Bationo, B. AndréRamisch, Joshua J.Bado, BVKihara, JobVanlauwe, BernardAdamou, A.Kimetu, J.Tabo, RamadjitaLompo, FOuattara, BKoala, Saidou[Research highlights on integrated soil fertility management in the Sahel]Research highlights on integrated soil fertility management in the Sahel

Major challenges for combined use of organic and mineral nutrient sources in smallholder agriculture include variable type and quality of the resources, their limited availability, timing of their relative application and the proportions at which the two should be combined. Short-term nutrient su...


Mtambanengwe, F.Mapfumo, PaulVanlauwe, Bernard[Comparative short-term effects of different quality organic resources on maize productivity under two different environments in Zimbabwe]Comparative short-term effects of different quality organic resources on maize productivity under two different environments in Zimbabwe

The combined application of cattle manure and inorganic fertilizer has been widely recommended in the context of integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) on smallholder farms in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, the conditions under which this combination (hereafter ISFM) improves nutrient an...


Sileshi, Gudeta W.Jama, B.Vanlauwe, BernardNegassa, W.Harawa, R.Kiwia, A.Kimani, D.[Nutrient use efficiency and crop yield response to the combined application of cattle manure and inorganic fertilizer in sub-Saharan Africa]Nutrient use efficiency and crop yield response to the combined application of cattle manure and inorganic fertilizer in sub-Saharan Africa
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

Maintenance of soil organic matter (SOM) at levels that sustain optimal supply of soil nutrients and enhance efficiency of externally added fertilizers is a major challenge for smallholder farming systems of southern Africa. A study was conducted to quantify the interactive effects of organic res...


Mapfumo, PaulMtambanengwe, F.Vanlauwe, Bernard[Organic matter quality and management effects on enrichment of soil organic matter fractions in contrasting soils in Zimbabwe]Organic matter quality and management effects on enrichment of soil organic matter fractions in contrasting soils in Zimbabwe

Declining soil fertility is a major cause of low per capita food production on smallholder farms of sub-Saharan Africa. This study attempted to provide an empirical explanation of the factors associated with farmers’ decisions to adopt or not to adopt newly introduced integrated soil fertility ma...


Mugwe, JMugendi, DNMucheru-Muna, M.Merckx, R.Chianu, J.N.Vanlauwe, Bernard[Determinants of the decision to adopt integrated soil fertility management practices by smallholder farmers in the central highlands of Kenya]Determinants of the decision to adopt integrated soil fertility management practices by smallholder farmers in the central highlands of Kenya

Nutrient depletion is a major constraint to crop production for moist savanna soils, and inputs of nutrients are required to overcome this constraint. The impact of sole and combined applications of organic inputs (OIs) [fresh tree prunings, Pueraria phaseoloides (Roxb.) Benth. residues, and manu...


Vanlauwe, BernardAihou, K.Aman, SIwuafor, E.N.O.Tossah, B.K.Diels, J.Sanginga, NteranyaLyasse, O.Merckx, R.Deckers, J.[Maize yield as affected by organic inputs and urea in the West African moist savanna]Maize yield as affected by organic inputs and urea in the West African moist savanna

Organic resources (ORs) are essential inputs in tropical farming systems and their decomposition dynamics are related to their quality. A Decision Support System (DSS) for organic N management has been proposed earlier that subdivides ORs in four classes depending on their N, lignin, and soluble ...


Vanlauwe, BernardGachengo, CNShepherd, Keith D.Barrios, E.Cadisch, GeorgPalm, C.A.[Laboratory validation of a resource quality-based conceptual framework for organic matter management]Laboratory validation of a resource quality-based conceptual framework for organic matter management

Traditional farming systems in Sub-Saharan Africa depend primarily on mining soil nutrients. The African green revolution aims to intensify agriculture through the dissemination of integrated soil fertility management (ISFM). This paper develops a robust and operational definition of ISFM based o...
