This is a comprehensive dataset specifically on crop response to fertilizers and is obtained from published journal articles, thesis and proceedings spanning at least 5 decades. It represents all the agriculturally productive regions of Ethiopia. The data contains information on region, crop type...
Crop production in sub-Sahara Africa is constrained by low soil phosphorus (P) content. A study was conducted in western Kenya to explore alternative P inputs and ways of optimizing their effectiveness and profitability. A field experiment established in 2007 studied the effects of Minjingu phosp...

Long-term effects of TSP and Minjingu phosphate rock applications on yield response of maize and soybean in a humid tropical maize–legume cropping system
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...

Increasing land sustainability and productivity through and fertility management in the West African Sudano-Sahelian zone
Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient but is commonly limiting for food production in tropical
and subtropical maize cropping. The efficiency of P fertiliser uptake is often low (5–30%) for various
site-specific reasons and so identifying the drivers of P efficiency for different systems is imp...
