Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Calcined Burkina phosphate rock (CPR) showed no superiority over non-calcined Burkina phosphate rock (BPR) for grain production.
- Intervention effect 50CPR + 50TSP increased cowpea yield over OM by 65% in 2021.
- Intervention effect 50CPR + 50TSP increased cowpea yield over OM by 38% in 2022.
- Intervention effect TSP boosted sorghum yield by 69% in 2021.
- Intervention effect BPR recorded the highest sorghum yield increase of 77% over OM in 2022.
- Intervention effect 50CPR + 50TSP enhanced cowpea soil available P from 2021 to 2022, reaching 5.86 mg kg−1.
- Intervention effect 50CPR + 50TSP enhanced sorghum soil available P from 2021 to 2022, reaching 0.07 mg kg−1.
- Recommendation Combining CPR and TSP can help reduce inorganic fertilizer amounts for small-scale farmers.
