Improving Cassava Yield and Profitability in the Philippines
Cassava’s rising demand for use as food, animal feed, and industrial purposes encourages farmers to increase production. Improved fertilizer practices are necessary to provide. cassava with nutrients needed to produce higher yields, increase farmers’ income, and reverse soil degradation.
Improved Plant Nutrition Helps Moroccan Farmers Control Wheat Crown Rot
Wheat crown rot is a fungal disease that results in significant economic loss in Morocco and in wheat-growing areas around the world. The disease causes the heads of wheat plants to turn white and die prematurely. Efforts to control crown rot have been limited by a poor understanding of the interacting factors associated with crop management and disease development, especially the benefits of balanced nutrition.
Research with Impact
Olives are one of the most important fruit crops in Morocco. The country’s fruit production has nearly doubled in the last ten years. But this higher production is mainly due to increased tree planting as yields remain low. Nutrient deficiencies and imbalanced fertilization remain a primary constraint to higher yields. IPNI cooperated within a study that evaluated current farmer practices for 36 olive orchards.
A Closer Look at Fertilizer Research
This year IPNI supported more than 130 projects aimed at improving the use of fertilizers. In honor of Global Fertilizer Day take a look at the impact of our fertilizer research!
