Overcoming Market Constraints on Pro‐Poor Agricultural Growth in Sub‐Saharan Africa (2006, unknown): “However, despite significant successes with ISFM (see, for example, Place et al., 2003; Snapp et al., 2003), there has been only limited progress in developing ISFM technologies where population density and land pressure are very high.”
Bio-economic evaluation of farmers' perceptions of viable farms in western Kenya (2006, background): “This is happening more so in degraded or low potential areas that are generally characterized by physical soil loss from erosion, nutrient deficiency, low organic matter, aluminium and iron toxicity , crusting and moisture stress (Place et al., 2003).”
The Future of Small Farms: New Directions for Services, Institutions and Intermediation (2010, background): “However, despite significant successes with ISFM (see for example Place et al. 2003; Snapp et al. 2003), there has been only limited progress in developing ISFM technologies where population density and land pressure are very high.”
Can carbon sequestration markets benefit low-income producers in semi-arid Africa? Potentials and challenges (2007, background): “Even within a limited area, multiple soil management or crop fertilization regimes may occur, some of which may be more promising than others (Ramish, 1999; Yusuf, 2001 in Mortimore et al., 2005; Warren, 2002; Place et al., 2003).”
Understanding the agricultural input landscape in Sub-Saharan Africa : recent plot, household, and community-level evidence (2014, background): “The entire integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) paradigm is built around the belief that inorganic and organic fertilizer should be used together to improve both the nutrient availability and absorption capacity of the soil (Place et al. 2003; Vanlauwe et al. 2010, 2011).”
On the Structural Transformation of Rural Africa (2017, background): “In a similar spirit, integrated soil fertility management methods to end or even reverse soil degradation could substantially increase yields without stimulating sharply increased reliance on unaffordable, imported fertilizers (Place et al. 2003; Sanginga and Woomer 2009; Vanlauwe et al. 2010).”
Realigning research and extension to focus on farmers’ constraints and opportunities (2003, background): “There is promisingresearch indicatingthat org anic inputs from crop residues, livestock manure and green manures can enhance fertilizer efficiency and enhance yields (Palm et al., 1997; Place et al., this issue ).”
State-conditional Fertilizer Yield Response on Western Kenyan Farms (2009, unknown): “Reversing these trends through investments in soil fertility is crucial to agricultural productivity and poverty (Place et al. 2003).”
