1. Tomato yield and economic performance under organic and mineral fertilizer applications in coastal TogoResearch efforts towards enhancing vegetables production are still needed in Togo. We assessed tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) yield and associated economic returns under three soil fertility management strategies in a 3-yr period study. Three tomato varieties were used including: MONGAL-F1 (V1), SUMO-F1 (V2) and COBRA 26-F1 (V3). The fertilization regimes were: no fertilizer application as the control (F1), application of 200 kg of N15P15K15 + 10... J.M. Sogbedji, M. Lare |
2. 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 a... N.T. Geremew, B.B. Waraka, L.W. Mirkena |
3. Agronomic Yield Response of Lowland Rice Varieties to Nutrient Application Under Flooded Irrigation in Northern UgandaGlobally, flooded irrigation is a major water management method used to boost rice production. In Uganda, flooded irrigation is being promoted for lowland rice farming amidst the increasing threat of climate change and variability. Use of mineral fertilizer and improved varieties during the rice cropping calender is a measure towards intensive and precision farming for increased yields. However, the response of lowland rice varieties to fertilization with a defined cropping calendar remain no... R. Akena, P. Musinguzi |
4. 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 appli... V. Aduramigba-modupe, J.M. Jibrin, . Olabanji, B. Lawan, D. Madukwe |
