Communicating complexity: Integrated assessment of trade-offs concerning soil fertility management within African farming systems to support innovation and development (2011, methodology): “Key questions on trade-offs between resource allocation or prioritising of different farm activities require analysis at farm level, including the dynamic feedbacks between different parts of the farm (Tittonell et al., 2007a).”
Understanding variability in soybean yield and response to P-fertilizer and rhizobium inoculants on farmers’ fields in northern Nigeria (2016, methodology): “To improve he predictive value of the dataset, we could therefore look for roxies for these parameters: delays in planting and weeding are ften related to labour or cash constraints, and hence to resource ndowment (Tittonell et al., 2007; Pircher et al., 2013).”
Identifying determinants, pressures and trade-offs of crop residue use in mixed smallholder farms in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia (2015, background): “These are particularly important on mixed farms, especially where crop production does not meet CR demand and alternative resources are not accessible or affordable (Latham, 1997; Tittonell et al., 2007; Rufino et al., 2011).”
