Results of research work carried out in Africa on the response of beans to NPK fertilizers, liming, S and other secondary/micronutrients, and organic manures are reviewed. Band or spot placement of P, fertilizer management in multiple crop systems, and correlations between soil data, yields, and ...

Soil Phosphatase Activities across a Liming Gradient under Long-Term Managements in Kenya
Cassava is becoming an ever more important crop, and over the past 20–30 years its planted area has increased faster than that of any other food crop. However, yields are still low due to the fact that the crop is usually grown on infertile soils and without adequate soil and crop management. Thi...
Cassava is an important crop in India, with an area of 289,000 ha and production of 5.6 million t of fresh roots in 1991. It is mainly cultivated in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and in the Northeastern states. A large variation in cassava consumption exists between urban and rural areas in ...

In the past few years, the economy of Vietnam has developed very rapidly, and in agriculture, food production has been quite successful, especially that of rice. At the same time cassava production has changed from being a crop providing food for humans to being a cash crop. The planting of new c...

Nutritional studies of cassava have shown that in high-P acid laterite soils, there was no response to P application during four years of consecutive cropping. In low-P soil, even though cassava initially responded to 100 kg P2O5/ha, the response gradually declined. The optimum economic dose of P...

Five soil types on which cassava is being planted were investigated. Almost all these soils are degraded in terms of soil properties, especially with respect to soil fertility. Cassava is traditionally planted without fertilizer application and soil conservation measures, resulting in a negative ...
