The agronomic and economic benefits of fertilizer and mulch use in highland banana systems in Uganda
Banana is the most important food crop in Uganda. However, there has been a decline in productivity, attributed to declining soil fertility, drought, pests and diseases and crop management factors. This study aimed to explore the possibility of increasing yields through the use of fertilizer and mul...
