Crop-livestock interaction in the savannas of Nigeria: nature and determinants of farmer decision to use manure for soil fertility maintenance
In Nigeria, increased land-use intensity has depressed the use of fallow for soil fertility restoration. Crop yields have fallen, threatening food security. High cost limits farmers’ access to fertilizers. Reliance on crop-livestock interaction is plausible because animals provide manure. This paper...
