Multiple benefits of manure : The key to maintenance of soil fertility and restoration of depleted sandy soils on African smallholder farms
Manure is a key nutrient resource on smallholder farms in the tropics, especially on poorly buffered sandy soils, due to its multiple benefits for soil fertility. Farmers preferentially apply manure to fields closest to homesteads (homefields), which are more fertile than fields further away (outfie...
