- Intervention effect Microdose increased grain yield by 240 to 300 kg ha-1 on sandy soils.
- Intervention effect Microdose increased grain yield by 400 kg ha-1 on silty clay soils in Mali.
- Intervention effect Microdose increased stover yield by 250 to 400 kg ha-1 on sandy soils.
- Intervention effect Microdose increased stover yield by 500 to 2500 kg ha-1 on silty clay soils in Mali.
- Intervention effect Adding P and N to microdose commonly increased stover yield by 600 to 1500 kg ha-1 versus microdose alone.
- Recommendation The authors recommend microdose plus 20 kg ha-1 P2O5 and 30 kg ha-1 N to optimize grain and stover yield.
