Fertiliser microdosing (FM) is widely promoted in sub‐Saharan Africa as a means to improve fertiliser use efficiency in cereal crops. However, combining organic amendments with FM could further increase the agronomic efficiency of the latter because of possible synergies between both practices. This study therefore evaluated whether combining FM with organic amendments enhanced fertiliser use...
Abstract: Fertilizer microdosing (FM) is being promoted in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) to boost crop productivity on smallholder farms. However, yield response variability is a barrier to adoption. We conducted a meta‐analysis to analyze the variability in cereal crop yield response to FM and to determine the main factors associated with this variability. Thirty publications pertaining to millet...
Fertilizer microdosing is being widely promoted across sub-Saharan Africa, yet all recommendations regarding this technology are derived from short-term studies. Such studies are insufficient to properly assess the production risk caused by climatic variability. To address this issue while avoiding costly long-term experiments, a common and well accepted strategy is to combine results from...
