Nutrient use efficiency in banana-bean intercropping systems in the Upper Pangani catchment, Tanzania by Meya, I.A.

“…Mchare banana production in Arusha and Kilimanjaro regions was constrained by low soil fertility, ii. quantities of manure produced in the homesteads by zero-grazed dairy cattle were insufficient to replenish nutrient elements and maintain high soil fertility in banana home gardens when used alone, iii. agronomic performance of mineral N fertilization only was inferior to that of cattle manure alone, which represented the traditional farmers’ practice, iv. the ISFM technique, which combined cattle manure and urea each contributing 50 % of annual N budget improved the internal and utilization efficiency of the applied N while it did not supply adequate amounts of Cu and Zn to the crop same as cattle manure only, v. the conventional mode of production, which relied on cattle manure only was less profitable compared with the ISFM technique, vi. soil fertility management practices in smallholder maize fields, which relied on urea applications only caused mining of other nutrient elements and is expected to degrade the land. …”
