Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Mineral fertilizers increased recalcitrant carbon, total nitrogen and ammonium content in the soil of the cowpea study.
- Intervention effect Organic fertilizers only increased soil nitrate content in the cowpea study.
- Intervention effect Mineral and organic fertilizer types gave no differences in cowpea crop yield, quality and nutritional composition.
- Recommendation Organic fertilizers can be a sustainable alternative for maintaining cowpea crop yield and quality.
