Some promising soil fertility technologies being developed within SoilFerNet
1999
Waddington, S.R.
As of October, 1997, the Rockefeller Foundation-funded "Soil Fertility Research Network for Maize-Based Cropping Systems in Malawi and Zimbabwe" has several promising technologies under study, including maize + pigeonpea intercropping, Magoye soybean rotations, and area-specific fertilizer recommendations for Malawi, as well as a yield optimization fertilizer package and soybean for communal areas in Zimbabwe. Several of these initiatives represent potential areas of involvement for the Risk Management Project-"where" or "how" are topics to be discussed during the stakeholder workshop. More information on the technologies mentioned above is available directly from our members and in papers such as those presented at the SoilFertNet Results and Planning Workshop held at Africa University, July 1997.
