AndréOkalebo, John RobertOthieno, CalebHerrmann, LaetitiaLesueur, Didier[Minjingu phosphate rock applications increase the population of phosphate solubilising microorganisms with a positive impact on crop yields in a Kenyan Ferralsol]Minjingu phosphate rock applications increase the population of phosphate solubilising microorganisms with a positive impact on crop yields in a Kenyan Ferralsol

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...


Kihara, JobVanlauwe, BernardWaswa, Boaz S.Kimetu, J.M.Chianu, J.N.Bationo, B. André[Strategic phosphorus application in legume-cereal rotations increases land productivity and profitability in Western Kenya]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...


Okalebo, JROthieno, COWoomer, P.L.Karanja, NKNSemoka, JMRBekunda, Mateete A.Mugendi, DNMuasya, RMBationo, B. AndréMukhwana, EJ[Available technologies to replenish soil fertility in East Africa]Available technologies to replenish soil fertility in East Africa

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...


Ouattara, BOuattara, K.Serpantie, G.Mando, ASedogo, MPBationo, B. André[Intensity cultivation induced effect on soil organic carbon dynamic in the western cotton area of Burkuna Faso]Intensity cultivation induced effect on soil organic carbon dynamic in the western cotton area of Burkuna Faso

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...


Yamoah, CFBationo, B. AndréShapiro, Barry I.Saidou, K[Use of rainfall indices to analyze the effects of phosphate rocks on millet in the Sahel]Use of rainfall indices to analyze the effects of phosphate rocks on millet in the Sahel

In search of options to cope with climate change and variability, a trial combining fertilization and improved varieties of millet and cowpea (intercropped or as sole crop) was conducted on three sites (Lemnogo, Tibtenga and Ramdolla) in the northern region of Burkina Faso. The application of cat...
