Strategic phosphorus application in legume-cereal rotations increases land productivity and profitability in Western Kenya
Many food production systems in sub-Saharan Africa are constrained by phosphorus (P). We hypothesized that within legume-cereal rotation systems: targeting P to the legume phase leads to higher system productivity, and that use of grain legumes leads to better economic returns than use of herbaceous...
