Project description
 

Conservation agriculture (CA) and integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) are approaches believed to improve soil health and crop yields. Debate exists on which of the two approaches come first during implementation process and which pathway would result in better soil health and crop yields. This proposal is thus designed to investigate such questions using field trials.
