Traditionally, crop production in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) depends primarily on mining soil nutrients. Integrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM) is an approach for intensifying agriculture in SSA that aims at maximizing the agronomic efficiency (AE) of applied nutrient inputs. ISFM contains the...


Vanlauwe, BernardKihara, JobChivenge, P.P.Pypers, PieterCoe, R.Six, Johan[Agronomic use efficiency of N fertilizer in maize-based systems in sub-Saharan Africa within the context of integrated soil fertility management]Agronomic use efficiency of N fertilizer in maize-based systems in sub-Saharan Africa within the context of integrated soil fertility management

Aggregation and stabilization of soil organic C (SOC) and N are highly dependent on soil texture and addition of organic resources (ORs). While OR quality may influence SOC and N stabilization within aggregates, the simultaneous addition of N-fertilizers may enhance OR decomposition resulting in ...


Chivenge, P.P.Vanlauwe, BernardGentile, RSix, Johan[Comparison of organic versus mineral resource effects on short-term aggregate carbon and nitrogen dynamics in a sandy soil versus a fine textured soil]Comparison of organic versus mineral resource effects on short-term aggregate carbon and nitrogen dynamics in a sandy soil versus a fine textured soil

The combined application of organic resources (ORs) and mineral fertilizers is increasingly gaining recognition as a viable approach to address soil fertility decline in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). We conducted a meta-analysis to provide a comprehensive and quantitative synthesis of conditions unde...

Chivenge, P.P.Vanlauwe, BernardGentile, RWangechi, HKMugendi, DNKessel, Chris vanSix, Johan[Organic and mineral input management to enhance crop productivity in Central Kenya]Organic and mineral input management to enhance crop productivity in Central Kenya

Organic C inputs and their rate of stabilization influence C sequestration and nutrient cycling in soils. This study was undertaken to explore the influence of the combined application of different quality organic resources (ORs) with N fertilizers on the link between aggregate dynamics and soil ...


Chivenge, P.P.Vanlauwe, BernardGentile, RSix, Johan[Organic resource quality influences short-term aggregate dynamics and soil organic carbon and nitrogen accumulation]Organic resource quality influences short-term aggregate dynamics and soil organic carbon and nitrogen accumulation

The decline of soil organic matter (SOM) and its associated fertility is one of the most important constraints to enhanced crop productivity in sub-Saharan Africa. Integrated soil fertility management recognizes the potential benefits of the combined use of organic residue and mineral fertilizer ...
