This book contains 17 chapters providing details on decision tools that use linear programming to determine recommendations specific to a farmer's context intended to maximize profit from fertilizer use in sub-saharan Africa. Chapter 1 and 2 discusses the principles and approach, and spatial...
This chapter discusses the importance of using spatial data in finding and compiling information from research conducted under crop growing conditions similar to the conditions of the targeted recommendation domain. Further, the chapter states that sharing of research results across countries was...
This chapter explores alternatives of nutrient supply and management for high nutrient use efficiency. It establishes that fertilizer use optimization is within the framework of integrated soil fertility management with recommended fertilizer rates adjusted according to soil property information...
This chapter describes the general agricultural context of Ethiopia, the characteristics of seven agroecological zones, the soil types, and the main cropping. It addresses fertilizer use optimization in Ethiopia and factors that affect profitability of fertilizer use. Computer-run and paper-based...
