version 4.7 utility programs.

This presentation focuses on intensive irrigated agriculture and environmental pollution issues, mainly nitrate leaching into the water bodies, and the assessment methods – field measurements, farm surveys, nitrogen balances, and system modelling. Scenario analysis considers the nitrogen application rate in maize fields with center pivot irrigation cultivated in different soil textures.
