Development of sustainable use of land resources in semiarid Tropics
Overview of the research
Semiarid Tropics of Africa is one of the most susceptible areas to desertification. To realize better crop productivity in a sustainable manner - New "Green Revolution" -, I establish the integrated land stewardship that can minimize the nutrient loss from the farmland and can allow the nutrient input, validate its effectiveness and develop the way to disseminate it.
