The State of Soil Degradation in Sub-Saharan Africa: Baselines, Trajectories, and Solutions (2015, background): “Most studies in the literature compare and contrast management practices [31–34] or examine one farming practice across different regions [5,35].”
Land pressures, the evolution of farming systems, and development strategies in Africa: A synthesis (2014, background): “Third, and perhaps most importantly in densely populated areas, soil organic carbon levels have reached very low levels in high-density Africa (Powlson et al., 2011; Vanlauwe et al., 2011).”
Agronomic Efficiency of Animal-Derived Organic Fertilizers and Their Effects on Biology and Fertility of Soil: A Review (2021, methodology): “[109] established a negative exponential relationship between the AE and amount of N fertilizer supplied, while Chuan et al.”
Long-term addition of compost and NP fertilizer increases crop yield and improves soil quality in experiments on smallholder farms (2014, background): “The rationale for ISFM is that neither organic resources nor fertilizers are available or affordable in sufficient quantities for smallholder farmers (Gentile et al., 2008; Vanlauwe et al., 2011), therefore, the concept focuses on maximizing efficient use of these scarce inputs (Vanlauwe et al.”
Does the combined application of organic and mineral nutrient sources influence maize productivity? A meta-analysis (2011, unknown): “…combined application of ORs and fertilizers is increasingly gaining recognition as one of the appropriate ways of addressing soil fertility depletion, especially in low-external input systems in SSA and forms an integral part of integrated soil fertility management (Vanlauwe et al. 2010a, 2002a).”
Review: Taking stock of Africa’s second-generation agricultural input subsidy programs (2018, background): “…how different farmer-managed and researchermanaged results can be, consider that researcher-managed farm trials in east/southern Africa have typically produced yield response estimates ranging from 18 to 40 kg maize per kg nitrogen (kg/kg) (Whitbread et al., 2013; Vanlauwe et al., 2011).”
