Fine-tuning Climate-smart Nitrogen Management Practices in Maize-based Crop Systems of Eastern Kenya
Theme: Precision Nutrient Management
Flagship: 4R Nutrient Stewardship in Africa (4R Africa)
Start Date: 2021
End Date: 2024
Description
This project’s objectives are to: characterize business models that support adoption and scaling of weather-sensitive nutrient management technologies, innovations and management practices; identify and map maize stress patterns; benchmark upper limits for water and nitrogen use efficiency of maize; validate and promote best management practices for soil moisture conservation and N use efficiency; and develop and validate an easy-to-use water and N budget calculator.
