The quality of crop residues can be improved through integrating more legume residues. This experiment assess the effect of legume residues from a doubled up system as compared to maize residues on rotational maize and N dynamics in the short term. In the long term,...
Assessing the Effect of Residue Quantity and Quality, and Water Conservation on Maize Productivity and Nitrogen Dynamics on Smallholder Farms in Malawi Oct 10, 2023 - Africa RISING Dataverse International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), 2023, "Assessing the Effect of Residue Quantity and Quality, and Water Conservation on Maize Productivity and Nitrogen Dynamics on Smallholder Farms in Malawi", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/1A6WMD, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:3Chcr949v7E4fbqU8ULAsQ== [fileUNF] Many soils on smallholder farms in Malawi have poor soil organic matter content. This results in poor maize productivity when sufficient mineral fertilizers are not added. Building soil organic matter requires improving both cereal and legume crops primary productivity through mineral fertilizers, and retaining the associated crop residues on the c...
