Co-application of Vermicompost with Other Amendments for the Improvement of Infertile/Degraded Soils

Bio-physical and socio-economic challenges, farmers’ perception of success and 14- year soil fertility trajectories in smallholder organic market gardens of North-East Zimbabwe

“…The process of conditioning the soil takes time and is depended upon the soil fertility status, quantity and quality of organic materials applied, and other soil management practices employed (which include cropping and tillage type) (Tumbure et al, 2022). These variables are responsible for greater variations in crop yield responses observed after organic material addition in sub-Saharan Africa (Tumbure et al, 2023). In a practical sense most smallholder farmers in Africa rely on multiple sources of organic materials for organic agricultural production.…”
