An on-farm trial, in which a wheat-clover mixed cropping treatment was compared with un-fertilised (control) and N-fertilised (23 kg N ha (-1)) pure wheat treatments, was conducted at Ginchi (2200 metres above sea level (m asl)) and Deneba (2600 m asl) in the Ethiopian highlands. Compared with th...

Phosphorus (P) is required to improve soil fertility for food and feed produciton in sub-Saharan Africa, but the high cost of conventional, water-soluble P fertilizers limits their use by resource-poor farmers. Rockphosphates are a low-cost alternative. The effectiveness, in terms of seed product...

Soil fertility is declining in most agro-ecosystems in sub-Saharan Africa, and incorporation of forage legumes into production systems to utilize the nitrogen fixed by the legumes could alleviate the problem, if efficient nitrogen-fixing legumes are used. The amounts of nitrogen fixed by Lablab, ...

Although the majority of soils in Africa are P deficient, the high cost of conventional water-soluble P fertilizers limits their use by resource-poor farmers. Rockphosphates are a low-cost alternative. The effect of Egyptian rockphosphate (ERP) from two sources, applied at 50 kg P ha-1, on annual...

Poor drainage of Vertisols and nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) deficiencies are some if the major constraints to food and feed production in the Ethiopian highlands. The effects of soil drainage and P supply on N fixation by annual trifolium species and their residual value to succeeding crops wa...
