Manure utilisation, drought cycles and herd dynamics in the Sahel: implications for cropland productivity
Animal manure is of vital importance to soil-fertility maintenance in semi-arid West Africa due to its intrinsic value as a soil amendment and because of the low level of inorganic fertiliser use. This paper provides a regional overview of manure utilisation for food crop production. Results of expe...
