Due to increased population pressure and limited availability of fertile land, farmers on desert fringes increasingly rely on marginal land for agricultural production, which they have learned to rehabilitate with different technologies for soils and water conservation. One such method is the ind...

The rainfall erosivity (R) and soil erodibility (K) factors of the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) were determined on two sites in the Colombian Cauca Department over a five year period when rainfall was mostly lower than average. The results showed that the high erosion potential of the soil...

Two critical factors that explain low crop productivity in the Sahelian agro-ecozone are inadequate
moisture and poor soils, particularly phosphorus (P) deficiency. The purpose of this long-term study
was to explore the use of both local phosphate rock (PR) and inorganic P on yields and risk of...
