This paper assesses the potential economic impacts of balanced nutrient management systemstechnology options: BNMS-manure, which combines inorganic fertilizer and organic manure,and BNMS-rotation, which is maize–soybean rotation, in maize-based systems in the northernGuinea savanna areas of Niger...
As part of a major effort to address soil fertility decline in West Africa, a project on balanced nutrient management systems (BNMS) has been implemented in the northern Guinea savanna (NGS) of Nigeria. The project tested and promoted two major technology packages: a combinedapplication of inorga...
On the basis of projected economic and poverty impacts of alternative commodity research programs, this article assessed efficiency and equitytradeoffs and the scope for research resource reallocation in Nigeria. Given the importance of major food staples to both poor and non...
