Research results on the use of OM to maintain soil fertility, with particular reference to bean crops in Africa, are reviewed. Aspects covered are (1) the role that soil OM plays in soil physical structure, chemical properties, and biological activities and (2) the different interactions of manag...
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 ...

Since the 1980s, along with many other countries, Sri Lanka rapidly embraced groundwater irrigation. At the same time, the government, externally funded projects and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) made bold efforts to promote water-saving technologies, such as drip and sprinkler irrigation ...
