Evaluation of application timing in fertilizer micro-dosing technology on millet production in Niger, West Africa (2008, background): “…(P) and nitrogen (N) in the soil are the major constraints to crop growth on these nutrient-depleted sandy soils, with the many studies carried out in the region concluding that the P deficiency is one of the most limiting factors of millet production (Payne et al. 1992; Buerkert et al. 2001a).”
Impact of agricultural management on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities in Kenyan ferralsol (2007, background): “…the tropics are commonly depleted in available P pools and continuing removal of P with crop export further aggravates this problem (Smithson and Giller, 2002), some application of P fertilizer will be needed to offset loss of fertility in such soil (Buerkert et al., 2001; Bünemann et al., 2004c).”
