1. Lime and Phosphorus Effects on Soil Acidity and Malt Barley Phosphorus Use Efficiency in Welmera District, Central Highlands of EthiopiaIn Ethiopia, about 43% of total arable land affected by soil acidity. Furthermore, phosphorus (P) deficiency is a major constraint to increase crop yields. Efforts to ameliorate the deleterious effects of soil acidity must therefore be accompanied by measures to increase P availability in soils. Therefore, appropriate rate of lime and P fertilizer is an important strategy for improving crop growth in acidic soils. Accordingly, an experiment was undertaken to study lime and P effects on soil acidity... N.T. Geremew, B.B. Waraka, L.W. Mirkena |
2. Comparative Assesement of Interpolation Techniques in Predicting Soil Properties on a Sloping Pasture Land Under Fallow in a Ferralsol in UgandaSoil variability is a major challenge in application of mineral fertilizers in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Use of soil fertility maps can effectively guide the use of mineral or organic fertilizers or fertilizers. Interpolation techniques are widely used in the formulation of these fertility maps. The precision of spatial interpolation techniques for predicting unmeasured values have been reported by various researchers but there are cconflicting findings regarding the relative performance of these...
