Zai improves nutrient and water productivity in the Ethiopian highlands por Amede, Tilahun, Menza, M., Awulachew, Seleshi Bekele

“…The income of farmers who used zai pits was up to 20-fold higher than the labour costs required to prepare them. Contrary to conventional wisdom, this study reveals that the major constraint of the outfields is not nutrient deficiency per se rather low soil water holding capacity, which hinders crop growth and efficient utilization of available nutrients.…”

Incorporating shortseason legumes and green manure crops into maizebased systems in the moist Guinea savanna of West Africa por Franke, A., Schulz, S., Oyewole, B., Bako, S.

“…Given the limited growing season of the northern Guinea savanna, it is concluded that timing of field operations is crucial for the successful application of double cropping systems. In addition, high labour requirements are a serious constraint for wide-scale adoption of double cropping systems by small-scale farmers, stressing the need to reduce soil cultivation operations, for example by maintaining a uniform ridge distance for all crops in the rotation.…”
