Many food production systems in sub-Saharan Africa are constrained by phosphorus (P). We hypothesized that within legume-cereal rotation systems: targeting P to the legume phase leads to higher system productivity, and that use of grain legumes leads to better economic returns than use of herbace...

Strategic phosphorus application in legume-cereal rotations increases land productivity and profitability in Western Kenya
Low inherent soil fertility in the highly weathered and leached soils largely accounts for low and unsustained crop yields in most African countries. But in particular, the major nutrients, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), are commonly deficient in these soils. This scenario of nutrient depletion...

The soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamic is a key element of soil fertility in savannah ecosystems that form the key agricultural lands in sub-Saharan Africa. In the western part of Burkina Faso, the land use is mostly linked to cotton-based cropping systems. Use of mechanization, pesticides, and he...

Two critical factors that explain low crop productivity in the Sahelian agro-ecozone are inadequate
moisture and poor soils, particularly phosphorus (P) deficiency. The purpose of this long-term study
was to explore the use of both local phosphate rock (PR) and inorganic P on yields and risk of...
