The effects of management history and landscape position on inter-field variation in soil fertility and millet yields in southwestern Niger

2015-12-01

Abstract excerpt

The effects of human management on the inter-field variability of soil fertility and crop yields were studied in southwestern Niger. Chemical fertility (organic C, total N, available P, K, exchangeable bases, pH) of the surface soils of 181 fields dispersed within two agropastoral territories covering 412km2 was measured. Analyses of crop yields demonstrated that inter-field variation in chemical fertility more si...
