Strategies to optimize allocation of limited nutrients to sandy soils of the Sahel: A case study from Niger, West Africa
Soils used for rainfed cereal production in Niger are sandy, deficient in major nutrients (N and P), and also low in organic matter content. Scarce rainfall with an unpredictable distribution in space and time makes crop and nutrient management difficult. Observations were made in 1996 and 1997 on m...
