Soil fertility management (SFM) is a prerequisit for resilent farming and agriculture and food systems. However, adoption of technologies remain rather poor in the context of African small-scale farmers. Our research aims to shed light on its causes.
We want to include basically factors from soil sciences, agronomy and agricultureal sciences, economics, communication sciences and sociology.
The farmers' behaviour towards soil fertility management is influenced by following factors:
1. Level of awareness of farmers regarding importance of SFM in enhancing crop yields and in promoting eco-friendly cultivation.
2. Present level of nutrient status of soil
3. Type of crops and varieties under cultivation
4. Availability of locally recycled manures
5. Cost of nutrient fertilizer in the market and their accessibility.
