1. Field Performance of Common Bean (Phaseolus Vulgaris L) Under Mycorrhizal Inoculation and Phosphorus Level Application in Kashusha, Eastern DrcThe positive effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on yield and phosphorus uptake have already been widely studied. However, the response of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) to mycorrhizal inoculation and phosphorus supply is still poorly documented in South Kivu where the use of fungal biofertilizers is not yet tested. This study was initiated to determine the effect of mycorrhizal inoculation and increasing doses of phosphorus on common bean performance in South Kivu. The study was... A.B. Ndeko, G.B. Chuma, J.M.

2. Fine-tuning Specialty Fertilization Strategies to Local Wheat Production Through On-farm Experimentation in NigeriaWheat specialty fertilizer validation trial was conducted in 8 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Kano State, Nigeria on farmers field. The specialty fertilizer validation project is implemented to improve the productivity and profitability of small-scale wheat smallholder farmers. Four treatments - absolute control (AC), local control (LC), OCP1 and OCP2 were replicated four times in a RCBD on a plot of 25m2. The AC was based on the indigenous nutrient supply from the soil (no application... V. Aduramigba-modupe, J.M. Jibrin, . Olabanji, B. Lawan, D. Madukwe |
3. Harnessing Soil Health to Create More Restorative and Resilient Food Systems in the Central Highlands Eco-Region FoodscapeThe relationships among soil health and adoption of regenerative practices, crop productivity, human nutrition and farm profitability are intricate and poorly understood, particularly in the Central Highlands of Kenya. There is a need for a deeper understanding of how soil health is affected by the profitability of preferred value chains among smallholders in this ecoregion. The Central Highlands Ecoregion Foodscape, or the CHEF, which is within the Upper Tana River Basin is centered around food... R. Sitienei |
4. Post-Harvest Assessments of On-Farm Maize ExperimentationThe completion of the most recent maize-growing seasons in northern Cote d’Ivoire and Kenya (western and eastern regions) provided a first opportunity for farmers to share assessments from their participation in a new on-farm research initiative for sub-Saharan Africa called NUTCAT - meaning Nutrient-Catalyzed Agricultural Transformation. ...
