This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Bank Technical Paper No. 408. This report is a critical review of the technical, economic, and institutional constraints on improving soil fertility in Sub-Saharan Africa, and the actions recommended to address them. Action plans prepared for Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, and Mali examine the demand for and supply of mineral fertilizers, the exploitation of local mineral resources, the prevention of soil erosion and increasing soil-water retention, and soil fertility management using organic technologies and management practices.

Book excerpt: This SSSA Special Publication presents in the first chapter the new conceptual approach of replenishing soil fertility as an investment in natural resource capital. It is followed by an analysis of the magnitude of soil fertility depletion, a review of field research trials, and a perspective from temperate-region soils. These in turn are followed by three process-oriented chapters on phosphorus, nitrogen, and combining organic and inorganic nutrient inputs. The last two focus on key socioeconomic considerations, gender and environmental economics.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication reviews issues related to land degradation, with focus on problems of soil fertility management in sub-Saharan Africa. It highlights some successful experiences in the region, constraints and possible solutions specific to the major agro-ecological zones and the importance of the holistic and participatory approaches for soil productivity improvement. The need for action and collaborative efforts of all stakeholders, within the framework of ongoing initiatives, are emphasized. It is hoped that this document will contribute to increase awareness of senior specialists and policy-makers about the problems and alternative solutions towards enhanced and sustained soil productivity.

Download or read book Improving Soil Fertility Recommendations in Africa using the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer DSSAT written by Job Kihara and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-03-12 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book gives a detailed description of the application of DSSAT in simulating crop and soil processes within various Agro-ecological zones in Africa. The book, an output of a series of 3 workshops, provides examples of the application of DSSAT models to simulate nitrogen applications, soil and water conservation practices including effects of zai technology, phosphorus and maize productivity, generation of genetic coefficients, long-term soil fertility management technologies in the drylands, microdosing, optimization of nitrogen x germplasms x water, spatial analysis of water and nutrient use efficiencies and, tradeoff analysis. The minimum dataset requirements for DSSAT is discussed. This book arises from attempts to address the limited use of models in decision support by African agricultural (both soil scientist and agronomists) scientists.
