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...
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 ...
