Popis: Maize, rice and millet yield are very low in Mali due to low fertilizer use. The research results reported here are based on work carried out in the different agroecological zones (AEZs) in Mali for Africa, with a structure of treatments allowing the determination of the response functions for nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) on maize, rice and millet. A diagnostic treatment including Zn, Mg, and B was compared with the same NPK treatment to evaluate the effect of micronutrients. The results will be combined with research conducted under similar agro-ecological conditions to develop robust response functions for the different crops and ensure greater profit in fertilizer use decisions.
