Abstract
The book is a collection of papers which cover topics and results of ‘Rocks for Crops’ (or rock phosphates) research and development carried out globally by researchers in soil fertility, agro-geology, and mineralogy, and includes various crop fertilizers and soil improvement methods. Geological inventories of agro-minerals and geochemical surveys outlining soil deficiencies are described from China and Uganda. The collection of papers is derived from the Second International Rocks for Crops Conference at the World Agroforestry Center (ICRAF) in Nairobi, Kenya.
