Soil degradation poses a serious threat to food production and rural livelihoods in sub-Saharan Africa1. Nutrient mining ,as a result of unsustainable farming practices, have left the soils unfertile (Fig.1). Green Manure Cover Crops (GMCC’s) are a promising intervention to improve soil health2.B...

Improving soil health by utilizing the appropriate tillage, cropping systems and soil management practices is important for enhanced soil quality and agricultural productivity. Of key importance is effect of these factors on the persistence of soil faunal diversity, biomass and their performance ...

CROSST is an Excel-based tool that assesses both agro-environmental and socio-economic impacts of Green Manure Cover Crop (GMCC) technologies. The tool quantifies gross economic margin, productivity (yield), soil health (N and P balances, soil structure, and soil organic carbon), required labor h...

Farming practices in sub-Saharan Africa have resulted in declining soil fertility. Hence, Green Manure Cover Crops (GMCC) are promoted for soil improvement and protection. Adoption of GMCCs by farmers, including integration in their cropping systems, requires a good understanding of the multi-dim...

Rangelands occupy 25% of the total land surface globally. In Africa, rangelands are estimated to cover 66% of the land surface, although there are variations from country to country. In Eastern Africa, for example, land surface coverage of rangeland areas varies from 44% in Uganda and 65% in Ethi...

Secondary and micronutrients are important in enhancing crop productivity; yet, they are hardly studied in sub-Sahara Africa. In this region, the main focus has been on macronutrients but there is emerging though scattered evidence of crop productivity limitations by the secondary and micronutrie...

A synthesis of available agronomic datasets and peer-reviewed scientific literature was conducted to: (1) assess the status of micronutrients in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) arable soils, (2) improve the understanding of the relations between soil quality/management and crop nutritional quality and (...
