The presentation details the fertilizer microdosing technique of planting and applying fertilizer. Using this technique, one farmer can sow and fertilize crops; whereas previously, three people would be needed to first open the planting mounds; second, place the seed; and third, apply microfertilizer and close the mounds. The performance of microdosing and rainwater harvesting are assessed in terms of field demonstrations, soil fertility and crop yields.
