Cassava agronomy research and adoption of improved practices in Thailand: Major achievements during the past 35 years
Results of longterm fertility trials have been useful in identifying long-term nutrient needs and problems arising with continuous and intensive cropping on Alfisols. Available data have shown that high and sustained crop yields can be obtained with judicious and balanced NPK fertilization, combi...

Soil fertility depletion is considered one of the main biophysical limiting factors for increasing per capita food production for smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa. The adoption and diffusion of sustainable agricultural practices (SAPs), as a way to tackle this challenge, has become an im...

Characteristics of the major soil groups found in bean-growing areas of Africa (Alfisols, Ultisols, Oxisols, Inceptisols) and associated nutritional disorders are discussed. Soil fertility factors affecting bean growth and N fixation, as evidenced in research conducted in Africa, are reviewed as ...
