Eco-efficiency Analysis of Typical Smallholder Systems: Case Study in Southwestern Burkina Faso
Presentation of Eco-efficiency Analysis of Typical Smallholder Systems: Case Study in Southwestern Burkina Faso
Understanding variability in soybean yield and response to P-fertilizer and rhizobium inoculants on farmers' fields in northern Nigeria
Soybean yields could benefit from the use of improved varieties, phosphate-fertilizer and rhizobium inoculants. In this study, we evaluated the results of widespread testing of promiscuous soybean varieties with four ...
Integrated production functions for main crop fields in Pontieba, south-western Burkina Faso: Empirical estimations for efficiency assessment and further integrated modelling
Understanding efficiencies of the uses of major inputs for smallholder cropping systems such as labour and fertilizer under heterogeneous site conditions are important for sustainable intensification management and policy. ...
