Disadvantages:
• Quality of organic resources is often poor
• Quantity of manure or organic resources is not sufficient
– Competing uses for plant residues
• Organic materials are bulky and costly to store, transport and apply
• Adoption and suitability of leguminous cover crops is limited by
(1) high labour requirements (4) drought and low soil pH limit BNF
(2) only N can be supplied (5) lack of useable yield (grain
(3) availability of other nutrients (e.g. P) legumes excepted)
need to be sufficient for effective BNF
When unsufficient nutrients are
added to maintain soil fertility:
downward spiral into a poverty trap
Integrated Soil Fertility Management
Defining factors
YP = G x E
Limiting factors
YW = G x E x M (water)
A B
Fertilizer input (kg/ha)
Positive interaction:
fertilizer – organic matter
4. Yield from
unfertilized BH540
was slightly higher
than fertilized local
varieties
Low or no response:
- Fertile in-fields, due
to high amounts of
nutrients applied in
the past
Unresponsive
Unresponsive - Degraded soils
(degraded
(degradedsoil)
soil) - Weed infested fields
Variable responses to nutrient inputs
AE = (YF-FC) / Xappl
Sounds perfect!
