dc.description.abstractThis trial tested and fine-tuned fertilizer micro-dosing and application (using different rates and time intervals), on the yield and quality of Indigenous vegetables. Results show that fertilizer micro-dosing can be used to sustainably produce these vegetables when combined with organic manure at the rate of 5 tons per ha. Soils of both forest and savanna ecosystems were able to sustain high vegetable yield under fertilizer micro-dose rate at 40 kg/ha over the three years of study when compared with the farmers' recommended rates. Capillary irrigation can reduce both the volume of required irrigation water, and women’s workloads.en
