Expert Summary
Yameogo P. Louis has cumulative experience of more than 10 years in agronomy research. His research addresses the improvement of rice-based cropping systems, soil fertility management, and plant nutrition, with a great interest in precision agriculture. He is also an expert in agricultural experimentation, biometrics, and data analysis. He aquired a diversified experiences in defining, conducting and supervising research activities in relation to rice agronomy.
Yameogo P. Louis started his Career in 2009 as agronomic engineer in the rice research program of the Institute of the Environnement and Agricultural Research (INERA), one the five intitutes of the National Center of Research and Technology (CNRST) in Burkina Faso. His work has enabled the dissemination, and validation of several technologies to improve rice based cropping system in Burkina Faso, such as Urea Deep Placement (UDP), the System of Rice Intensification (SRI), the Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD). Acting as the assistant of the focal point of AfricaRice agronomy taskforce in Burkina Faso (from 2013 to 2015), his work served as a basis for the calibration and validation of the model of the nutrient manager (RiceAdvice) for Burkina Faso. He also conducted the yield gap survey in 2013, which conducted to the implementation of a basket of good agricultural practices in upland and lowland rice.
In addition to national research, Yameogo P. Louis joined the Center for Development Research (ZEF in German) at the University of Bonn (Germany) as a junior researcher, from 2013 to 2017. His studies leading to a Ph.D. focused on soil nitrogen dynamics and his relationship with rice production in West Africa.
In July 2022, Yameogo P. Louis was promoted (Maître de Recherche) to the African and Malagasy Council for Higher Education and Research (CAMES) as a researcher in agronomy, specializing in soil science.
