Full Description
This book explores the potential of biofertilizers as a natural and eco-friendly alternative for promoting sustainable soil fertility management among smallholder farmers in Africa. It highlights current research trends on biofertilizers that can be adopted by resource-poor farmers, equipping stakeholders with knowledge to unlock relevant sustainable farming practices. By identifying key research gaps in the field, this comprehensive volume paves the way for further advancements and future research directions, ensuring continued innovation in developing and delivering effective biofertilizer solutions for African farmers. The chapters focus on key aspects such as the potential and long-term sustainability of biofertilizers, research trends and advancements in biofertilizer technology, and addressing resource limitations faced by smallholder farmers.
This book is an essential resource for researchers, policymakers, extension workers, and, most importantly, the farmers themselves.
